Benefits of wearing a perfume – part 2

February 2, 2021

If we haven’t convienced you about all the benefits wearing a good fragrance can have on your health, well-being, stress and your mood just yet, then you’re in for a treat. There are a multitude of other positive benefits of wearing a quality perfume. And this time we’ve focused on all the ways a fragrance can help you boost your social life and your ability to become a dating magnet. Here are six benefits you simply must know:

Have your signature scent

It’s great having a number of fragrances and a number of options to alter your different moods, feelings and personalities. Yet choosing a timeless overall signature scent is a lovely thing to do also. This way people know that scent as ‘you’ and connect it with your personality and your qualities.

“Perfumes have the effect of making you more attractive to members of the opposite sex.”

Attract attention

It is very common for someone to be attracted to a person purely because of the way they smell. Many perfumes are rich in pheromones, which means when you wear them, they have the effect of making you more attractive to members of the opposite sex. If you want to be more attractive and get someone’s attention, wearing a sexy fragrance, preferably one with pheromones, is a great way to achieve this goal. As the famous Oliver Creed once said: “Ladies, a man will never remember your handbag, but he will remember your perfume.”

Boost your confidence

“Perfume could trigger happy thoughts throughout your day, which will help to stabilize your mood, keeping your self-esteem level up and above.”

A spritz of fragrance can work wonders to your personality. Your confidence can be boosted by simply knowing that you smell good. It works in the same way as your favourite piece of clothing in which you feel most confident. Not to mention, the pleasant-smelling perfume could trigger happy thoughts throughout your day, which will help to stabilize your mood, keeping your self-esteem level up and above. This is supported by the results from a research done on manipulation of body odor on self-confidence (S. Craig Roberts et al., 2008) which emphasize the importance of combined personal odour and fragrance in modulating both self-perception, especially self-confidence, and consequent perception by others.

Aphrodisiac

“Fragrance has the power to channel desire.”

One of the most fun and also mindblowing facts about fragrance is its power to channel desire. Although scent is subjective, there is proof that certain notes trigger a biochemical response and arousal in both men and women. Artificial fragrances have been used for thousands of years to manipulate personal odour. And although you are likely to be attracted to any scent that reminds you of your lover, fragrances like ginger, vanilla, rose, jasmine, champaca, saffron, lavender cinnamon and others, may turn you on as these scents are proven aphrodisiacs.

Improve your love life

We’ve told you already that some scents have the ability to trigger arousal in both men and women. Consequently, the benefit of choosing the same sensual fragrance for when you are feeling passionate, has an interesting affect not only on yourself but on your significant other as well. As fragrance can trigger various memories, the more you will use that particular scent during times of passion, the stronger your partner’s association of that scent will be with being passionate and sexy.
