Potent Pheromones are a superpower where pheromones induce a particular emotion or some form of physical response in another person(s). The typical example would be an intense infatuation with the person, usually a woman, having an effect that would lead to the victim under their control. Other instances involved some other changes in emotions, inducing sleep, or even causing a physical change like creating the feeling of sickness or disorientation.

Anime and Manga
- SPH or Space Pheromones, from ēlDLIVE, are select chemicals released by aliens. These pheromones are used for communication like insects but are more powerful. They can be used to send a signal to a target and can be used as a form of offense. An alien's SPH has a unique scene that can be used for tracking. There is also how it can be augmented by specific equipment to be used in combat. Humans cannot use Space Pheromones unless they are implanted with an SPH organ or used as a host for a Montialien.
Comic Books
- Purple Man, from Marvel Comics, is a Mutate with the power of releasing a pheromone once breathed in or absorbed by the skin will put a person under his control.
- Beast has a minor power where he could attract people of the opposite sex but doesn't seem to use it frequently.
