L'OFFICIEL uncovers the truth behind the products that claim to enhance our natural allure.&nbsp;

A recent <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/how-to-make-tik-tok-trends-high-fashion-corsets" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TikTok trend</a> has sparked a universal desire to uncover the truth about pheromone-infused products that claim to boost our attractiveness and inspire desire in others. To help you determine whether or not romance-enhancing&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/how-to-wear-apply-perfume-fragrance-tips" target="_blank" rel="noopener">perfumes</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/the-best-facial-oils-for-stressed-out-skin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oils</a> are worth the buy, we did some digging.<o:p></o:p>

Found within <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/animals-on-fashion-runway-gucci-chanel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">animals</a> and insects, pheromones are hormones that work on the outside of the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-skin-firming-tightening-body-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener">body</a>. Otherwise known as ectohormones, these chemicals found within bodily excretions such as <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/sweat-proof-makeup-products-summer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sweat</a> have the ability to influence the behavior of outside individuals. Between animals, pheromones have a variety of functions. In some cases, these naturally produced chemicals can be used to stimulate sexual arousal between two individuals within a species, and in other cases, are used as a form of communication between <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/mother-daughter-owned-fashion-brands" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mother</a> and offspring.<o:p></o:p>

Though various studies have shown the role of pheromones within animals and insects, there is very little scientific evidence to prove that human pheromones are linked to sexual attraction and arousal-or that they even exist at all.&nbsp;<o:p></o:p>

Pure Instinct Unisex Pheromone Perfume Oil 

An extensive array of fragrant <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/face-mists-summer-beauty-products" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sprays</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-dry-body-oils-summer-2021" target="_blank" rel="noopener">oils</a> exist online that claim to contain fragrant pheromones, but the truth is, these ingredients are most likely just chemicals produced in a factory. From <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/harry-styles-gucci-guccifest-video-campaign-gus-van-sant" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gucci</a>, who claims to have developed fragrances that are formulated with ingredients full of animal pheromones, to Pure Instinct, which claims to balance with your skin's pH to cultivate a personalized scent, the sole purpose of these enticing products is to help you smell divine. <o:p></o:p>

Though pheromone oils and body sprays may not make someone fall in love with you, L&rsquo;OFFICIEL believes it never hurts to invest in yourself, or in a delicious smelling <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/best-fragrances-summer-perfumes-gucci-boy-smells" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fragrance</a>.
