About Pheromone Labs: Pioneering Human Pheromones since 2001

We’re the originators of social pheromones — a revolutionary concept that changed the field of human scent science.

As Androtics, we created the foundations of this field. As Pheromone Labs, we’ve expanded far beyond them.

We are bigger, sharper, and more precise — with a wider research scope, stronger infrastructure, and a deeper mission: to map and influence the full spectrum of human chemosensory experience.

Cheesy pheromone companies focus on sexual attraction blends because of the tired notion that "sex sells." We find that boring.

Nonverbal human communication is a vast, rich spectrum. We communicate in countless ways — comforting, social, parental, bonding, alarming, and more. Human beings aren’t one-dimensional.

This is why our company was founded: to elucidate the entire fragrant gamut of the human experience — not just reduce it to sex.

We design simple, powerful products to give you more control over your social outcomes. Spray and go. The rest unfolds naturally.

At the core of our work is the idea of biohacking your scent signature — using advanced chemosignals to help you express who you really are. Whether you're seeking calm, confidence, magnetism, or clarity, scent can become an extension of your identity — aligning your presence with your intent.

Where Do the Pheromones Come From?

We don’t settle for fragrance-grade. We create and source only the highest purity pheromones, and creation comes first. Our pheromonal actives are custom-designed and synthesized by expert chemists in the U.S. and Europe, often working in academic or pharma-grade research settings.

Every batch undergoes HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and TLC (Thin Layer Chromatography) verification. That’s how we ensure purity, identity, and consistency — batch after batch.

Why does this matter?

Because pheromone experiments live and die on purity and predictability. Impure, contaminated, or degraded chemicals introduce unknown variables. These are called congeners — unwanted side-products that can skew results, affect behavior, or cancel out effects entirely.

In experimental design, repeatability is everything. You can’t build trust or meaningful insights on unstable materials. When you run an experiment using our products, you’re working with a research-grade baseline — far and away higher quality than anything available in consumer fragrance or supplement products.

In fact, several landmark studies in chemoreceptive science have used molecules sourced directly from our lab.

That’s why serious experimenters, innovators, and professional users trust our materials above all others.

About the Lab

We don’t outsource anything.

You can’t leave this kind of precision and care to anyone who doesn’t care as much as we do. Every formula comes from our purpose-built, vertically integrated GMP lab that handles everything from synthesis to shipping.

We oversee every step — from molecule to mailbox.

We also introduced the world’s first dosed pheromone systems in 2001 — first made available to bonafide researchers, then released to the public in 2003. Precision dosing was a major leap forward in both user safety and experimental reliability.

What You Might Not Know

Timeline of Innovation and Milestones

  • Late 1990s — Foundational tech developed by Michael Harris in Cambridge-area academic and spin-off settings.

  • 2001 — First release of dosed pheromone systems to bonafide researchers. A radical new framework for dosage-controlled experiments.

  • 2002 — Official founding year of the business.

  • 2003 — Dosed pheromones made publicly available, setting a new industry standard for precision and reliability.

  • 2004 —

    • Launch of our direct-to-consumer model — the first time true research-grade pheromones were made available to the public.

    • Launch of PheromoneTalk, the largest online discussion board dedicated to the power of pheromones. It fostered a casual, community-driven space that combined citizen science with real-world social exploration — getting people off their computers and into the world again.

  • 2005 — First online store opens under the Androtics brand.

  • Early 2000s — We became the first lab to synthesize beta-androstenol, a groundbreaking intimacy and rapport-enhancing chemosignal that’s now legendary in the field.

  • 2010s — Quiet internal expansion of our odorant library.

  • 2021 (Christmas) — After major internal reorganization, A314.com was opened to a highly select group of professionals: law enforcement, researchers, and elite users. This platform serves as an incubator and testing ground for larger-scale projects.

  • Today — We now maintain the largest library of synthetic human and mammalian odorants on the planet— over 600 unique compounds and counting.

  • Planned for the future:

    • Phero.com — For ambitious men seeking influence, control, and high-performance results.

    • Phera.com — For women and femme-identifying individuals looking to align scent with power, grace, or softness on their terms.

    • PheromoneLabs — Our core manufacturing lab and flagship for high-precision researchers and the bleeding edge of chemosensory science.
