Are there sexual fragrances? Those that are able to kindle passion in any man, regardless of the appearance and age of their “bearer”. Or is it not the aroma that makes a woman sexy, but vice versa?
The dream to find a scent that awakens passion is as strong as the desire to get a cream that gives eternal youth. How could it be otherwise, if aroma is one of the instruments of seduction. And although from the point of view of animals, human noses are useless, since they cannot distinguish even a hundredth part of smells, we have learned to compensate for this shortcoming with the help of perfumery.
When choosing perfume, a woman thinks about whether they will interest her partner. Unlike eyes and ears, which read only what is happening in the present, men’s noses are able to pick up exciting notes in the air for a long time.
True, adherents of the theory of pheromones will have to be disappointed. Scientists have proven the presence and, most importantly, the effectiveness of these substances in animals, but have not confirmed the theory for humans. Yes, something like a vomeronasal organ has been found in our noses, in animals it is responsible for the perception of pheromones. But, alas, its activity in humans is still in question.
Nevertheless, erotic notes exist. Aesthetics is alien to human passion, and most of all we are excited by primitive smells – animals and food. In their pure form, they are sharp: the former remind of the uncleaned cages of the zoo, the latter – of the oriental bazaar. But who is talking about straightness?
A homeopathic dose is enough for our subconscious mind to trigger a cascade of reactions. A meager concentration of sexy notes in the perfume blends organically with the smell of the body, enhancing the eroticism. But if the effectiveness of animal smells on libido is quite logical, why are men turned on by culinary notes?
This question must be asked of evolution. When a person began to walk on two legs, vision became the main role in the knowledge of the world, and the sense of smell was aimed at obtaining food. Since then, we have been acutely sensitive to edible flavors.
Musical notation
The list of perfume erotomaniacs is headed by sensual carnal notes. The indisputable authority is musk, which emphasizes and enhances the smell of the skin. It is followed by sensual amber, spicy cumin, earthy patchouli and mysterious myrrh. Sexual appetite will be stimulated by spices: vanilla, cloves, ginger, cinnamon.
More difficult with flowers. There is a lot of tenderness in their notes, but not enough eroticism. To make the heavenly bouquet sexier, it is supplemented with proven ingredients: rose with musk, violet with patchouli, and so on.
The most sensual among the flowers are white – orange blossom, tuberose, gardenia and jasmine. They are united by a common secret – indole, the most carnal component of plant odors. And yet the fragrance itself has no sexual power. It all depends on the one who wears it and the one who hears it.
Biology lessons
The sense of smell is a completely earthly feeling, studied and decomposed into components. Smell is just a phenomenon of the meeting of volatile molecules with the proteins of the cells of the nose. The contact between them generates a series of reactions that eventually trigger certain emotions. 348 genes are responsible for the functioning of olfactory cells.
No wonder we all react differently to smells. The same patchouli can both turn one’s head and cause rejection. Therefore, it is not necessary to use monocompositions for the purpose of seduction. The more complex the cocktail, the more chances to excite the scent.
But first of all, the smell should be liked by his “mistress”. Our sense of smell is not mistaken: if the composition is in harmony with the scent of the skin and enhances sexuality, we will be comfortable.
In other words, the perfect sexy scent does not exist. Everything is individual – it is impossible to predict how the intricacies of notes will affect the chosen one. But this is precisely the intrigue, thanks to which we receive a dozen new fragrances every month that claim to be the most erotic. And we find among them the ideal companion for the current season.
