THE SCENT OF A MAN DRIVES WOMEN CRAZY

There is no denying it….women notice men who smell good. Whether it is a guy we pass in a store or the love of our life, our heads will turn to the scent of a sexy smelling man. As much as women appreciate the scent of a man we want to make sure that the men we have in our lives smell as attractive as they are to us. Unfortunately, guys do not seem to grasp the importance of using cologne to keeping their ladies enticed. Since men are visual creatures perhaps explaining the benefits of this little aphrodisiac will open their eyes to the importance of its use.

Smelling Good Means Taking Care of Yourself
& Shows You Can Take Care of Others

Speaking for myself I can say that a “good smelling man” signifies a gentleman who cares enough about his hygiene to make the extra effort to top off his cleanliness with nice cologne. If you are lucky enough to have passed the initial phase of dating and your man still wears cologne it means he still wants to be attractive to you. By wearing cologne it shows he is still making the effort to give you something you like as well as taking care of him.

The Scent of a Man is Undeniable

There have actually been studies conducted on this by professionals and just curious individuals. What I found interesting was that the majority of these studies were conducted by young men who wanted to fully comprehend what it was about a man’s smell that drove women crazy. One that was particularly interesting to me was a college male who noticed a female friend wearing an extremely oversized sweater on a completely sunny day. Her female friends (all dressed in tank tops and short sleeved shirts) were gathered around her at the table next to his. He could over hear the commotion of compliments they were giving her in regards to her sweater. For the life of him he could not understand at all why!?! His thinking was she looked horrible because it did not fit her at all and it was way too hot for her to be wearing a sweater. When he finally could not stand his own curiosity any longer he intruded on their conversation. What he found surprised him. The sweater belonged to the girl’s boyfriend and the other ladies were taken back and intoxicated with the smell of the sweater. He thought to himself, “You have got to be kidding me!!” But, they weren’t and his ignorance to the power of a man’s smell led to his research.

 What he went on to discover in his project was that human pheromones(aka your bodies’ natural chemicals) have been known to sexually attract women. A little interesting side note…these same human pheromones have been known to repel men. Studies have shown that these same chemicals also harbor a spacing pheromone which is used to “mark territory” and signal physical presence in the male species. Just another piece of evidence that “Men are from Mars & women are from Venus” LOL!! This particular experiment went on to show that women responded with friendliness, sensitivity and emotionality when exposed to larger concentrations of the chemical. Also intriguing were the facts that the chemical showed a greater effect in the first period of the woman’s menstrual cycle and when combined with other fragrant ingredients (men’s colognes).  It is proven that women will generally undergo flushing of the nasal area and the cheeks when they are exposed to the chemical/cologne and will indeed tend to flirt more.

Friend or Lover A Man's Smell is Important

So guys… (And for the gals who have to educate their men) here are a few recommendations that will help you in this area. I strongly urge you to have 2-3 colognes at hand so you can “shake it up”.  Women like spontaneity and by changing the way you smell a few times a week gives the insight that you are not predicable and boring. This is important on two levels. If a woman is looking for a mate she wants one that will most definitely bring some spice to her life. By rotating your cologne choice you will show that you are surprising.  For those of you that have your soul mate, by rotating your cologne you are showing that you still want to have fun and spice things up in your relationship. Mainly it shows her that you want her to be attracted to you.

Never apply cologne solely to your clothes. If you do this the smell with eventually vanish within a matter of a few hours. Your clothes do not contain the natural pheromones that your body does therefore you will not obtain the full effect of your cologne if you do not apply it directly on your body. When you spray cologne on the right spots it will mix with these pheromones to create a scent that is distinctive as being YOUR SMELL. Each person’s body creates its own natural smell with these pheromones and mixed with cologne your own individual smell is created. Your smell cannot be duplicated. Now you know why cologne never smells the same on another person as it does you.  You are unique!!!

The best parts to apply cologne to your body are known as the “hot spots”. This is because they are the areas known to produce the most heat. The heat from your body will combine with the chemicals from the cologne to produce a longer, greater satisfying and effective smell. To achieve the maximum results when wearing cologne, it is suggested that you apply it to the following body parts: neck, wrist, arm pits and behind the ears. If you are using a spray cologne do not spray it behind your ears. Spray it on your hands and rub it behind your ears after all, you don’t want to smell like you took a bath it your cologne. Too much is too much. Another benefit to putting cologne on behind your ears is that when you are dancing with your lady we will tend to whisper in your ear or rest our heads directly on your shoulder so we will not be able to escape your spell-binding aroma.

You do not have to break the bank to smell good. There are an unlimited amount of expensive colognes on the market. The most expensive to date was a perfume/cologne made by Calvin Klein.  It sold for a record $2,670 per bottle and contained a chemical called androstenone this according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Luckily for you there are cheaper alternatives. Mary Kay sells men’s cologne that is called “DOMAIN” that is amazing. I have to say that this is one my all time favorites. It reminds me of a combination of Drakkar and Abercrombie & Finch cologne for a fraction of the cost. A 2.5 fl oz bottle of Domain costs $34.00. You can also purchase the body wash and hair shampoo for $18.00. Domain will wrap you (or your man) is a scent of hearth and home mixed with a blend of lavender and oak moss. It is a very masculine scent that will keep the women drooling for hours.
