Sure pheromones work. Artificial ones can already be made and works very well. If you're a moth. It lets you smell a possible mate from miles away.
No one has found human pheromones yet. At least those that make you attractive to the opposite sex. And not every species has been found to use it. (Note that this is different from saying that some species has been found to not use it).
There is a story based on this by Eugie Foster. But it's only a science fiction story. Anybody selling your perfumes based on this is selling you snake oil.

I concur with dkk on his view on Perfumes which simply claim too much - I would call such initiatives "junk science".No one has found human pheromones yet.

I fail to see how a cheap (or even expensive) perfume/cologne can attract members of the opposite sex/gender when there hasn't been any breakthroughs in medical science or research that artificial pheromones (made by humans for humans) "work."
Furthermore, wouldn't it be SAD if a member of the opposite gender fancied you just because your cologne/perfume induced him or her to like you? Then he or she likes you only when you put your cologne/perfume on. Haha, I think that is rather silly!
