Perfume....

[Moli]

Do you think perfume is made to attract the opposite sex???

[angieh]

Interesting question Moli!

Perfume originally was probably made to cover up the natural scents that were meant to attract the opposite sex. Perhaps in themselves they have taken over the function of natural pheromones. Have to say that most perfume (male or female) makes my breathing bad - and that's not from lust!

[Moli]

Nothing Mags! blimey you are so suspicious!!:roll::lol:
Just wondered if it did attract the opposite sex as they say it does...:?

I think it does,I love that jean paul gotea for men,I can smell it a mile off :lol:

I think it probably did originate to cover up unpleasant smells when bathing daily wasn't an option for most people. And has probably morphed to an attractant now. But some people use it so heavily that it would seem to be more of a deterrant! Don't you hate being in the elevator with someone who's apparently applied a half bottle of perfume/aftershave.....????? Phew!

Sure do DM, its especially bad in a hot shopping mall, all the different perfume/aftershaves together...

I think it does too Moli. I love it when OH wears aftershave, very sexy!

There are some perfumes that have pheremones added to them (but not human ones, pig ones!! :shock:) They've done experiments and the ones with pheremones are more attractive to the opposite sex.

I like to think that by wearing one perfume, when OH smells it he thinks of me and it brings back nice, sensual memories together :) I'm very sensitive to smell, and it is nice when you're kissing to pick up a fragrance on the neck. Body heat makes it smell warmer too, and is very sensual... But I think it has to be subtle and only smelled in an embrace or kiss, not from a mile off!!

But I love nice fragrances. I love burning Jasmine oil, or Ylang Ylang, or Patchouli. It gives such a nice ambience.
