From the Paper:

"Pheromone research has been done across several species. Pheromones are chemicals that drive reproduction behavior within many species. Research in recent decades has shown that human beings are no exception. Pheromones are social-environmental chemical stimuli that are produced by one individual and detected by another individual of the same species (Kohl, 1996). In most circumstances, this pheromone communication leads to physiological and behavioral changes, affecting both individuals involved. Pheromones elicit their influence on an animal whether or not an animal is conscious of its involvement, and likewise, may not be aware if they are compelled to respond."
