This trope is when [[Love Is in The Air]] is caused by the presence of an alien or fantastic creature, and works like a more passive version of [[Aliens Made Them Do It]]. It's generally a first-season ploy by sci-fi shows to get ratings through sex. Can also be [[Fan Service]]. For the single-target version, see [[Pornomancer]].

{{quote| There is, for some unfathomed reason, something almost unbearably sexy about having huge fire-breathing magical dragons flying low about the sky on moonlit nights which were already dangerously on the sweet and fragrant side... No sooner would a flock of half a dozen silk-winged leather-bodied Fuolornis Fire Dragons heave into sight across the evening horizon that half the people of Brequinda were scurrying off into the woods with the other half, there to spend a busy breathless night together and emerge with the first rays of dawn all smiling and happy and still claiming, rather endearingly, to be virgins, if rather flushed and sticky virgins. Pheromones, some researchers said. Something sonic, others claimed.}}
* There are a few examples in the [[Star Wars Expanded Universe]]. ''[[Marvel Star Wars]]'' introduced Zeltrons, redskinned near-humans who had pheromones, emotion-affecting abilities, and attraction to Force-Sensitives. ''[[Shadows of the Empire]]'' introduced Falleen, reptilian humanoids with much more powerful "date-rape" pheromones.

* In the ''[[Stargate SG-1]]'' episode "Hathor", a Goa'uld who has taken over the role of the Egyptian goddess of [[Sex, Drugs and Rock And Roll|Fertility, Music, and Inebriation]] finds her way into SG-1's base and turns every man there into crush-addled slave via [[Love Is in The Air|some unknown brew of pheromones and other stuff]] before using [[Cunning Linguist|Daniel]]'s DNA (and by "using Daniel's DNA," we mean "making him have sex with her while under her mind control gas," and no, it [[Rape Is Ok When It Is Female On Male|wasn't okay]].) to father her children.
** A brand of the stuff that skips the romance part is used in later Goa'uld's arsenals. One whiff is apparently enough to brainwash someone indefinitely until it can be counteracted.
* On ''[[True Blood]]'', Maryann has this effect on everyone around her. {{spoiler|She's a maenad, a follower of Dionysus, and almost a god in her own right.}} She uses the orgies she creates around her to disguise her real intention: {{spoiler|bringing Dionysus into physical form}}.
