According to research, Androsterone is a pheromone that communicates confidence, stability, and trustworthiness. Unlike Androstenone, which emphasizes overt dominance, Androsterone is often described as a “protector pheromone,” signaling calm strength and reliability [1]. Women exposed to Androsterone may perceive men as more grounded and masculine, while other men often interpret it as a sign of authority without aggression [2]. Research also suggests that Androsterone can enhance cooperation and respect in male-to-male interactions [3]. This pheromone is considered an important factor in balancing social charisma with mature masculine energy, helping the wearer project a trustworthy and composed presence.

Research identifies Androsterone as a pheromone that signals quiet strength, confidence, and protection. Unlike Androstenone, which can sometimes be perceived as overly aggressive, Androsterone projects calm authority and reliability [1]. Men exposed to Androsterone often report feeling more self-assured, while women may perceive wearers as trustworthy, stable, and masculine [2]. Some studies indicate it plays a role in reinforcing respect and cooperation, rather than sparking aggression [3]. Because of these effects, Androsterone is considered an important pheromone for balancing social dominance with approachability, making it a core component of many pheromone formulas.

Pregnenolone is a naturally occurring neurosteroid that plays a crucial role as a “precursor hormone,” influencing the production of testosterone, estrogen, and cortisol [1]. According to the research, it has been linked to mood enhancement, stress reduction, and increased mental clarity [2]. When used in pheromone formulations, Pregnenolone is thought to support a sense of well-being and reduce social anxiety, which can make interactions feel more natural and positive [3]. Some studies suggest that Pregnenolone can improve memory, emotional stability, and resilience to stress, indirectly increasing confidence and approachability [4]. Because of these properties, it is often included in pheromone blends to promote balance, relaxation, and emotional warmth.
