Increasing your Pheromones: The Science Nobody's Teaching You
Everyone's dropping $200 on designer perfume.
But here's what they're not telling you: perfume without pheromones is like Instagram without filters. Sure, it's there. But nobody's stopping mid-scroll.
Most people today smell like nothing. Clean. Safe. Sanitized. Like a Marriott bathroom at checkout time.
And you? You're supposed to smell like you. Raw. Magnetic. Specific. Alive.
If you want people to lean in when you walk by—if you want that inexplicable pull that makes someone think about you hours later—you need more than Tom Ford.
You need to unleash your chemical signature. Today you're going to learn how to increase your sex pheromones.
The Biology of Attraction: What Your Body Is Trying to Tell You
Your body is a chemistry lab running 24/7. Not just sweat and skin, but chemical signals—invisible broadcasts of attraction, health, and genetic compatibility.
We're all producing pheromones: chemical compounds that bypass conscious thought and hit straight biology. Think of them as your body's way of texting "hey" without picking up your phone.
The Four Pheromones That Control Human Attraction
Androstadienone: The confidence molecule. Signals dominance and stability.
Estratetraenol: The "come closer" compound. Creates feelings of warmth and trust.
Androstenone: Pure biological dominance in chemical form. Intimidating in high doses, magnetic in the right amounts.
Androstenol: The social trigger. Makes you seem approachable, friendly, worth talking to.
Right now? You're muting all of them.
Every. Single. Day.
How Modern Hygiene Is Killing Your Dating Life
Picture your morning routine:
Hot shower. Antibacterial soap everywhere. Shampoo. Conditioner. Body wash. Shaving cream. Fresh deodorant. Synthetic Cologne or perfume. Clean clothes washed in scented detergent. Fabric softener smell wafting off you.
Congratulations. You just deleted your entire biological profile.
You smell like Target's personal care aisle. Problem is, everyone else smells like Target too.
No wonder dating apps exist. We literally can't smell each other anymore. We've scrubbed away the oldest, most reliable compatibility test in human evolution.
The One-Week Camping Trip That Changed Everything
My friend Sarah never got attention. Good looking. Smart. Funny timing. But somehow... invisible in bars and social situations.
Then she went backpacking through Colorado for a week. No shower facilities. No deodorant. Just hiking, sweating, and living in her skin.
First night back in Denver, she hit a dive bar to celebrate being clean again—except she wasn't that clean yet.
Three guys approached her within an hour. Three.
"I looked terrible," she told me later. "Hair in a messy bun. No makeup. Actual dirt under my nails."
But her natural pheromones? Full volume. Undiluted. Broadcasting on all frequencies.
That night taught her more about attraction than four years of college psychology classes.
How to Naturally Increase Your Pheromone Production: 4 Science-Backed Methods
1. Strategic Exercise and Sweating (The 45-Minute Rule)
Fresh sweat is a pheromone goldmine. Every workout pumps attraction chemicals through your skin and into the air around you.
Then what do most people do? Immediately wash them down the drain.
The new protocol:
- Work out 4-5 times weekly (resistance training and cardio both work)
- Post-workout: towel off, but don't shower immediately
- Wait minimum 45 minutes before hitting the water
- When you do shower: water only on your body, soap just the essentials (armpits, groin)
- Skip shampoo every other day—your scalp produces pheromones too
Sounds gross? Your ancestors conquered entire continents smelling like this. And they had no trouble reproducing.
The workout window creates a 30-60 minute period where your natural scent is at peak potency. Plan social interactions accordingly.
2. Sleep Like Your Sex Life Depends on It (Because It Does)
No sleep = no hormones = no pheromones = no attraction. The math is brutal and simple.
The non-negotiable sleep protocol:
- 7-9 hours every night (not average, not "catching up on weekends")
- Lights out before midnight for optimal testosterone production
- Phone in another room (blue light destroys melatonin)
- Room temperature 65-68°F for deeper sleep stages
- Dark room—blackout curtains or sleep mask
One week of genuine, quality sleep? People will tell you something's different about you. They can't name it. They just feel it. That's your hormones normalizing, which means your pheromones are coming back online.
3. The Pheromone Diet: Foods That Naturally Boost Your Chemical Signature
Some foods contain the exact same compounds found in human pheromones. Not similar. Not "close enough." Exact.
Daily minimums:
Celery (2-3 stalks raw): Contains androstenone and androstenol. Yes, it's boring. Eat it anyway. Raw in salads, as a snack with almond butter, blended in smoothies.
Zinc sources: Oysters (if you can afford them), pumpkin seeds, or a quality supplement. Zinc is the rate-limiting mineral for testosterone production.
Bonus amplifiers:
- Parsnips: Contain compounds that boost androstenol production
- Truffles: If you're rich or can find truffle oil
- Dark chocolate: 70% cacao minimum for improved blood flow
- Fresh figs: Natural testosterone boosters
- Avocados: Support overall hormone production
- Pineapple: Improves natural body sweetness (seriously)
One guy I know ate celery religiously for two weeks straight. "Women started standing closer," he reported. "Like accidentally-touching-me closer. Three separate women commented I smelled good—and I wasn't wearing a pheromone cologne."
Placebo? Maybe. But when multiple people invade your personal space unprompted, something is working.
4. The Strategic Sexual Reset (The 7-Day Power Boost)
Nobody wants to hear this part. But short-term abstinence from sexual activity (including masturbation) creates a measurable pheromone surge.
The science: Day 7 of abstinence shows a 45% spike in testosterone levels. Your body essentially panics, thinking it needs to attract a mate. NOW.
The strategic reset:
- 5-7 day break (longer doesn't increase benefits)
- Time it before important social events or dates
- Observe how people's reactions change
- Use sparingly—it's a boost mechanism, not a lifestyle
This is controversial. But the hormonal data doesn't lie.
What's Actively Destroying Your Natural Scent Right Now
Daily pheromone assassins:
- Antibacterial soap: Kills beneficial skin bacteria that help create your unique scent profile
- Heavy cologne/perfume: Masks your signal entirely
- Daily hair washing: Your scalp produces pheromones that need time to develop
- Scented products everywhere: Deodorant, lotion, laundry detergent all competing with your biology
- Sedentary lifestyle: Sitting 10 hours daily crashes testosterone
- Chronic stress: Cortisol directly blocks sex hormone production
- Excessive alcohol: Metabolizes into estrogen-mimicking compounds
- Poor diet: High-sugar, low-fat diets tank hormone production
The fixes:
- Shower every other day (unless you're genuinely dirty or smelly)
- Switch to unscented everything—deodorant, soap, laundry products
- Let your hair get slightly oily (this is natural and attractive)
- Cotton or natural fiber clothes only (synthetic fabrics trap wrong odors)
- Move your body every hour if you have a desk job
- Find a stress management practice that actually works
- Limit alcohol to 2-3 drinks per week maximum
- Eat adequate healthy fats (20-30% of calories)
When Your Pheromones Are Actually Working (Timing Is Everything)
Your natural scent has a circadian rhythm. Understanding it changes the game:
7 a.m.: Basically dormant. Morning coffee dates are biologically disadvantaged.
3 p.m.: Production ramping up. Afternoon meetings have more chemistry than you think.
7-11 p.m.: PRIME TIME. Evolution optimized humans for evening mating.
Post-workout: 30-60 minute window of peak pheromone broadcasting.
Ovulation (for women): Natural scent becomes 3-5x more attractive to men. This is your nuclear option.
Strategic planning: Schedule first dates at night. Hit the gym 90 minutes before social events. If you're ovulating, this is your moment to shoot your shot. Just don't get pregnant... or do, whatever your goal is, we support your decision.

Most people notice changes by Day 10. By Day 30? You're operating as a different human, chemically speaking.
The Uncomfortable Truth About Modern Dating and Attraction
We've sanitized ourselves right out of our own biology.
Your pheromones aren't just "smell." They're your compatibility broadcasting system—a chemical test that's been running for millions of years.
Right person? They'll unconsciously lean in closer.
Wrong person? They'll maintain distance, even if they look perfect on paper.
This is why some people have "chemistry" and others don't. It's not metaphorical. It's literal chemistry.
Nature has been running this system flawlessly since before we invented language. Maybe it's time to stop fighting it.
Start Tonight: Your Immediate Action Plan
Skip tonight's shower. Just towel off.
Tomorrow, buy celery. Eat it raw.
This weekend, stay sweaty for 45 minutes after your workout.
Watch what happens. Pay attention to who gets closer. Who holds eye contact longer. Who finds excuses to touch your arm during conversation.
Your body already knows what it's doing. Your job is to get out of its way.
The Too-Lazy-to-Read Version (Do This Starting Today)
✓ Eat 2-3 celery stalks daily
✓ Sleep 8 hours every night

Your pheromones are trying to get you laid. Stop blocking them.
Bottom line:
Modern hygiene standards have accidentally turned us all into biological ghosts. These strategies don't make you gross—they make you human again. The kind of human that people remember. The kind they can't quite explain but definitely want to see again.
Start with two changes this week. Build from there. Your chemistry will thank you. This is how you increase your sex pheromones.
If you want to skip all that? Try a Pheromone Perfume from Royal Pheromones. You'll love the extra attention and you don't even have to skip showers. Bye for now!
