Modern research has proven that one of the main components of a person's sex appeal is his smell. This, of course, is not about the smell of sweat. A subtle, subtle aroma, which is perceived by others exclusively on a subconscious level, arises due to the action of special substances - pheromones.
The smell of passion
Biologists say that attraction and passion are caused by the stimulating smell of pheromones. They were discovered during research on insects that could not reproduce at all, search for food, fight enemies without these odorous substances. For animals, a narrower use of pheromones is characteristic - exclusively for finding sexual partners.
People who perceive the world through their nose, paying great attention to surrounding smells, can clearly distinguish and describe the smell of their sexual partners.
Neurogenetic specialists from Germany and the USA have conducted extensive studies on hundreds of couples in love. The result was the discovery of a gene that is responsible for creating pheromone molecules. Indirectly, this suggests that people, like animals, "sniff out" partners.
Independent research by a Russian biologist has confirmed that love has an "aromatic" nature. Victoria Gumilyova proved that the human nose has a tiny depression or vomeronasal organ, it perceives exclusively natural plant aromas and sexual odors. At the same time, the vomeronasal organ does not perceive a variety of chemical components at all. Some scientists have suggested that this mysterious organ may be responsible for intuition or the sixth sense.
Perfume with pheromones, contrary to the stereotype, is not a panacea. They do not apply to a significant percentage of men. Besides, they cause sexual interest and nothing more. Your real scent is much more potent.
The power of fragrances
However, the information about the attractiveness of the subtle elusive odors of the human body can hardly be called shocking and new. Ancient Egyptians, Chinese, Hindus studied the nature of fragrances using available means. They found that the natural scent of a woman becomes especially attractive when the aroma of essential oil is added to it. The oils of geranium, lemon, lavender and bergamot have shown themselves best. Egyptian and Chinese beauties anointed their skins with fragrant oils, hoping to gain power over men.
By the way, men can increase their sex appeal, enhance the "smell of passion" using the aromas of cedar, pine, grapefruit and patchouli.
Modern researchers indirectly confirmed the assumptions of the ancient Egyptians and Chinese. Various experiments have proved that a significant part of women are attracted by the unusual bittersweet aromas of grapefruit or currant. Men are turned on by the smells of lavender and pumpkin pie.
