That's what I hope the science does; help focus on reality. Chemicals in cosmetic products can make us look good, whether they are topically applied as 'make-up' or added to fragrance products that capture the essence of looking good: the hormone metabolism to pheromones that gives us the scent of reproductive fitness.

Thanks. At one point, I think the analogy was part of the Wikipedia entry on pheromones.

Thanks, it's always nice to hear I have fans. I'm currently doing battle on the evolutionary psychology group with some antagonists who don't understand enough about biology to integrate Science and Creation as I did in my book chapter The Mind's Eyes: Human pheromones, neuroscience, and male sexual preferences
The biggest problem there is the unwillingness to learn anything about what most people here already know about the sense of smell. All of the discussants seem to otherwise be of normal intelligence. But they have no clear concept of the central role that olfactory/pheromonal input plays in the development of behavior.
They would rather argue that color vision is more important to food choice than is the food's chemical appeal. Then they extend that argument to one for color vision being more important to sexual preferences than are chemical cues/social odors/pheromones.
We then discuss non-existent "mental modules" for perception of cues important to individual survival (e.g., nutrition) and species survival (e.g., sexual reproduction) as if olfactory/pheromonal cues could simply be dismissed in humans, because we are so intelligent. The intelligence is not demonstrated by many of the discussants who think visual cues and mental modules are more important to human behavior than are olfactory/pheromonal cues.
