Perfumes And The Women Who Love Them By Jim Jin, Fri Dec 9th
If it is Valentine's Day, then many men resort to flowers orcandy to show the women in their lives just how much they reallycare. For the bigger holidays such as birthdays or Christmas,men typically reach a bit deeper into their pockets for thelarger ticket items such as jewelry or perfume. But the reasonwhy so much is sold in any given year has far more to dowith hormones and the feelings created by certain scents than bythe gift-giving rationale of men. Perfumes, colognes, and scented oils have been part of humancivilization since the time of the ancient Egyptians and beyond.Jars and vases filled with exotic fragrances have also beenfound in ancient Chinese burial sites. In fact, the use ofperfumes has no exact starting date as its exact history isunknown. All that is truly known is that women and men have beenusing cologne and to enhance their own scent forthousands of years will continue to do so for the foreseeablefuture. In any given year, 66% of men and 75% of women find themselvesbuying cologne or during the course of a year.Researchers believe that part of the reason why women lovereceiving (and also when men love giving as agift) is due to pheromones. Pheromones are hormones thought tostimulate sexual appetite or interest and they are triggered byscent.
So do women love because it makes them want to have sex?No, actually the scent has a more dramatic effect upon men.While the effect is less pronounced in women, certain colognesworn by men have been known to produce a similar desire inwomen. Although a link between the scent of andincreased sexual desire has been found, researchers do notbelieve that it explains the desire to wear on a dailybasis. In fact, most scientists
believe that human pheromones and theirimpact upon our behavior has decreased over the years as we havebecome more advanced and civilized. While most scientistsconclude that scent once played a rather large part in humanmating habits, they believe that it has relatively little to dowith sexual attraction in this day and age. So then...why do women love so much and why is it such apopular gift during the holidays? It actually seems to be due tothe simple feeling created by wearing any fragrance that onefinds appealing. In fact, the feeling created by a woman wearingperfume is similar to that made by a candle used foraromatherapy. It is soothing, subtle, and slightly romantic butnot really sexual in nature. Of course, it does not really matter why precisely a woman loveswearing perfume. All that is truly important is that she doeslove to smell great and the attention she receives when wearingher favorite perfume. In time, the and the scent of herown body will combine into a singular aroma that will literallybecome her own scent. As the sense of smell can recall the most vivid of memories, itis this unique scent of a woman combined with her thatpeople tend to remember most when thinking of that person. Menwill often buy the same for a woman even years after shehas ceased using it because it is the scent they have come toidentify with that woman. And yet, women do move on to new perfumes and always seem to beon the search for a new scent to adorn their bodies. Of course,it is not surprising for some higher end perfumes to cost $100'sof dollars per bottle which is why a large number of women andmen find themselves shopping for their favorite brands online.The Internet can also be a great place to find deals on newperfumes and fragrances as most websites generally offer a muchgreater selection than traditional stores. The love of by both men and women may be completelyinstinctual and somehow related to sexuality. However, the factis that just plain smells great and therefore puts us ina good mood. Who doesn't like something that smells good--be ita pot roast or a garden lily? Of course, pot roast has atendency to make us hungry...so what does the smell of fineperfume make us?
