Ask any guy for an opinion on your perfume and their reaction will almost always be the same. It's more likely that he will wrinkle his nose, sneeze or groan, as opposed to ripping your clothes off and taking you to pound town right then and there.
Perfumes might be designed to act as aphrodisiacs to attract the opposite sex, but the reality is that the odours that really get a guys' blood flowing aren't always the aromas you're going to find in fancy bottles.
In honour of National Sense of Smell Day this Saturday, here are 6 natural scents that are guaranteed to help get a dudes' penises standing to attention.
Vanilla
The sweet, welcoming odor has a euphoric effect that sets the sensual mood. Vanilla is an aphrodisiac, libido enhancer, and it naturally lowers your stress levels. As early as the 1700s, physicians recommended it to male patients when things were lagging in the bedroom.
Lavender
While it’s not a favourite with every woman, something about the scent is said to relax men and make them feel nurtured. The famous historical man-eater, Cleopatra, was said to have used the scent of lavender to seduce both Marc Antony and Julius Caesar.
Cinnamon
Being among the top aphrodisiac scents to attract men, cinnamon is known to create warmth and generate excitement. It might seem a bit odd that a spice like cinnamon is alluring to men, but aromas related to food are actually some of the most popular.
Pumpkin Pie
Numerous studies show that the scent of pumpkin pie (especially when combined with the scent of lavender) increased penile blood flow in men by 40%. Odd combination but it’s no coincidence when pumpkin pie contains vanilla and cinnamon that both top the charts when it comes to aphrodisiac scents.
Citrus
Studies suggest that the citrus smell produced an arousal reaction in almost 20% of men, and it makes sense. Oranges conjure up thoughts of sun, sweetness, and of squeezing ripe boobs. Of course, they love an orange scent! One study even showed that if you smell like pink grapefruit, men automatically assume you’re younger than you are.
Sandalwood
This light, woody aroma has been part of Tantric sexual rituals for thousands of years. Sandalwood is said to heighten one’s sexual response. The very presence of sandalwood in the bedroom is said to induce more powerful orgasms.
