I know somebody who is (was) doing research into pheromones. Some fascinating facts have turned up regarding pheromone receptors in insects have turned up - like, the insects have dielectric horn antennae which are tuned to specific frequencies of light emitted (reflected?) by species-specific pheromones... In his infinite paranoia this person thinks that Big Brother is going to come up with some scheme for manipulating (shudder, quake) HUMANS via some devious transmission of energies (Probably from satellites, right??) O.K. Cologne sounds good. But what does the stuff DO? I can't think of any smell that distracts me so I "can't keep my thoughts straight" (Did I get that right?) Except maybe cyanide gas. (Damn, I just saw a grammatical spaz in here and I'm too dumb to figure out how to fix it... oh well) ?
