I’ve read a lot about optimal “placement” of [pheromones](https://pheromonelabs.com/shop/), and I’ve found for myself that Shine works best behind my ears. A lot has been said about various points on the body that generate more heat, which leads to better dispersal.

Where exactly do our natural pheromones come from? Are they exuded with our sweat from all over our body, or are there certain pheromones that come from certain areas of the body?

Pheromones are basically hormones. Inside your body they are called hormones and outside your body they are called pheromones. Pheromones send chemical signals through the olfactory system. Hormones send signals through ducts or the blood stream to other cells in the body.

So mones come from testosterone and estrogen and other androgen’s that we make naturally.

They are found in all bodily secretions and yes some concentrate more in certain areas but not always.

To be a hair more specific, androstenone and androsterone are both produced by metabolizing testosterone; it happens in the liver. They are eventually circulated and released in sweat.
