Perfume To Attract A Man

Best Perfume to Attract a Man

 

Are you trying to attract a man? Don’t worry, you are not the only girl to find yourself in this situation. I am often asked what are the best perfumes when it comes to attracting a man. When I worked selling perfumes and cosmetics in London, many ladies whispered in my ear that they needed the right perfume to attract a man.

 

The concept is not anything new. There is a very famous Ancient Egyptian papyrus called the Ebers Papyrus. It is packed with information about medicinal herbs but also information about aphrodisiac fragrances.

 

Many of the aphrodisiac fragrances mentioned in the Ebers Papyrus are found in modern-day perfumes.

 

As Shania Twain sings - let’s go girls!

 

Perfumes Vs Eau De Toilettes

 

When a lady asks me to let her know what perfumes are the best to attract a man, I always take the opportunity to explain the difference between perfumes and eau de toilettes.

 

Eau de toilettes are less rich in essential oils and essences. They are perfect for wearing during the daytime when you are out about.

 

If you want to attract a man, buying a perfume is a better idea. The blend is stronger which means the fragrance is going to last for longer. In other words, perfumes are more intense.

 

The other buying advice I offer ladies hoping to catch the man of their dreams is to consider buying a box set. In perfume box sets, you get a complete “arsenal of weapons” that can help you to hook your man. You often get a body lotion and a mini bottle for top-ups.

 

What You Need to Know About Aphrodisiacs

 

Girls, we need to talk about aphrodisiacs. Some scents stimulate the sensual part of our minds and bodies more than others. Just like us, plants produce hormones. They are called phytohormones.

 

Here is a quick list:

 

●     Gibberellins

●     Auxins

●     Cytokinins

●     Salicylic acid

●     Ethylene

●     Jasmonates

●     Peptides

●     Brassinosteroids

 

 

When it comes to attracting a man using perfume, one of the most important plant hormones is jasmonates. Jasmine flowers are rich in jasmonates. This is why you often find jasmine essential oil in sensual perfumes.

 

As the flowers and plants are processed to make the perfume, the phytohormones are released into the essential oil. This is how they end up in your perfume.

 

What Are the Best Aphrodiacs in The Plant World?

 

This depends on who you are trying to seduce. We all react differently. It is well known that many women find an aftershave with patchouli and coca leaf attractive.

 

Men respond to seductive and sensual fragrances as well. The best fragrances to look out for are:

 

●     Jasmine

●     Ylang ylang

●     Patchouli

●     Rose

●     Sandalwood

●     Cinnamon

●     Geranium

●     Neroli

●     Vanilla

●     Musk

●     Amber

 

 

Things to Remember Before You Buy A Perfume to Attract a Man

 

If you are just out on “the pull” and looking for a short-term liaison, there is no reason why you should not turn yourself into a femme fatale overnight.

 

However, when you have a more serious relationship in mind, it is better to go for the slow burn. Get him to notice you by adding something new to your style. It can be lipstick or perfume.

 

If he is interested, he will compliment you. It is all about creating a point of contact and striking up a conversation. My husband first complimented me when I wore a perfume by Issey Miyake.

 

That being said, you need to recognise there is going to be what I call a “crunch moment.” Can perfumes help you with that? They sure can…

 

Large VS Small Bottles

 

I think that many seduction or sensual perfumes are best bought in small bottles. It is better to have a selection rather than just one.

 

Men rather quickly stop noticing scents. This is why I recommend ladies have at least three sensual perfumes in their collections.

 

To make sure your love interest notice you, swap between the different perfumes. Wear Carolina Herrera on your first date and then swap to Black Opium Intense for the next date.

 

By the way, the same trick works on husbands. Swapping perfume is a great way of fishing for a compliment.

 

10 Best Perfumes to Attract a Man

 

What are the 10 best perfumes to attract a man? When I worked as a personal cosmetic and perfume shopper, I had a list of 10 perfumes I knew would do the trick. I am taking the opportunity to share it with you.

 

There are no hard and fast rules when it comes to using this list. Pick a perfume which works for you. At the moment, my personal favourite is Cartier La Panther Eau de Parfum, but I also like Dior Hypnotic Poison and Elie Saab Le Parfum Essentiel Eau de Parfum.

 

Carolina Herrera Good Girl Parfum

 

If you are looking for a very feminine perfume, this is the right one for you. Although it has many sensual qualities, Carolina Herrera's Good Girl Parfum does not overpower an encounter. It is a perfume that you don’t exclusively have to wear to attract a man.

 

As it is not overstated, you can wear it to the office. It is the right perfume for you when you are trying to attract a man at work.

 

Good Girl Eau de Parfum has all of those essential qualities you expect from a sensual perfume. It is rich in jasmonates from jasmine.

As the scent develops, you also pick up on almonds and a touch of coffee for vibrancy. Yes, coffee is another aphrodisiac scent. The addition of cocoa leaves adds to the energy of this scent.

 

Musk, vanilla and sandalwood add to the aphrodisiac qualities of Good Girl Parfum.

 

Dior Hypnotic Poison Eau de Parfume

 

Is Dior Hypnotic Poison seductive? When you are looking for a truly seductive perfume, Hypnotic Poison should be on the top of your shopping list.

 

Dior’s Poison range has expanded and rightly so. Both Hypnotic and Girl Unexpected are excellent fragrances from this designer perfume brand.

 

Hypnotic does not leave a lot to the imagination. In many ways, this is a pure seduction perfume. All of the classic aphrodisiac essences are found in abundance in this perfume.

 

You can expect vanilla, sandalwood and musk help you to deliver the results you want. They are backed up by jasmine, caraway and soft coconut for that romantic final flourish. Lily of the Valley and rose also make appearances.

 

Armani Si Eau De Parfum

 

Armani Si is slightly different from the rest of the perfumes on this list. Still, I think it belongs on the list of great seductive fragrances.

 

As a scent, it still has its base in musky and woody notes. What makes it more sophisticated when compared to other scents on this list, is the addition of freesia and Rose of May.

 

Rose certainly adds to the seductive qualities of Armani Si Eau de Parfum. Nectar of blackcurrant turns SI into a fantastic scent for the modern woman. It has character and yet remains feminine.

 

 

Givenchy Ange Ou Demon Eau De Parfum

 

Givenchy is in my opinion one of the best designer perfume brands in the world. It has an extensive range of scents for both men and women.

 

When you are looking for a sensual perfume, Givenchy Ange Ou Demon should be on your shopping list. The first time I smelt this perfume, I knew I had to have it.

Why do I like it so much? It has all of those seductive qualities that you need to attract a man including jasmine and patchouli. At the same time, it offers up something different which makes it stand out.

 

I love the fact that Givenchy has added peony and lemon to this scent. Green tea leaves and soft white flowers make up the nuances found in this excellent perfume.

 

Once applied, it lasts for a long time. It is not going to let you down. Perfect for when you are looking for something slightly different.

 

Dolce & Gabanna Intense de Parfum

 

If you are looking for a seriously sensual and seductive perfume, Intense de Parfum for Her is a good choice.

 

I am not sure this is a good choice for the office, but I certainly think Intense for Her is excellent when stepping out on a date.

 

What does Dolce&Gabanna Intense smell like? Neroli and green mandarin make up the essence of this perfume. They are a match made in heaven when you are looking for a seductive combination. This initial statement is quickly followed by tuberose and orange blossoms. Finally, sandalwood drifts away on soft clouds of sweet dreams.

 

Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Eau de Parfum

 

What girl would like to go to Paris on her own? I don’t think any girl would like to visit Paris in spring on her own.

 

If you decide to go to Paris, I would urge you to visit perfume shops. Before you go on a romantic break to Paris, YSL Mon Paris is an excellent eau de parfum to buy.

When it was launched in 2016, it quickly became clear this is a perfume that dares to stand out. Thanks to the addition of both Jasmine Sambac and Chinese Jasmine, it has slightly Bohemian notes. Its freshness comes from peony and citrus nuances.

 

What makes it perfect for romantic breaks is the addition of white musk, patchouli and cedar. Vanilla and white musk add to the overall experience of this sensual scent.

 

As it lasts, it is a good choice for romantic weekends away and honeymoons.

 

Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Intense

What is the secret to the success of Black Opium Intense? I know that many ladies like chocolate. I do too, but I also like liquorice.

 

Although I am not 100 percent sure, I think that the addition of liquorice is what makes Black Opium Intense special. That’s great - many men like the smell of liquorice.

 

Thanks to the talents of experienced perfumer Nathalie Lorson, the man in your life will also be treated to notes of vanilla and sandalwood. Jasmine, vanilla and coffee also make appearances as the scent lingers.

 

Issey Miyake A Drop I’ssey Eau de Parfum

 

If you are looking for a full-bodied perfume, A Drop I’ssey Eau de Parfum is an excellent choice. Most men I have met pick up on the notes of this scent. Let’s find out why.

 

The essence of cedar is probably one of the first notes he will pick up on. This is followed by lilac and orange blossom. You would not have thought they would go together. But when they are combined with vanilla and musk, they work.

 

The final flourish includes star anise and musk. It is an excellent scent for when you want him to notice you. Thanks to vanilla, it is also slightly comforting. I find that men like scents they associate with comfort.

 

Elie Saab Le Parfum Essentiel Eau de Parfum

 

Le Parfume by Elie Saab was launched back in 2020. I like Elie Saab and think the brand offers a range of high-quality scents. If you have not as yet added a scent from Elie Saab to your collection, you should think about doing so.

 

It was actually my husband who bought Essentiel for me. He got off a flight, handed it to me and said you love this. He was right - I love it.

 

Also, there was little wonder he picked it for me. You can immediately pick up out patchouli and cedar. In the middle, you can enjoy the essence of gardenia flowers which is lovely. Other notes include mandarin oranges and orange blossoms.

 

Essentiel from Elie Saab is the complete package appreciated by women and men in equal measures.

 

Cartier La Panther Eau de Parfum

 

The first time I tried La Panther, I think I actually said yummy. It is one of those scents that makes you think of dark warm summer nights and sipping something nice while looking into his eyes.

 

I would even go as far as to say that this is a “take me to bed” perfume.

 

La Panther makes you feel like a feral feline on the prowl. What does La Panther smell like make you feel this way? Gardenia is one of the first notes you notice. Shortly after osmanthus, the devil plant, makes itself known, you feel naughty. Furthermore, the essences of apricots and patchouli will be appreciated by both you and him.

 

Final Thoughts

 

Perfumes have different purposes. I think we should all have fragrances for special occasions, freshies for everyday use and sensual perfumes for attracting a man. What is wrong with that?
