What I don't understand is that if someone chooses to wear that is very offensive to others, yet they wear it anyway.
My helper has the most offense scent she wears in my home sometimes. I almost throw up from it.

So as far as scent goes, two each their own. Everyone smells things differently I guess.

Some cologne guys have poured on themselves before coming over to watch a movie together or something has given me migraine headaches. I had to tell this one guy to go home because I needed to lay down and suffer with a migraine.

There are other scents that a man will wear and it is a real turn on. I don't know the names of the newer one but original Old Spice has always been a favorite of mine.

Absolutely. I am a perfume collector and perfume can make or break an outfit but it also enhance the appearance of someone.
Imagine a man or woman walking past you and they smell sooooo good. They turn to smile a for sure you know they aren’t your type but they get brownie points for smell good.

I have heard that men are attracted to women that smell like cinnamon. I tried it and it seemed to work.

If it's very subtle it can attract my attention. But after the first 30 seconds there needs to be something more.

If it's not subtle it can drive me away - maybe running fast. I think strong perfumes in public should be illegal. People don't realize how sickening it is.

It makes them seem more irresistible if they smell amazing to you , a scent that can make you more drawn to them for sure , that turns you on , a scent that you will not forget when you come across it again

Scent is ALWAYS important BUT, not if it's covering something that should be taken care of with regular/proper hygiene. I can go further with this but I feel in this day and age one should be aware.

bowenw · Answer

It can add to a person's overall attractiveness. As a person with sensitivity to fragrances I always prefer it be used sparingly. Overbearing perfume is a turn-off for me.

BrownSugar00 · Answer

Yes and it's scientifically proven. For women, wearing pumpkin spice attracts a male and for a male, wearing musk attracts a woman. FYI ladies and gents!

MaddieMayMoo · Answer

I mean biologically many people can sense if a potential partner is a good match genetically based on BO, if they are repulsed or attracted to it. As far as additional scents in products, to me personally it can have a minor effect

DizzyDesii · Answer

Yes. I will hug the most unattractive mf for damn near forever if he has on some good smelling cologne 😩

scooogy · Answer

Well, on the one hand you can say they at least don't smell bad, on the other hand quite a few people can all have the same scent with their perfume.

love_conquers_lust · Answer

It’s okay at first until nasal receptors are saturated. It can cause headaches if it’s overbearing.

I use mild shampoo and scentless soap for sensitive skin. Haven’t worn cologne since high school. Use salt sticks for deodorant. I prefer hygeine.

I don’t mind if girls use fragrances. Vanilla and I remember Liz Claiborne perfumes are nice

Arik_jade · Answer

@lisia yes 💯% agree with you. Good scent does work out...🤣... Is that question to me because of yesterday conversation 🤣🤣🤣

ChefPapiChulo · Answer

Lot of those perfumes have pheromones, which are supposed to be seductive.  Id say they work tbh.

Dinklex3 · Answer

I think of it more as a bonus. Only if I already find you attractive. If I don’t, then I don’t really care.

Still-alive · Answer

Heck yes! Lol i think you knew my answer to this already though :p

Staximus · Answer

It is sure better than them smelling like a sack of onions in the summer sun

DryGermanGuy · Answer

As long as it is under a certain threshold, sure. Some people unfortunately have lost the nose for quantity and seem to douse themselves in perfume. 😷😷😷

Radiate143 · Answer

For me yes. Because if they have a good scent that doesn't smell cheap then I would think they ha e good taste in other things. There are a person with finesse and discernment.

EmmaMary · Answer

Certainly some perfumes and shampoos can have that effect.

RedInnocent68 · Answer

Yes. Although an inseparable part are pheromones. When they land right, they bring all the boys from the yard.

Massageman · Answer

It's the pheromones in the blend. (Yes, I;ve heard of the cinnamon/vanilla and lavender studies.)

AmeerX · Answer

You know average looks are okay but a good scent and good hygiene is far too important for me.

DarkLegacy · Answer

Yes it is, it is very important to attracting men. It works with me

John_Cobretti · Answer

Yep , the right perfumes really do a great job!

mobiusforniner · Answer

Not sure. But I will say wearing Bleu de Chanel results in more voluntarily and longer duration hugs from females than without.

SolitarySolace · Answer

Yes. The last girl I ever attempted to see where things would go with, I was captivated by her perfume. Eventually she falsely accused me and now I have major resentment for women.

LiamJHayden · Answer

Probably. I know a stench, makes her seem less attractive.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

I would think... I know that a foul smell can make an otherwise attractive woman someone that I'd rather avoid

exitseven · Answer

Maybe, I do know that a bad odor can make somebody seem less attractive than they actually are.

BoopBoopBeep · Answer

Yep. Armani Code puts me in a mood immediately.

Slim57 · Answer

Definitely, a good smelling person is always more attractive and I've always made sure I smell nice myself on a date

Fireguy17 · Answer

Possibly, it would be better than bad body odor. It definitely would not hut anything.

Kingofkings1992 · Answer

Lmao, no. Obviously smelling good isn’t a bad thing, but it doesn’t make a person “seem more attractive than they actually are.”

Anonymous · Answer

No. Smell is great, but if you are ugly, you are ugly.. no way around that

helva · Answer
