The article at the following URL may be far too technical for most people to understand. www2.hu-berlin.de/sexology/BIB/kohl.htm
It is, however, the definitive text for showing that humans, like all other species on the planet that sexually reproduce, produce and respond to pheromones. At the time of it's publication, this journal article/book chapter was tempered with caveats because no human pheromones had yet been shown to affect human behavior. The article won an award:
James V. Kohl received the Ira and Harriet Reiss Theory Award for 2007 from the Foundation for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (FSSS). The award is given annually for the best social science article, chapter, or book published in the previous year in which theoretical explanations of human sexual attitudes and behaviors are developed. "The Mind's Eyes: Human Pheromones, Neuroscience, and Male Sexual Preferences" was published in the Journal of Psychology & Human Sexuality, 18(4): 313-369, and concurrently published as a book chapter in the "Handbook of the Evolution of Human Sexuality." In conjunction with the award, Kohl was an invited plenary session speaker at the annual meeting of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS) in November, 2007, which was held in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Beginning in 2007, my colleagues and I have presented results from a series of studies that show human pheromones affect flirtatious behavior in women and increase their self-reported level of attraction. If our results are independently replicated we will publish in a peer-reviewed journal.

Are pheromones good?
Pheromones can play a role in communication and social interaction among some species, helping to convey messages and signals. In humans, there is ongoing research on the role of pheromones in attraction and reproductive behavior. However, the efficacy and impact of pheromones on human behavior are still subjects of debate and further study.
