The Scent of Desire

Sex has been the basis of selling scent for decades. Sure, one wants to smell good for the sake of personal hygiene and confidence, but wanting to attract the opposite (or same) sex also plays a role in us reaching for certain fragrances over others, or even scenting our bodies at all. However, funnily enough, the body odour we are born with will always waft through, no matter how much deodorant or perfume we splash on.


We should not necessarily by all means get rid of our natural body odours because it tells us something about mating qualities. I’m not advocating that we should walk around without washing or using deodorants, but I think the fact that we disguise our body odour could also come with some disadvantages,

Recently there has been a rise in animalic scent releases employing everything from manure-esque oud to fecal-smelling civet in a bid to smell sensual. “It’s interesting socio-culturally how we have this cleanliness obsession to remove those funky body smells and then we’re using artificial fragrance to re-scent ourselves,  Could said fragrances be read as an attempt to recapture our primal nature? Why buy a ‘dirty-smelling’ scent. Some people like dirty smelling scent it can also be a fetish. Some ladies sell their dirty underwear as a lot of men like the smell and aroma of a woman.  A certain Sultan from the Ottoman age liked his wife to annoint herself behind her ears with the scent from her unwashed vagina.  I know men who like this and I am very willing to oblige. 

Perhaps it is not so much what we smell like, but rather how sexually attractive that scent makes us feel.  Simply put: just spritz on whatever fragrance makes you feel the most desirable, and confidence will take care of the rest.
