Storyteller, Judith Black has a new act tackling the concept of menopause, beauty and age.  In an article in the Salem News on 11 March 2009 , she is quoted as saying, ”Women go through menopause, and there is this change. You are no longer pheromone-scented. People treat you differently, and I don’t think we’re prepared for that.”  

I have to say I thought of wrinkles, I thought of jowls, I thought of overall weight gain but scent?  It never occurred to me that I would lose my “scent”.  Why?  Because I never really thought about having one.  Sure I’ve read about the science of sexual attraction but when I think scent, I think perfume. 

Apparently her show pokes some fun at the “Sexy at 60″ society rife in the western world.  But instead of converting us to accept life as we know it,  it may well trigger market demand for Menopause Pheromone Spray.  And having amused myself by that thought I googled “menopause pheromone spray” and found an article in New Scientist dated 2005 about “Sex pheromone spray boosts senior romance ” which revealed Dr. Winnifred Cutler invented just such a spray but won’t say what’s in it because its a trade secret.

There’s  been a fair bit of controversy about  Dr. Culter and  her formula relating to whether a spray can replicate natural phermones.  Interestingly, Dr. Cutler has written a book on the subject Hormones and Your Health: The Smart Woman’s Guide to Hormonal and Alternative Therapies for Menopause due to release in April 2009.  

If you are looking for the spray, there are quite a few out there.
