Summary: The Invisible Dimension of Human Attraction.
Comment: Just because you can't see or consciously sense that something is there doesn't mean it isn't. This book is an eye-opening presentation on how pheromones can influence our moods, emotions, and desires. Although we normally associate pheromones with animals and insects, it is also simply a part of being human. Scientific experiments recounted within validate the effectiveness of the power of pheromones, and even the existence of a mysterious human organ -- the vomeronasal organ (VNO) -- which senses the pheromones that influence our behaviour. The other thing I like about Michelle Kodis' book is it shows a rich historical connection illustrating that humankind has always suspected that there was another sense beyond our well accepted five senses that influence human attraction. There is definitely something to this concept of 'chemical communication.'

Summary: Misleading representation with few facts
Comment: Kodis and her colleagues appear to have borrowed heavily from "The Scent of Eros," without either mentioning or citing the first book to focus on the topic of human pheromones. For example, they offer a possible link between pheromones and homosexuality as an original deduction that is supposedly based on information from several different reference sources. However, this link was first detailed in "The Scent of Eros." In addition, the subtitle of "Love Scents" is misleading. I expected more information about "How Your Natural Pheromones Influence..." Instead, there is very little information about how pheromones do anything. This book is filled with speculation and questions. For example: "Could it be that the friendly attitude of southerners has something to do with their pheromones...?" Questions like this are typically offered in a factual context, but the questions are left unanswered. This leaves the reader without facts. From a scientific perspective, there is evidence of confusion. Specifically, GnRH and LHRH are mentioned in different chapters, and LHRH appears in the glossary. GnRH and LHRH are different names for the same hormone--a fact that anyone who is familiar with the basics of pheromonal communication should recognize. This leads me to wonder about how familiar the authors' are with the scientific aspects of their topic.
