Plausible but highly unlikely.
In humans, the vomeronasal organ (used to detect pheromones) first appears during fetal development. Strangely, it then shrinks to almost nothing by the time of birth. Nobody knows why, but i would connect it with the fact that we're human beings and are far more demanding when it comes to finding a mate.
If a smell was all it took, then natural selection would be no more.
Ugly people aren't meant to mate with good looking people. Infact, speaking from an evolutionary stand point, ugly people shouldn't mate at all.
The VNO is small in humans, but i cannot deny that its there. Which also means i cannot deny the possibilities of it having some functions when it comes to pheromones. However, there have been plenty of tests on the matter and no real conclusion has ever been found. Sure, there's loads of perfume companies who claim to have love in a bottle, but its all bull shit.
Perfume/pheromones alone will not get you a partner. We are far to selective for that. It might have a very small saying in the matter, but other things such as looks, intelligence, and personality counts for alot more.
