THE LIST:
- Rose Oil- In a small, but interesting study published in PLOS One, researchers from the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden found that the smell of rose oil caused study participants to rank photos of faces as more attractive than less-desirable smells, like fish oil.
- Orange Fruits and Veggies- Men who eat lots of fruits and vegetables, especially orange fruits and vegetables, have sweat that smells better to women. A 2016 study published in Evolution and Human Behavior found that a diet rich in carotenoids resulted in better-smelling sweat, especially when compared with a diet high in carbs. Carotenoids are the compounds in yellow and orange vegetables and fruits that give the food its color and have also been found to make faces appear more attractive. One more reason to eat your fruits and veggies.
- Musk- Perhaps unsurprisingly, musk is another scent that can make you seem more attractive. The actual scent comes from the anal glands of animals (civet musk comes from the anal glands of a civet cat, as InStyle UK reported), but the primal scent can make you more seductive because it conjures up thoughts of sex. Women are more attracted to men who smell of musk because, as InStyle UK reported in the aforementioned article, women are about 1,000 times more sensitive to it than men.
- Lily of the Valley- Back in 1993, a study found that the scent of lily of the valley can boost stimulation and reduce feelings of "apathy." Additionally, Dr. Alan Hirsch, from the Smell and Taste Treatment Research Foundation told Glamour that when he conducted a study to find out which scents men found most attractive, one that ranked high among participants was lily of the valley.
- Vetiver- You may or may think that you're all that familiar with the scent of vetiver, but it's a scent that's commonly used in men's fragrance products. British Vogue reported that many women (and men as well) find vetiver attractive. It's a bit woodsier than some scents and blends well with other well-loved scents.
- Vanilla- Hirsch also told Glamour in the previously-mentioned article that many men in his study found vanilla to be an attractive scent. It's sweet, but not too sweet and goes well with a lot of things, so it's versatile and not overpowering.
- Fruit- While you might not think you want to smell like an orchard, apparently, men find fruity scents attractive. Avery Gilbert, Ph.D., a sensory psychologist told Women's Health that fruit scents are "disarming, but attractive." Look for a perfume with plenty of fruity undertones to take advantage.
