Not entirely true.
The only pheromones that have been proven to have a single effect on mankind is a female only pheromone that allows women in social groups to have their periods all at the same time, or very close times.
Girls who've lived in dorms or homes together and often socialize together often notice this, where they will all have their periods during a close time to eachother.

As far as smell goes, smell is one of the oldest senses ever. And as previously stated, smell goes straight to the brain and it has some of the most powerful effects on memory recall.
My ex-g/f often wore coolwater by Davidauff. When a gal who sits behind me wears Davidauff i am instantly reminded of laying in bed with my ex-g/f.
Its for this reason as well, that giving a rose to someone whom you are truly in love with will allow them to remember all their moments of love every time you give them a rose to smell.
Your limbic system of smell is a powerful thing, and in knowing a girls favorite scent can really provoke you to "win" her heart.
