Scents that arouse a woman or a man—Is this even a thing?

Just the other day we stumbled across an interesting finding: “Scents that arouse a woman” is a term that more than 700 different Google users search every month. And this got us thinking—Here at Scentbird HQ, we know all about the powers of fragrance. It can transport you back to a place and a time, it can pamper your senses, make you feel good about yourself, but did we miss out on the fact that a fragrance has the power to make you more attractive in the eyes of someone else? 

Knowing that desire and sexual attraction start in the brain and that the olfactory bulb that detects scents is closely tied to our limbic system, a particular area of the brain that controls our emotions, memories, moods, and feelings, we can certainly say that these 700 Google users might be onto something. 

Yes, and we have science to back this claim. According to the leading researcher Dr. Winnifred Cutler, who identified the existence of human pheromones: “Essential oils and blends can create a lovely fragrance that enhances attraction and allure”. For detailed research, read this study in Psychology Today here.

It’s a rather lengthy read, but for the lovers of CliffsNotes, this is what you need to know: While a perfume cannot instigate a pheromonal communication, meaning it cannot make people throw themselves at you in a mating game, it can certainly enhance your appeal. And we have the best news: Here’s a detailed overview of all the scents that might just do that.

15 Best Scents That Arouse A Woman—Or Two, Depending On How Effective Your Fragrance Choice Is

The following fragrance notes have been praised for their aphrodisiac effects for centuries, and judging by some scientific studies, these reputations are well-deserved.

Vanilla

Scents that arouse a woman

The appeal of vanilla is closely connected to the Azteca Emperor Moctezuma, who, in order to maintain his large harem, drank as many as 50 cups of Chocolatl, a beverage where cocoa and vanilla were the main ingredients. 

To test these claims try any of these vanilla-powered colognes, which have stood the test of many of our Scentbirdies:

  • Get A Room by Confessions Of A Rebel;
  • Eros by Versace;
  • Oxford Bleu by English Laundry.

Jasmine

Scents that arouse a woman

Jasmine scented fragrance is a must-have for anyone’s scent collection. Jasmine is one of the oldest notes in perfumery and has a long history of being a sought-after aphrodisiac. And aside from its sensual attractions, it’s also a major part of most floral colognes in addition to being a great team player in scent. A little jasmine in the heart of a fragrance makes the entire composition fuller, and more mysterious.

We’re backing up these jasmine scents as the best ones to try: 

  • Burberry for Men EDT by Burberry;
  • Gendarme by Gendarme;
  • Amber Gaze by Maison Sybarite.

Sandalwood

Scents that arouse a woman

When used in perfume, sandalwood has a creamy, soft, and sweet texture that is delicious on its own or in combination with other notes. A tiny drop of sandalwood can make a bright green perfume seem earthier, and a light, citrusy scent becomes exotic and sultry.

Interested? Try these top three sandalwood scents now: 

  • Fierce by Abercrombie & Fitch;
  • John Varvatos XX by John Varvatos;
  • F*ck Mondays by Confessions Of A Rebel.

Lavender

Most lavender scents have that non-contradictory herbal bite that’s comforting and confident, reinforcing the sense of efficient sensory calmness lavender is known for. In other words, when you wear a scent where this ingredient is prominent, you ought to feel more self-assured. If you’re ready to test this claim, we suggest trying these three colognes first: 

  • Sign by Mercedes-Benz;
  • Morning After by Confessions Of A Rebel;
  • Lethe by Ulrich Lang.

Cinnamon

Scents that arouse a woman

According to this scientific study, cinnamon is a proven aphrodisiac with very powerful arousal properties. Cinnamon lends a bit of spicy heat to oriental fragrances and balances the sweetness in gourmand compositions while playing up the sensuality when blended with floral notes.

Here are a few of our favorite cinnamon-scented fragrances, which should definitely be included in the scents that arouse a woman.

  • Uomo Signature by Salvatore Ferragamo;
  • Burberry London for Men by Burberry;
  • Mankind by Kenneth Cole.

So, Scents That Arouse A Woman—Are They Foolproof?

Although scents come in bottles, they are not magic potions, so the chances are you are not going to have any luck seducing anyone simply by wearing your favorite perfume if she’s just not interested.

In order for this scented magic to work, you need to believe in it. You need to wear it with the right attitude, a heavy dose of self-confidence, and respect for the other party. And own at least one of the abovementioned colognes applied in all the right places.
