In addition to the direct chemical effect of pheros and EOs, I have no doubt that our respones to smells are conditioned by experience. I keep being drawn back to the thread [Vanilla Essential Oil Extract](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/vanilla-essential-oil-extract/3193). In addtion to the comfort/aphrodisiac effects of vanilla, they talked about the effect of common aromas like coffee. There was even a statement about a study where pumpkin pie smell caused erections in men. I’d need to see the data on that one. Nevertheless, i still have no doubt that our respnses are conditioned by experience. Diesel fuel has a strong and pervasive hydrocarbon oder. You can almost smell the dinosaurs rotting. Most people find it repulsive, but not everyone. During her childhood my wife’s father worked on the railroad. He was away for days at a time and he smelled like diesel fuel when he came home. When i came home with the scent of diesel it definitely got a ‘Daddy’s home’ response. Hugs and kisses. Banging around the pots and pans. It was good. No diesel, it was ‘nice to see, I’m glad your here because I need you to…’. I think it is even possible that there is some conditioned connection to lives past. --- _[View the full topic](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/colonges-effects/18902)._
