Historical facts.

From historical data in the East and in the West, the attitude towards aromas was different. For example, in the countries of Europe in the Middle Ages, people washed very rarely. In order to repel unpleasant odors from themselves, they were smeared with odorous substances, which were prepared from a variety of ingredients. At the same time, the scents of jasmine, sandalwood, and rose were preferred in the East. Women in ancient Athens used palm oil and mint to attract men. In the Middle Ages, alchemists even then made up various mixtures that men like. For example, they mixed geranium tincture with the urine of a baby, or mixed patchouli flowers with crushed toads. These fragrances were successful.

What smells like the stronger sex.

A lot of time has passed since then, and a lot of work has been done to create a wide variety of fragrances in order to attract the attention of men. However, numerous studies have shown that men are much more attracted to scents of natural origin than perfumes. A woman herself can create such smells in her house. Most of all, men like the smells of baking, the aroma of coffee, the aroma of their beloved woman. For many men, the aroma of fresh pastries is associated with comfort and warmth, a calm atmosphere in which you can relax and unwind. The aroma of coffee for many men is perceived as a "charge of vivacity." This fragrance is associated with good mood. It doesn't matter if you're at work or at home. The smell of coffee helps a man prepare subconsciously for various accomplishments. There is no such smell that would attract a man more than the smell of a desired and beloved woman. Men (in most cases) when meeting a woman are attracted by her smell - the so-called love pheromones. They don't even realize how important it is.

Let's try to figure out which specific smells are of the greatest interest to men. If you have a date planned in a cafe or restaurant, then you should not count on the fact that the smells of food will cause erotic desire. The exceptions are those establishments where there are various aromas of incense. These fragrances create a sensual atmosphere.

When the date is to take place in your house, then the day before you should take a shower and use your favorite perfume. The fragrance will become light and gentle over time, which men like. They also like the smell of clean hair.

The light smell of orange, grapefruit or lemon exacerbates love feelings. Try putting the ground zest into small bags. Place these bags in inconspicuous places.

Nutmeg and ginger have a positive effect on male potency. Older men are excited by the smells of eucalyptus and basil. You should not resort to the scent of vanilla in the bedroom.

To avoid mixing odors, use cosmetics from the same cosmetic line.

Nowadays, various essential oils are sold in pharmacies. A few secrets to attract men. Only a few drops of various mixtures of these oils should be applied to the body. For example, mix together: 3 drops of bergamot oil, 4 drops of patchouli, 3 drops of ginger oil and 2 drops of cinnamon. A mixture of essential oils can be varied, the main thing is that all oils should complement each other.

Men like aromas of geranium or mint. These scents help you relax. You can drop a drop of oil on the lamp, and a light aroma will “cover” the room. You can also apply a drop to your hands.

The action of smells.

Let's try to figure out how certain smells work on men. For example, men like the scent of jasmine. Any woman who resorts to this fragrance can count on success. In men's eyes, the smell of vanilla can "reduce" a woman's age. A man who loves sweets will reach for a woman like Carlson for jam.

You should know that not all men prefer the same smells. Some men like one thing, others like another. Before you start using this or that fragrance, you need to find out how the representative of the stronger sex treats it.

Men also like smells: cinnamon, freshly cut grass, cedar, sea. As well as the smells of citrus, sandalwood, musk.

Many women, when using perfume, apply too much of it, which is not worth doing. Also, you should not take perfumes one on top of the other - this will cause the aromas to mix and you will get "it is not known what." You need to apply fragrances on a clean body. And remember that every man likes not all smells in a row. You also need to know that there are fragrances that you need to use during the day and those that are suitable for an evening meeting.
