Love at first sight? Many experts prefer to call it love at first smell. Our dream partner just has to smell good to us. Meet dating success halfway! We know which perfume ingredients will help you to captivate the partner of your dreams and increase your chances of success.

Ingredients that enchant men:

Ever popular vanilla

If you want to make men all over the world go weak at the knees, put your trust in vanilla. Research shows that it is the most popular fragrance in the world across various countries and cultures. Maybe this is because we associate it with sweet desserts, or maybe because it is so good at evoking joy and improving our mood. Perhaps it also comes down to its aphrodisiacal properties! Now you know precisely why there is some vanilla in every other perfume for women.

Undying magic of jasmine

We present what many experts consider the most sensual of all fragrances – jasmine. The reason for this is its indole content, a chemical substance which the plant produces to attract pollinators. Because indole can also be found in our bodies, the same applies for people (this is proven by the fact that jasmine has been used in perfumes for hundreds of years). This rich, warm and seductive fragrance with a touch of the exotic is a safe bet.

Gentle and captivating lily of the valley

Lily of the valley, Christian Dior’s favourite flower, is charming because of its subtlety. While many floral fragrances can be a little on the strong side (too strong for some men), lily of the valley brings green tones and hints of citrus that provide freshness and evoke feelings of the first days of spring and new beginnings. So, try some lily of the valley perfume and find out how new beginnings actually start…

Take a relaxing trip with bergamot

Do you think that men only like floral fragrances on women? Not true! Bergamot, a citrus cultivated in southern Calabria, embodies Italian coolness, playfulness and ease. This is exactly what can help you attract attention. It evokes sunshine, driving bad moods far away. Even better, research shows that bergamot increases the amino acids in the brain, causing the amount of hormones to grow, which in turn boosts the libido. Is there any reason not to try bergamot?   

Perfumes to make him go weak at the knees

Ingredients that enchant women:

Musk: an instant dose of sex-appeal

When a woman is choosing a perfume for a man, in 9 out of 10 cases it will definitely contain musk. Musk or moschatus perfume is a fragrance full of surprises. An aura like this is more than welcoming. Its animal origins (musk used to be obtained from the sex glands of Siberian musk deer, those times are fortunately long gone, and musk is now produced synthetically) probably lead one to expect a strong fragrance, yet the opposite is actually true. Musk is subtle, with powdery, sweet, earthy or woody undertones and reminds many people of the fragrance of human skin. Can you smell the incredible sensuality too? 

Precious and rare sandalwood

Sandalwood is so popular that its sources are now running seriously low. Many countries have started to take notice of this and have put an end to its unsustainable over harvesting. Thanks to this, its warm, woody and earthy notes with sweet undertones give the impression of sophistication and luxury. This is something that women can hardly ever resist. Did we mention that sandalwood-scented perfumes also act as an aphrodisiac?

Cinnamon sentiments

It has vanilla, pepper, fruit and flowers - and it all makes for an incredibly warm mix with tones of spicy excitement. One breath can take us back to our childhood when the house smelled of cinnamon, which meant that a favourite dessert was being prepared. Sentiment combined with a feeling of cosiness also evokes thoughts of Christmas time and makes cinnamon a clear winner in the winter months

Do not underestimate minty freshness

Does the smell of mint remind you of chewing gum or toothpaste? That's not a bad thing though, is it? Mint evokes associations with great hygiene and no one has ever lost points for that. In addition, mint has a fresh and energizing effect and will lend the same qualities to those who use it. Do not be afraid of it. Although it is strong, it appears in perfumes for men in a subtle way, standing out best along with other sexy tones.
