Pheromones have been researched. Let's start by saying that research is inconclusive on their effects on humans since unlike regular animals, we don't have the same receptors that they do. But some evidence shows that pheromones do impact humans (such as the response we have to "baby smell" making us want to take care of them)

So let's go in under the assumption that they work.

First, they already exist commercially and you can buy the actual molecules and mix your own or buy pre-made perfumes/colognes.

Pheromones are not magic. They are not a love potion that will magically make people instantly want sex with you. Excessive use of them can actually have the opposite effect. Pheromones trigger a response in the body, and there are limitations of the body. (e.g. a man subjected to female pheromones can still only create so much testosterone to increase arousal)

Not all pheromones are love/sex related. Some also have calming effects, help your focus/determination, or just improve your mood so you feel happier.

Also realize that you can't wear pheromones without having the effect on yourself as well, and potentially stronger since you will constantly be smelling it coming right off your body.

In a nutshell - assuming that they even effect humans in the same way, pheromones aren't going to be something that you throw on and suddenly people are throwing themselves at you, and magnifying the effect (adding more molecules) isn't going to change things (if anything it would probably make them feel sick). If you put it on, its going to hit you first and heaviest.

It is not going to be some Rick potion #9 situation where you wear it out and everyone wants to have sex with you
