The pheromones you are asking about are extracted from various animals ,like pigs, so I don't really understand how they would function for humans. Pheromones are chemicals released by the body.
In most animals pheromones are important signals for reproductive behaviors, and they may also be used to mark territories, identify individuals, and indicate aggression or submission. Although systems of pheromones are well developed in many animals, their importance to humans is not clear.
There is one researcher that I know of named Martha McClintock. She mainly studies the pheromones found in human females that are associated with menstrual synchrony and suppression. The theme of her research is behavioral regulation of fertility and how social interactions (pheromones) can affect neural and endocrine function.
I don't think that there are any human pheromones on the market, only those of animals. In addition, each person has their own unique chemosensory communication, and pheromones are said to be odorless.
I hope this helps answer your question. Try reading up on Martha McClintock for a more in depth understanding about human pheromones.

Yes, they do. Pheromones are released through the sweat glands and carried through hair. In women, we (most of us) shave, so the pheromones aren't present. Perfumes like Pure Instinct bring out these scents. It's really an amazing product and smells different on everyone.

Yes they do. Every person has their own pheromone and it is that unique pheromone that attracts the opposite sex to ones self. Everyone is different and finding the exact pheromone that attracts lets say a female to a male is thought to be "perfect chemistry" between 2 people.

I believe they work. I got some at a bachlorette party. I put some on the other day for fun and then went to the laundry mat to do laundry. I also should mention that I was not looking my best. No make up, just shorts, a t-shirt, and flip-flops. Three or four guys came over to talk to me and one asked for my number. That is just one of many times they have worked for me.

They've been working for animals and insects for millions of years.
They don't work as well for humans, however, because our noses are no longer as sensitive as they once were.
