Welcome Shukuchi,

To answer your question, I don’t think it’s any less ethical than cosmetics, sales/dating techniques. Pheromones can in no way coerce someone to act against their will, they can only enhance or amplify what is already present.

If [social pheromones](https://a314.com/product-category/social-pheromones/) are used, the person(s) targeted will open up to you but they won’t perform out of character. An easy example: if you’re selling strawberries and you’re using a sure-fire combo that gets people talk to you and usually leads to sales, you might get a lengthy conversation with a customer who is allergic to them but the person won’t buy strawberries all the same.  
If you hadn’t been using pheromones, they’d have perhaps not stopped by for a chat but their usual behaviour of “avoid strawberries, they’re dangerous for me” won’t have changed.

You might want to check out this thread [What pheromones can and can't do: realistic expectations for newcomers](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/what-pheromones-can-do-and-what-they-cant-updated/9558) for a more in-depth exposure of what I mean.
