4 smells most appealing to women: which colognes have them?

This study said licorice+ cucumber was the best.

Followed by baby powder and lavender and pumpkin pie.


Someone on another thread said Perry Ellis' Portfolio smells like licorice+cucumber. True?

Any other recommendations would be welcome regarding combos of these scents.
Article:

"Women weren't as turned on by scents, which surprised Hirsch because they tend to have keener noses. But the combined aromas of cucumber and Good & Plenty candy (which is licorice scented) and the scent of baby powder tied for first place (a 13% increase in vaginal blood flow). Pumpkin pie plus lavender followed, with an 11% increase"

Did you just post a thread containing the words 'vaginal blood flow'?

Jeez..

Wait til the ladies here on Basenotes get a glance at this thread.

I suggest you learn a little more about women, son. Or just people in general. If you think that study means anything, colognes aren't going to help you.

I really want to know a) whose "study" that is and b) how they measured "vaginal blood flow"

I can't believe anyone is stupid enough to use vaginal blood flow as a measure of how appealing a scent is. Another cooked up comedy.

Are you saying you go clubbing in the morning?



Blood flow sounds so scary.

Well, I can be a 24-hour party animal if the opportunity arises...

Does this mean the AXE effect doesn't actually exist ?

LMAO! Perhaps VBF is directly proportional to VS (vaginal secretions, which is like a hard on for a woman)? I have a scary image of somebody with a graduated cylinder collecting tube. Ok, joking aside, this is silly.

Funny. I was wearing Dior Homme yesterday and it brought to my mind the smell/taste of Good 'n' Plentys, although there's no prevailing licorice note to the perfume. Of course, I was gettin' it on with this stripper, so I may have been distracted.
