I wore 'pheromone perfume' for a week to turn myself into a sex goddess

After years of going to the gym and working out in silence, one day, my male kickboxing partner wanted to talk. "What do you do for a living?" the stranger asked. "Do you live by the beach?" And then he told me: "I’ve never boxed with someone who smells so nice!"

I wasn’t wearing a skimpier top than usual, and I hadn’t recently gotten a boob job. The only thing I’d changed was my perfume. For a week, I’d been wearing synthetic pheromones “guaranteed” to make me more attractive to other humans.
