Hey, pretty people!
The world of fragrances is vaste and mysterious, and it keeps getting better. New and unique perfumes pop up on the market at a steady pace, and it’s almost impossible to keep track of them.
With a constant rise in demand, new formulas never struggle to keep up with the iconic names – but there are certain scents that just have that je-ne-sais-quoi.
In this post, we’re going to talk about 6 scents that make you more attractive – according to science. Pretty cool, huh?
Keep reading to find out if your signature fragrance has some of these notes in it!
BEFORE WE START
It wouldn’t really be a Gigi article if I didn’t put out a little disclaimer, would it?
This selection of scents isn’t compiled in any particular order – but I did start off with the “less alluring” scents, leaving the most loved ones at the end. Again, make sure to remember that the order isn’t factual – more of a general-data-inspired one.
VETIVER
This is a fairly common (and liked) note in the world of fragrances, and it’s present in quite a few formulas.
Vetiver is classified as a woodsy and musky note, and it’s often present in men’s perfumes. According to this compelling article by British Vogue, many women (and men as well, apparently!) find this scent quite the attractive one!
A few of the most alluring Vetiver fragrances include:
- Aqua Allegoria Nerolia Vetiver by Guerlain;
- Sycomore by Chanel;
- Terre d’Hermès by Hermès (my mom has kept buying this for my dad for the past 29 years – take that as you will);
- Vetyverio by Diptyque;
- Original Vetiver by Creed.
FRUIT-Y SCENTS
Now, if you naturally enjoy fruity scents and wear them frequently, I have news for you: people already see you as even more attractive than you naturally are!
In this incredibly interesting article by Women’s Health, we have an interesting insight provided by Dr. Avery Gilbert, Ph.D., who asserts that fruity notes are “disarming but attractive“. This statement is further corroborated by Dr. Alan Hirsch, who claims that “edible odors tend to increase male arousal“.
A few of the most alluring fruity fragrances include:
- Bitter Peach by Tom Ford (I have been thinking of this fragrance ever since I first tried it);
- Blackberry & Bay by Jo Malone (my dad loves when my mom wears this!);
- Mon Paris by Yves Saint Laurent;
- Neroli Portofino Acqua by Tom Ford;
- Under The Lemon Trees by Replica.
LILY OF THE VALLEY
Now, a lot of things have been said about Lily of the Valley – with very little fact swimming among many lab-fabricated rumors.
One thing that is for certain, however, is that this scent is particularly liked by men because of how light it is. Dr. Alan Hirsch (we have examined a tiny bit of one of his studies before) has researched this topic for years, and you can read a bit of his fascinating journey in this article.
A few of the most alluring Lily-of-the-valley fragrances include:
- Diorissimo by Dior;
- Inflorescence by Byredo;
- Acqua di Parma Lily of the Valley by Acqua di Parma;
- Pur Muguet by Cartier;
- Springtime in a Park by Replica.
ROSE
This is a tale as old as time! Roses have been associated with love, romance and desire (almost) since the beginning of time, so it’s no wonder that this wonderful scent has a place on this list.
I have found this charming article about roses and aromatherapy, and I wholeheartedly suggest you to take a look at it. You definitely won’t regret it!
A few of the most alluring rose perfumes include:
- Atomic Rose by Initio Parfums Prive;
- Intense Café by Montale;
- WINDOW2SOUL by Orebella;
- Oudgasm Rose Oud by Kayali;
- Delina by Parfums de Marly.
MUSK
As we’re nearing the very end of this peculiar article, the scents are getting more and more obvious – hence why Musk is here!
Musk is often associated with pheromones, since it comes from the glands of animals, but it is not a pheromone itself. However, a few theories claim that this scent has a strong effect on women, since it’s quite a primal scent that can remind them of intimacy.
A few of the most alluring musk perfumes include:
- Pure Musc For Her by Narciso Rodriguez;
- Choco Musk by Al Rehab;
- Musk to Musk by Montale;
- Aoud Musk by Montale;
- Rouat Al Musk by Lattafa.
VANILLA
I know you have been waiting patiently to get to this point, and you knew exactly I was going to tell you that Vanilla is the sexiest scent. So here it is!
Like we mentioned before, edible scents can make you appear more attractive – and Vanilla definitely fits the bill. Recognized as a natural aphrodisiac, this scent is often found in many fragrances, as it can be perceived as comforting and cozy.
A few of the most alluring vanilla perfumes include:
- Vanilla 28 by Kayali (it’s so, so good!);
- Vanilla Sex by Tom Ford;
- Vanille Antique by Byredo;
- Vanille Fatale by Tom Ford;
- Vanilla Vibes by Juliette Has A Gun.
