Since my best friend kept mentioning on how good my natural body perfume smells like, I've done a research on pheromones and human body odor.
Previous research has shown that people fall in love from the nose down to the heart(oh, don't get me wrong. I'm not falling in love with anyone and I'm still single.hehe).

The phenomenon of pheromones as a form of communication is too long start trying applied in everyday human life. Especially since it was found that pheromones are also generated glands in the human body. And, importantly, can affect hormones in the body (especially the brain ) more human. The easiest example is the " body odor ".Regardless of the type of foul body odor to make other people away, every human being has a distinctive odor and characterize itself. By experts analogous to that body odor is like a fingerprint . So, we each have a unique smell and very different to other humans.Thus human pheromones produced, in the future it could be one of identity.
Pheromones on humans it also serves as a sexual attraction . The chemists from the Huddinge University Hospital in Sweden even claim that pheromones also has a share in generating feelings of love, a crush, love , sexual desire even a human being at the other man.This they proved when doing research on the reaction of the brain 12 pairs of men and women smell after a synthetic compound similar to the pheromone. The smells immediately react to the hormone estrogen (in women) and testosterone (male).Thus, the human interest in another human being, whether it be a relationship of love , sexual desire , as well as in choosing a friend , also based on the smell of pheromones produced by humans.
As written in the magazine National Geographic Indonesia , edition of February 2006, the results of research Helen Fisher and colleagues, when one looks at the beloved heart, dopamine will stimulate parts of the ventral tegmental and caudate nucleus in the brain lit up. In proper doses, dopamine creates the power, excitement, concentrated attention, as well as a strong incentive to give in return. That is why falling in love can make eating uncomfortable, sleep is not restful.
Other researchers showed that disruption of the body chemistry is evident when one falls in love . For example it was found that the levels of serotonin people ter obsession and his girlfriend 40 percent lower than normal levels of serotonin people.Humans can live in peace until they are older as well as chemical compounds called oxytocin . According to the study, fidelity to couples dealing with high levels of oxytocin. This oxytocin levels can be enhanced by each of the partner who seeks love each other, though sometimes annoying partner.
