Stop and smell the perfume! Choosing a signature scent is a big decision. Over the years, we’ve bounced from fragrance to fragrance, trying to find an aroma that feels authentically Us. At the same time, we want to make sure that others enjoy our odor! After all, there’s no better feeling than getting complimented by a stranger on your smell. But picking a perfume is not as simple as buying a new handbag — there’s actual science proving that scent has some pretty powerful side effects!
According to experts, aroma plays a part in determining attraction. As Dr. Joanne Frederick told The Zoe Report, “The perception of a potential partner’s body odor can subconsciously help one decide if they’re attracted to them or not. When you’re attracted to someone, you’re more likely to be drawn to their smell.” Agata Groyecka, a researcher whose work has appeared in Frontiers in Psychology, agrees. “Some odors are not only rated as more pleasant but also sexier, and therefore, they are likely to make people eager to flirt or date,” she told CNN. “Similarly, unpleasant odors can be discouraging to engaging in a relationship.” Scent is also arguably the strongest trigger of memory, taking you back to profound periods of your life with just one whiff.
Just like with fashion, there’s one brand that always raises the bar with perfume: Gucci. Known for luxury accessories and aromas, Gucci has created iconic scents that will get you stopped on the street.
