Even though it’s far from all we think about as women, admit it ~ sometimes we do try to look and feel our best in order to attract that hottie who has caught our eye.  We do our hair, nails, and make up, we put together an outfit that shows off our…assets ~ but one often overlooked beauty element is fragrance.   Consider adding another weapon to your beauty arsenal by arming yourself with a bit of knowledge about which scents guys tend to prefer on their ladies…and then choose one that YOU like, too, and viola…you’ll be irresistible!

SEXY SCENT NOTES

Vanilla ~ Vanilla is thought to be one of the most alluring fragrances. It has a sensual aroma that reminds men of fresh food in the?kitchen and works best, according to studies, on more mature men.

Frankincense ~ The aroma from Frankincense stimulates and heightens a man’s senses.

Cinnamon ~ Wearing cinnamon (which has been used since biblical times as a perfume) is said to increase the presence of pheromone-like substances and dramatically increases perceived attractiveness

Lilly of the Valley ~? This delicate flower gives off a light, subtle scent that men?love…and it is said to heighten arousal.

Lavender ~ Though lavender is typically associated with relaxation, it’s also one of the most powerful aphrodisiacs. Since ancient times, Lavender has been associated with love and romance (Cleopatra used the seductive powers of lavender to seduce Julius Caeser and Mark Anthony). In more recent times, lavender is placed under the bed of newlyweds to ensure long-lasting passion.
