This colognes revives the lost art of natural seduction. Many of these carefully sourced, rare ancestral ingredients were prized for their ability to ignite desire, heighten chemistry, and awaken the senses in ancient times. Primal Roots Colognes utilize ingredients neglected by modern perfumery... along with some aphrodisiac botanical ingredients whose seductive properties have recently been studied and discovered, that have never previously been used in perfumery at all.
Unlike synthetic fragrances and lab created pheromone colognes, Primal Root Colognes utilizes bioactive botanicals containing natural pheromones and molecular compounds that interact directly with female scent receptors. The result is a primal connection — subtle, instinctive, and impossible to ignore. Every drop is infused with the wisdom of nature’s most potent aphrodisiacs — herbs once reserved for kings, shamans, and lovers who understood the science of attraction long before laboratories did.
WHAT'S IN OUR CORE FORMULA?
PASTINACA UMBROSA ROOT
One of the key ingredients in the formula is Pastinaca Umbrosa root, which is rich in natural pheromones Androstenone and Androstenol. These pheromones share the same chemical structure as those produced by human males to attract females. Since men only naturally produce small amounts of these pheromones, wearing Pastinaca Umbrosa root is like having 70 times more pheromone secretion, significantly enhancing your perceived attraction to women.
............................................
DONG QUAI
Another seductive ingredient in the formula is herb Dong Quai. Dong Quai contains molecules that are very similar in chemical structure to the male pheromone Androstadienone -- A component of male sweat that is linked to improving a females mood and inciting a sexual response from her. Its natural fragrance that lingers in the memory long after the moment has passed, like a forbidden dream you can’t quite forget. It’s the scent of power—subtle, ancient, and irresistible.
In the opulent courts of ancient China, Dong Quai was a cherished ingredient in incense designed to captivate and seduce. It was said to have the power to awaken hidden desires and to draw lovers closer with an intoxicating aroma that lingered long after the initial encounter. In ancient times it was added to incense during royal wedding rituals, to create an atmosphere of intimate allure, setting the stage for romance and to ignite passion in brides.
Dong Quai is an ingredient that has been very much neglected by the modern designer perfumers (mostly because very few have knowledge about it's effectiveness and ancient uses), Dong Quai was used in ancient China to evoke the more primal aspects of attraction. It was believed to enhance qi, the life force, and in doing so, harmonize the body’s energies—awakening a magnetic pull between the sexes. In this way, Dong Quai was often used to foster an irresistible connection, invoking not just physical attraction but a deeper emotional bond.
In Japan, Dong Quai—known as Tōki—was similarly cherished was employed in elaborate love rituals, where its aroma was infused into the air with incense to enhance romance and attraction. It was considered the ultimate tool for cultivating intimacy, awakening desires that simmered beneath the surface.

OPOPONAX
Opoponax is a rare and resinous treasure that has captivated perfumers and mystics for centuries. Sourced from the arid regions of East Africa, its warm, balsamic, and slightly sweet aroma was prized in ancient rituals, love potions, and sacred incense ceremonies. Historically, Opoponax was considered a secret of attraction, used to heighten allure, deepen intimacy, and create an aura of magnetic presence.
It is particularly special because it carries pheromone-like qualities. While not a literal human pheromone, its rich, animalic, and slightly ambery profile produces a subtle, subconscious pull, reminiscent of the magnetic effect of male pheromones like androstenone. In ceremonial use, Opoponax was burned in incense or infused into oils to draw attention and evoke desire, creating an invisible aura that made the wearer more captivating and enigmatic.
............................................
GRAINS OF PARADISE
Long before modern perfumery, Grains of Paradise (AKA. Paradise Seeds) were treasured as rare, exotic seeds said to ignite the senses. Native to the coastal regions of West Africa, these small reddish-brown seeds from the ginger family were traded along ancient spice routes to North Africa, the Middle East, and medieval Europe, where they became known as “Paradise Seeds” — a name meant to capture both their mysterious origin and their almost intoxicating heat.
In West African traditions, these seeds held ceremonial and sensual significance, often chewed to stimulate warmth and vitality before social or romantic encounters. Their tingling, peppery aroma was believed to awaken the body’s fire — making them a favored spice in intimate feasts and love rituals. Historical Arabic medical texts also describe Grains of Paradise as warming, stimulating, and aphrodisiac, prized for their ability to quicken circulation and stir passion. By the 13th and 14th centuries, they were a luxury commodity in Europe, often added to wines, perfumes, and incense to create an exotic, alluring atmosphere. Paradise Seeds add a spiced, magnetic quality that seems to radiate warmth — a nod to centuries-old rituals of attraction and the spice that once traveled from Africa to royal courts as a secret spark of desire.

TAGAR ROOT
High in the Himalayan foothills, Tagar Root (Valeriana wallichii) has long been considered a sacred herb of attraction and sensual magnetism. In ancient India and Tibet, it was central to tantric and ritual practices aimed at harmonizing energies between lovers and opening the senses to intimacy. Priests and mystics would burn Tagar Root in sacred fires or incense burners during ceremonies, believing its earthy, musky, animalic aroma could awaken desire and amplify the natural allure of those present.
Beyond the temples, Tagar was woven into ritual baths and anointing oils, where the root was steeped or ground into fragrant pastes. Couples and devotees would immerse themselves in these scented waters, creating an environment charged with magnetic sensual energy. The scent, lingering on the skin, was believed to draw attention and subtly invite closeness, acting as a pheromone-like signal that enhanced personal magnetism without being overt.
Tagar Root also traveled along ancient trade routes to Persia, the Middle East, and beyond, where it became part of romantic incense and perfumed sachets used in private chambers. In these rituals, its aroma was paired with resins, woods, and warming spices, creating a subtle yet powerful sensory experience that engaged the body and mind, aligning energies and enhancing intimacy.
Today, when Tagar Root is used in a modern cologne, it evokes the ancient ritual of attraction — its earthy, musky warmth lingering close to the skin, pulling attention in a way that feels primal, intimate, and magnetic. It is a fragrance that carries centuries of ritualistic allure, drawing others in as if by invisible currents, whispering the secrets of ancient seduction.
............................................
CIVET
Civet has been called the king of aphrodisiac musks. Originally derived from the glands of the civet cat, this rare and exotic musk was prized across the Middle East, India, and Europe for its powerful, lingering aroma — a scent that is warm, musky, slightly fecal, and intensely human in its pheromone-like effect. Historically, civet was considered an aphrodisiac, capable of enhancing attraction and personal magnetism, especially in intimate or ceremonial settings.
Ancient perfumers and royalty incorporated civet into attars, unguents, and incense, believing that its deep, animalic aroma could draw others close, influence moods, and stimulate desire. Its scent is unique in that it clings to the skin and evolves over hours, creating a magnetic aura around the wearer — a true natural “pheromone” in its olfactory impact.
Modern perfumery often uses synthetic civet or plant-derived macrocyclic ketones (like those from ambrette seeds) to mimic the aroma of natural civet. These alternatives capture the same pheromone-like, intimate qualities without the ethical or practical issues of harvesting from animals. The result is a fragrance that feels primal, magnetic, and seductive, giving a wearer the invisible pull historically associated with civet — a subtle, instinctual allure that resonates on a subconscious level.
Civet provides a warm, skin-close base that enhances other notes while remaining unmistakably sensual. It’s the scent of primal attraction, a connection to centuries of perfumery and ritual, and a way to evoke magnetism and desire in a modern, luxurious context.
For thousands of years, Calamus Root, also known as sweet flag, has been revered across Asia, the Middle East, and Europe for its earthy, spicy, and subtly sweet aroma. In ancient India, Persia, and China, Calamus was incorporated into perfumes, incense, and ritual baths, often associated with love, sensuality, and personal magnetism. Its rooty fragrance was believed to stimulate vitality and attraction, making it a prized ingredient in aphrodisiac formulas and ceremonial blends.
It is an extremely rare to find in modern designer perfumes due to it's expensive cost.

CALAMUS ROOT
Calamus Root was used in temple rituals, romantic incense, and scented sachets designed to heighten presence and allure. Its aroma is warm, woody, and slightly exotic, lingering close to the skin in a way reminiscent of natural pheromones. Ancient texts describe Calamus as enhancing charisma and drawing attention, aligning energies between lovers, and creating an invisible aura of attraction.
European alchemists and perfumers later discovered Calamus during the spice trade, valuing it as a plant-based alternative to animalic musks. Its macrocyclic ketone-like components give it a subtle, magnetic quality — a fragrance that can invite intimacy and attention without overwhelming the senses. In modern perfumery, Calamus Root functions as a pheromone-like base note, providing depth, warmth, and an earthy sensuality that naturally enhances the wearer’s presence.
In a contemporary men’s cologne, Calamus Root is more than a fragrance — it is an ancient aphrodisiac reborn, creating a magnetic, skin-close trail that evokes mystical attraction and primal allure, making it perfect for a scent designed to subtly captivate and draw women in.

LAOS ROOT
Laos Root, a rare and aromatic root from Southeast Asia, has been prized for centuries for its spicy, warm, and slightly sweet aroma. In ancient times Laos Root was revered as an aphrodisiac — an exotic, fiery botanical once treasured by kings for its power to ignite passion and attraction. Its warm, spicy aroma carries an almost magnetic quality, awakening the senses and stirring primal chemistry between man and woman. In ancient Eastern traditions, Laos Root was believed to “heat the blood” of a female upon the scent being inhaled and heighten her desire... a secret elixir for seduction. In this cologne, its essence works beneath the surface—its natural compounds mimicking pheromonal signals that captivate and draw women in, evoking instinctive attraction through a scent both mysterious and undeniably seductive. It is a root note that hints at hidden desires, clinging closely to the skin while amplifying charisma and presence.
............................................
DAMIANA
For centuries, Damiana, a wild aromatic herb native to Mexico and Central America, has been celebrated as a natural aphrodisiac and secret of attraction. Revered by the Aztecs and later incorporated into herbal rituals across the Americas and Europe, Damiana was used in infused oils, and love elixirs to enhance sensuality, charm, and intimacy. Its small, fragrant leaves release a warm, green-spicy, slightly floral aroma that lingers close to the skin, creating an aura of invisible magnetism.
What makes Damiana extraordinary is the way its chemistry mimics pheromone-like effects. Damiana contains volatile compounds that create a subtle, subconscious pull — a magnetic trail that can influence attraction in ways akin to male pheromones like androstenone, heightening allure without overt sweetness. Historically, lovers would carry Damiana in ceremonial sachets to draw attention, inspire desire, and amplify personal charisma.
Rare and mystical, Damiana has long been a hidden secret of seduction, known to few but coveted for its power.

NIGELLA DAMASCENA
Nigella damascena, commonly called “Love-in-a-Mist,” has enchanted herbalists for centuries with its delicate blooms and potent seeds. Beyond its beauty, the seeds have a rich, spicy, and slightly warm aroma. Historically, they were associated with love, attraction, and romantic charm, earning their evocative nickname.
Chemically, Nigella seeds contain compounds structurally similar to male pheromones, including analogs of androstenone-like molecules.
