Dogs, cats, and horses have all been shown to react favorably to pheromone sprays and diffusers. The basis for a pheromone spray is the pheromones that each of these animals naturally produces daily in order to give important information to others of their species. Particularly useful has been the pheromones produced by lactating mothers of these species during the first five days after their babies are born. The mothers naturally produce a pheromone that helps to transition the newborn into a world full of surprises, so that they can remain calm and slowly adjust to the new world.

Types of Sprays and Diffusers

The most development and research on this issue has been put into pheromone sprays and diffusers for dogs, cats and humans, so those are the ones focused on in this article. Diffusers for dog pheromones are the most varied at this point, because those are the first pheromone sprays and diffusers to become popular.

Dog pheromone sprays and diffusers can be bought according to the needs of each dog. The most common is the diffuser that plugs into an outlet in the house. This type of a diffuser emits the spray into the house on a regular basis so that the environment is kept in at a constant pheromone level. This type of diffuser usually lasts about four weeks before needing a re-fill, which is fairly cost effective, as the refills are around twelve dollars. These diffusers are also used in a cat’s environment and cost and work the same way.

Another type of pheromone spray and diffuser that is used for both cats and dogs is a small spray bottle. This type costs about twenty dollars for a sixty ounce bottle, which seems expensive, however, a few squirts of the spray goes a long way. This type of diffuser is handy for when a pet owner needs to take her cat or dog to the vet, so that she can spray the car and the carrier about fifteen minutes beforehand so that the environment is saturated before the pet enters it. That way, the pet continues its feeling of calm established in the home environment, and easily makes the car trip in peace.

For dogs, there is also one other type of pheromone spray and diffuser which comes in a special collar. This collar is perfect for dogs inside or outside the house. This diffuser works the same way the plug in diffuser works, emitting the pheromones on a regular basis. That way the dog is constantly in the calm essence of the pheromones not matter what the environment change or experience.

Pheromones are secreted by the skin or hair of various species of animals or insects and travel through the air to alert other animals or insects of their species of certain information. This information can be about the sex of the animals, their rank in the pack, whether they are in heat, as well as various other types of information. There are also pheromones that have an appeasing affect of the recipient, such as the pheromones of a lactating female dog during the first five days of her puppies’ lives.

The Usefulness of Pheromones

Pheromone sprays have been invented of the last five years to mimic some of these pheromones. Since pheromones are small organic molecules that travel through the air, the recipient of the pheromone inhales the pheromone through the nostrils and the scent is converted to electrical signals that the brain decodes. Scientists have found a way to synthesize some of these pheromones so that they can be used to stimulate sexual attraction, such as in human beings, or they can also be used to stimulate a calm, relaxed feeling, such as in dogs, cats and horses.

Types of Sprays

Today, you can find multiple types of pheromone sprays. Some sprays are diffused into the air through a dispenser that plugs into the wall and emits the spray at regular intervals, much like an air freshener. Other sprays can be taken on the go so that they are handily available in any situation. Still others are loaded into collars so that a dog is never without the soothing pheromone spray. Another type of spray, used mostly by humans, is sprayed directly onto clothing to maximize effect. The spray is mixed with alcohol so that it evaporates quickly without staining the clothing, yet still leaves the potent pheromones behind.

As mentioned above, pheromone spray for animals is normally used to produce a calming effect. For instance, cat pheromone spray is diffused into the cat’s environment to lessen feelings of anxiety or competition with other cats in the same environment, which then reduces the clawing and spraying in the house. Pheromone sprays for dogs and horses are also designed to produce this calming affect, so that events like thunderstorms no longer reduce the animal to a panting, trembling mess.

Pheromone spray for humans is usually produced to stimulate attraction between males and females. Women seem to be able to sense the pheromones more than men are, so the male sex pheromones are more likely to produce the attraction desired by those who purchase the product.

A large percentage of the people purchasing a perfume containing pheromones waste a great deal of the perfume because they do not know how to wear it correctly. The methods used to wear the scent properly will allow the scent to last for much longer while keeping the power of the scent manageable so that you are not running people out of the room with the smell of the perfume. By following a couple of tips, you can make sure that you are wearing the perfume properly and can maximize the value of the added pheromones in the perfume.

Locate Pulse Points

The first tip for applying a perfume that contains a pheromone is to place the perfume on the pulse points of the body. The pulse points include behind the ears, on the sides of the neck, on the insides of the wrists, on the back of the knees, and inside the crook of the elbows. The pulse points are areas where the blood flow is the strongest and near the surface of the skin so the heat of the blood warms the perfume and continues to reactivate the pheromone throughout the day.

Moisturize Your Skin

Another tip that should be remembered when using a pheromone perfume is that the scent will last longer when placed on skin that is moisturized. A lot of people use the perfume containing a pheromone right when they get out of the bath or shower after they have used their favorite body lotion. Some manufacturers create bath and body items with moisturizing properties in the same scent as their perfume containing a pheromone so the scent of the items will complement the scent of the perfume.

The full effect of a perfume containing a pheromone will not be noticeable to others until one hour after the perfume has been applied. The total amount of time that the scent of the perfume will last will depend on the strength of the scent and the ingredients used to create the perfume, but most varieties last for several hours with the pheromone at full strength. If the strength of the scent needs to last throughout the day, the person may decide to purchase a small container of the perfume containing pheromone to be place in their desk or their purse to refresh the perfume during the day. It is important to refresh the perfume containing a pheromone instead of increasing the amount that you put on because using large amounts of the perfume does not lengthen the time the scent will last.

Picking the perfect pheromone perfume can be a hard choice, but deciding on a method for purchasing the perfume can be an important choice as well. There are several different methods for purchasing a pheromone perfume available and each way has its own benefits. Purchasing a great human pheromone perfume can be expensive, so it is important to try and get the best price for the best type of perfume in a minimum amount of time.

Purchasing At Retail Stores

The most common method for purchasing a pheromone perfume is to purchase it from a retail store. These stores typically have a perfume counter located somewhere within the store where a person can try different types of perfume scents from many different manufacturers. Many of these retailers carry the products that have recently been released from well known manufacturers and have perfumes that cover a wide range of prices available for sale. The major disadvantage of purchasing pheromone perfume at a retail store is that purchasing at these locations is generally the most expensive option.

In the last several years, many overstock stores that specialize in the sale of perfumes have opened in different shopping malls and strip malls across the nation. Many of these stores have a wide selection of different pheromone perfume brands from a number of manufacturers. These stores often have the best prices, typically as much as 60% off retail prices, and will only carry brand name items. It may be difficult to find a particular type of pheromone perfume because the brands that these stores carry change on a regular basis depending on which perfumes are overstocked that season.

Purchasing Online

Some people prefer to purchase the pheromone perfume that they like from the online website of the manufacturer of the perfume. By purchasing the pheromone perfume on the internet, the perfume can be shipped directly to the home without hassle of physically shopping for the items. If you know exactly what type of perfume you would like to order this is a good option because you can order the brand that you want in a very short amount of time.

There are a number of discount online retailers that offer brand name pheromone perfume products available on the internet as well. Choosing to purchase a pheromone perfume from these retailers can be chancy because the product may not be as expected and the retailer may make it difficult to return perfume that you do not like. You should only purchase a pheromone perfume from an online store that has an excellent reputation and has an easy to understand return policy.

Choosing a human pheromone perfume scent is not something that should be taken lightly because everyone has a different idea of what scents would smell best on them. Some people favor subtle scents while other people have a preference for scents that are more dramatic. There are thousands of different types of human pheromone perfumes available to select from and choosing the perfect human pheromone perfume will take time and consideration to be sure that you have chosen the right one.

Picking A Price Range

One of the first things that need to be considered is the price range for shopping for the human pheromone perfume. Many people try scents without looking at the price of the perfume and find that the one that they like the most is unaffordable. To avoid disappointment, a person should find the perfumes that are in their price range and only try those scents to find which human pheromone perfume you like the best.

Choosing A Scent

Once the price range for the human pheromone perfume has been determined, it is time to choose the scent of the perfume. There are many different scents available for a pheromone perfume for women, including ones that smell like different types of fruit, earthy or musky varieties, and scents that smell like flowers. If you already know what types of smells you prefer, you can greatly reduce the amount of time needed to try the scents in the store and reduce the frustration of trying to find the right human pheromone perfume for you.

To find the human pheromone perfume that you like the best, you will need to physically smell them and try them on. Most stores have an area where you can try different types of scents by spraying them on paper strips in order to smell them individually without placing them on the body. Smelling many different types of human pheromone perfume can overwhelm the nose so many of these retailers will have some type of scent neutralizer, like a jar of coffee beans, available to clear the nose before smelling a different scent.

Some manufacturers provide a sample of a human pheromone perfume so that a person can try the scent for a couple of days to see if they like it. After wearing the human pheromone perfume for a week, a person is generally able to decide whether they like the scent or not. Choosing a perfume scent is not difficult if you take the time to find what you like, but rushing the decision will generally result in a purchase that you are not happy with.
