In the two current studies, researchers collected underarm secretions from seven men and women to test further the effects of pheromones. Cutler said a "soup" of aromatic essences was taken from underarm pads worn by the volunteers for 18 to 27 hours a week over a three-month period. Male essence, mixed with alcohol, was applied to the upper lips of six women with abnormal menstrual cycles...
