Discover the meaning of commonly used terms in the world of pheromone colognes and perfumes.

Navigating the world of pheromones can feel like stepping into a private language. Over the years, dedicated testers and communities developed their own vocabulary to describe effects, application methods, and even social dynamics that arise when using pheromone blends.

This glossary was created to preserve that shared knowledge and make it accessible to anyone exploring pheromones for the first time – or refining their expertise after years of experimentation.

Every definition here draws from real-world testing, field reports, and long-standing community discussions. Whether you’re trying to understand what a “fallout effect” is, why “buffers” matter in blends, or how terms like “projection” and “sillage” cross over from the fragrance world, this page will serve as a useful quick reference for your journey.

By compiling and standardizing these terms, House of Pheromones continues its mission of keeping pheromone knowledge accurate, transparent, and useful for readers worldwide.

Usage, Testing & Community Terms

  • Effet de retombée :
    A profound emotional attachment, fixation, or “crush-like” feelings that develop toward the pheromone wearer after repeated exposure. Often accompanied by possessiveness, jealousy, and longing.
  • Ghosting:
    Occurs when pheromones produce a negative or unintended effect, making the wearer socially ignored or invisible. Typically results from overdosing or improper blend balance.
  • Deer in the Headlights (DIHL):
    An extreme reaction to pheromones, causing individuals to appear mesmerized, frozen, or noticeably confused. This is considered a highly pronounced “hit.”
  • Self-Effects:
    The psychological and emotional effects pheromones have on the wearer, including mood changes, boosted confidence, or altered self-perception.
  • Hits:
    Observable and notable social reactions triggered by pheromone use, such as increased attention, attraction, respect, or conversational openness.
  • Signature:
    The overall perceived impression or social aura created by a specific pheromone blend, such as dominant, approachable, charming, or intimidating.
  • Buffer:
    Pheromone molecules (e.g., alpha-androstenol) included in blends specifically to soften harsh effects, reduce intimidation, or balance overly dominant pheromones.
  • Diffusion:
    The process by which pheromone molecules spread through the air from the wearer, influencing the effective range and strength of their social impact.
  • Cover Scent:
    Fragrances (perfume, cologne, essential oils) applied over pheromone blends to mask their natural odor and enhance diffusion.
  • Dosage:
    The exact amount of pheromones applied to the body, typically measured in sprays, drops, or dabs, affecting intensity and duration of effects.
  • Point of Application (POA):
    Specific body locations (such as the neck, wrists, chest, forearms) chosen for pheromone application to maximize diffusion and effectiveness.
  • Carrier:
    The substance (alcohol, oil, silicone) in which pheromones are suspended. Different carriers impact the rate of diffusion and duration of effects.
  • Burn-In:
    The initial period following pheromone application where molecules blend fully with the wearer’s natural chemistry, stabilizing and optimizing their effects.
  • Resetting:
    Taking deliberate breaks from pheromone use to reduce tolerance, recalibrate social responses, and restore baseline reactions to pheromones.
  • Testing Journal:
    Personal documentation of pheromone experiments, including dosages, combinations used, observed hits, self-effects, and detailed social contexts.

Product & Community Specific Terms

  • Single Molecule:
    Products containing only one pure pheromone molecule, used for precise testing, blending, or creating custom effects.
  • Blend:
    A product combining multiple pheromone molecules formulated to produce specific outcomes, such as enhancing attraction, status, romance, or sociability.
  • Vendor House Names:
    Community-recognized shorthand abbreviations for popular pheromone manufacturers:
    • LAL: Laboratoires d'Alchimie Liquide
    • S1CK: S1CK Jewelry & Pheromones
    • PXS: PheromoneXS
    • PT: Trésors de phéromones

    • TP: Vraies phéromones
    • HAX: HAX Pheromones
  • Pherotruth / Pherotalk:
    Influential, legacy forums that served as community hubs for pheromone enthusiasts. While many original discussion threads and test logs are now lost or defunct, preserved information remains valuable and foundational in pheromone knowledge.
  • Testing Journal: (also listed in usage terms for clarity)
    A personal log or diary maintained by pheromone users documenting experiences, specific effects, personal observations, dosages, blend combinations, and outcomes from real-world social interactions.

General Fragrance Terms

  • Projection:
    The radius or distance at which a fragrance (or pheromone signature) is detectable by others around the wearer.
  • Sillage:
    The “trail” or lingering scent left behind by a fragrance or pheromone blend as the wearer moves through a space.
  • Longevity:
    The duration a fragrance or pheromone blend remains perceptible and effective on the wearer’s skin, influenced by concentration, carrier type, and environmental conditions.
  • Dry-Down:
    The final stage of fragrance development after application, when initial top and middle notes fade, leaving the base notes (and pheromones) as the most prominent and long-lasting elements.
