Document Summary
Cia used this to track spies: chiloglois trapeziformis uses wasp pheromones, ophrys exaltata uses bee pheromones, autographa californica overlapping pheromones of buterly & elephants, methyl paraben female dogs in heat secret this. Also a common preservaive: trules grow underground near oak trees. Use a female pig/dog to ind the rare trules because trules produce androstenone which is also produced by male pigs. Axe contains androstenone too: skatole produced by intesinal bacteria. Skatole is in all perfumes but called civetole. Also found in foods like jams, and ice cream as a lavour. Usually people use syntheic musk because real thing is illegal/expensive to get. Humans do not have the vomeronasal organ that animals have to detect pheromones so no. Phenethylamine (found in chocolate) released during romanic love & increases dopamine: efects are similar to cocaine, tobacco & amphetamines. ( feel-good drugs ) Increased dopamine during early stages of love decreases serotonin: serotonin controls mood.
