Anyone ever tried using methyl p-hydroxybenzoate as a "perfume"?
1. Scent Detection (Pheromones)
- Pheromones in Urine:
- Female dogs release pheromones in their urine when they are in heat, particularly during the estrus phase (the fertile stage). These pheromones contain chemical signals that male dogs can detect from long distances.
- The pheromone methyl p-hydroxybenzoate is particularly attractive to male dogs.
- Jacobson’s Organ (Vomeronasal Organ):
- Male dogs use this specialized organ located in their nasal cavity to process pheromones. They may exhibit a behavior called the Flehmen response (curling their lips back and lifting their nose) to better analyze the scent.
