The Power of Smell by David Wygant
Ask any woman and she will tell you that one of her favorite turn-ons is smell. Whenever I meet a woman and we talk and get along on the phone, she always wants to know what I smell like.
Smell is a very powerful pheromone. The way a person’s body chemistry smells can lead to some intense sexual chemistry.
The other night I went out with someone with whom I had intense chemistry, and when we said goodbye she left behind the smell of her perfume all over my clothes. That smell stayed with me all night while I was sleeping as well as all the next morning. The power of that smell is part of what makes amazing sexual chemistry between two people.
I want to take this a little further. Today I was doing a bootcamp in Manhattan in which I was displaying the power of connecting with women during the day. So we went into Bloomingdales and we walked through the makeup area where they sell cologne. There was this cologne by Jo Malone that I first saw on a trip to London. They have all these amazing smells that I really like.
So I took the guys over there, and I walked up to the woman behind the fragrance counter and said to her:
DW: “Which is your favorite men’s cologne? If a guy was coming over to pick
you up for a date and you had great chemistry with him, which one of these
colognes do you want as a smell leave-behind? Which one do you want all
over your body at the end of the night when you get that hug goodbye?”
So immediately she smiles, her eyes got big, she asked me to smell from the jar of coffee beans, and then she sprayed her favorite cologne on a strip. She then looked at me and said:
Girl: “This is my favorite cologne that I want all over my clothes at the
end of the night.”
When I was talking to her and I tried on her cologne, I had her smell me again creating intimacy, intrigue and attraction. So I asked her:
DW: “How do you like the way I smell?”
After she smelled my cologne, she said:
Girl: “Oh, it smells great! What is it?”
DW: “It’s some brand I get in LA.”
We proceeded to flirt, talking about the power of smell and which cologne was her favorite smell. We then decided to explore it even further. We sampled every cologne and decided which one was her new favorite.
At that point I asked her what it is about smell that turns her on the most. She said:
Girl: “It’s all about smell for me. It’s something about the chemistry and the
way a guy smells that really turns me on. If a guys smells unbelievable
and leaves that fresh clean smell all over me, I’ll think about him non-stop.”
Most women are all about smell. So if you’re a man, I suggest that you start finding out what your smell is . . . it’s not just about the cologne you wear. It’s also about the soap you use, the shampoo you use and, most importantly, it’s about your body chemistry.
At the end as we were preparing to walk away, she and I had this parting conversation:
Girl: “How long are you in town for?”
DW: “Only until Monday.”
Girl: “You need to stop by again.”
DW: “Do you need another smell?”
Girl: “Absolutely!”
Women are definitely attracted to guys who smell good. I’m not talking about guys dripping in cologne like they just got out of the duty free shop at the airport. I’m talking about guys who have a great smell to them and great confidence about them.
You can’t just smell good and not be confident. Walking over with confidence and asking the woman behind the fragrance counter to smell your neck, not once but twice, is creating attraction in a woman. Plus it’s a gutsy move that most men will not do. Doing this not only turned her on with my smell, but it turned her on with my attitude.
By trying this, not only will you smell good but you can use this approach to flirt with women. It creates instant intrigue and attraction when you smell nice.
If, however, you just ran around the basketball court for three hours and then you decide to run up to a woman in Bloomingdales and tell her to smell you . . . that’s called eau de armpit, and I don’t think it’s going to intrigue her.
I absolutely agree that smell is a major turn on for women. And it’s true that it’s not about the perfume. I love it when a man smells nice and wonderful. Men, it’s the combination of how perfume reacts with your skin. It’s about that after note of the perfume that combines with your natural body scent that is uniquely yours. Everyone needs to find and experiment with different cologne/perfume + their natural body scent and find their own signature smell
Yeah I agree David. I use to wear cologne, but found out that women love how I naturally smell. My past girlfriends would steal shirts of mine to sleep with when we couldn’t be together. To this day all of them say my scent is one of the things they miss most of me.
Also just like you said, I have even brought up my scent on dates about how people loved how I smell and I get my dates to smell me, just to see what they thought. My soap, shampoo and such has changed over the years. But lucky for me my natural smell has not. I’m hoping it never will.
*knocking on wood*
While I agree with David that the cologne that can be smelled five miles away is definitely a turn-OFF, a nice cologne on a man is a HUGE turn-on for me.
It is definitely hot when you can still smell a little of a guy’s cologne on your clothes, on your sheets and on you the next day. Then, whenever you catch even the smallest whif of that scent … you are instantly transported back to that last moment of intense chemistry with that guy.
Sometimes it is a guy’s smell that I remember most about him long after we’re not together …
Yes David … B.O. = no go! Enough said
I’m a Massage Therapist by profession ….. so you can imagine the role scent plays for me …. smell and touch are heightened senses in me because thats what I do 8hrs a day 5 days a week.
************************************************************
Except initial sight, there is NOTHING comparable to the way we react to the scent of another human being, man OR woman. W/O additional scent is what I want to sniff first on a man. I prefer it for initial contact. If he smells good w/o, then next time around with scent – depending on the scent and WHERE that scent is – becomes my next sniffing goal. Sound may come first before Sight – if the voice is rich, strong with confidence then I want to indulge my eyes. Once my eyes get fed, I’ll get close enough for the scent. And then the all powerful Touch becomes the next sense I want to indulge in; a casual feather stroke of my hand across his arm feeling his delicate crisp “pelt” and softness of his skin, or over the top of his hand, knuckles and fingers, I may boldly run my fingers thru the soft hair at the back of his head above his neck, just enough touch to see his eyes dialate and his nostrils flare. And then, comes the first taste. Ahhhh, that first kiss. Whew! And depending on where that applied scent is applied, depends on if I like it or not. I don’t want to taste it thank you. So keep it off your neck especially. Back of the knee, pulse at wrist, ankle, side of your chest right below your armpit or a tiny tiny bit in the hair of your nest …. hmmm oh yeah!! Sound, Sight, Smell, Touch, Taste. We are definitely ANIMALS after all!
Two things: there is a particluar cologne some men wear that makes me GAG … I can smell it far away and I beat a hasty retreat from it. I’ve never been able to force myself to get close enough to ask the man (and I would too if I could) “what the HELL is that that …. stuff you are wearing?” so he could be the “perfect” man but I’d never know.
And the second is that the cliche, “we are what we eat”, is a TRUTH. Whatever we munch comes out in all our orifices – including the pores of our skin. I once knew a man BRIEFLY because all was going good until we went swimming. Me in my suit, he in his and he lifted his arm to put around me and B L A M in my face came this noxious odor that sucked the air right out of my lungs. I instinctively jerked away and looked at him like he was some alien. Long story short, thru discussion I found out he ate LOTS and LOTS of deep fried whatever and nothing leafy or green or veggie of any type. His pits were literally belching the fat and grease he was ingesting. After that swim date, I told hm honestly I couldn’t stomach his scent and though he professed to wear deodarant and after shave or cologne, I let him know that, “yeah I know but that only intensifies what I can’t get close to, your pits. Sorry.” Found out he got married about 6 months later, so it all worked out.
I’m a Fire sign so anything of the Earth gets me going, I’m also a Leo and Horse …. was allowed to get close to a big cat once and lord god have mercy, his scent nearly lit my hair on fire – had one of the best back seat of a car sex after that. I also worked with horses for 5 years … so got the leather, horseflesh, ranch hay thing going on. Whenever I get near any and/or all of that, all I want to do is ride … something!!
Great Blog addition David, Thanks.
This is very true! A fresh clean smell can turn you on and the women will think about the man who smells good for a long time.
WOW
Posture, Smell, Grooming, Confidence. These are all first impressions that we deliver to the world, whether we are aware of it or not. And whether or not this is true, other people view it as how we view ourselves, or our level of self awareness.
If a guy smells bad, to me, that suggests he lacks to awareness to know, or he lacks the good friends who will tell him!
To one woman (or many women) a guy may smell fabulously, and to others, maybe not so much– it doesn’t mean that what he’s doing isn’t working for him.
I still remember a guy in highschool, because he smelled so damn good. The reason I started talking to him was his cologne, and I would talk to him all the time just to smell him.
I generally ask (men and women) what they are wearing if I smell something I like. Sometimes I’m able to match it up later.
More men need to read this post today….Great comments from all the women!!
well, i know this to be true, i did my research, talk to women before this post, most important before i bought my cologne…i think its also good that most people have at least two different type of cologne, i think it’s keep the woman guessing.. “Which ones is he gonna wear today?”
Cheers,
Joe
Its more about a mans natural smell that really turns a woman on…its phermones that can lead to great chemistry!!
this i know, david though my research, i learned about phermones, and phermones colognes, and some do help, but you need social skill also.
cheers,
Joe
I had a buddy tell me one time that the “baby powder” smell turns women on… creating a non stop faucet…
Of course… this same guy dumped half a bottle on his nuts one night before he went out with us…
… and when he went to the bathroom to take a wizz… a very large PLUME of powder POOFED out of his pants… causing every guy in there to laugh his ass off…
Moral of the story… don’t overdo it… LMAO
AngelEyes;
LOL You are hilarious! I am very visual and can conjure up a picture in no time from something I read or am told—-This is not a pretty picture!!
LMAO You crazy one!
——————————–
I love the scent of a mans cologne. Put a little on your neck add a dab on your stomach. Mmmmm Perfect To much over powers that natural sexy scent of a man, but a hint of scent enhances the mood greatly. Add your natural gentleness with a woman and ——;))
…polo sport, draka noir, I get compliments from Elizabeth Taylor’s, Passions, for men, Claiborne for men, dolce gabbana, any other suggestions? Women do have a keen sense of smell…
okay Hunter … don’t sigh don’t moan
i just can’t help it!!! Old Spice will always always always do the trick for me.
if my guy is wearing 501 button fly levi’s, a white t-shirt, a tiny splash of old spice, forking a leather saddle on a horse and if a cougar trots by … LOOK OUT :O
ha ha tee hee lmao
nighty-nite everybody and may we all have sweet sweaty dreams.
Pheromones are fascinating. I was with friends this weekend and one brought a great perfume. I smelled it on her and then decided I wanted to wear it as well. The fascinating part is that, on her, it smelled a lot more floral. Whereas on me, it had a more earthy, musk-type smell. Awesome, right?
Hey Hunter, have you smelled Burberry, Carolina Herrera ,Halston, Paris Hilton, Lolita Lempicka?
These are all “scent”suous to wear if you want a woman to smother herself in you!
Jaime;
It is awesome how differently our body chemistry causes perfumes to smell differently on each individual. Amarige, Envy Me, Sweet Sensations
I saw this live, amazing:))
Yakub;
Are you talking about the concept car; this is what you saw?
Jean– I think he meant he saw David in action that weekend– seeing him talk to the perfume girl live.
er, Joan, sorry.
No joan no car,
He is talking about the blog and the power of being able to turn a woman on with this.
Your mind needs to stop wandering and stay focused on the blog:)
Concept car……what concept car?
We are talking about the power of smell and turning her on. It is all about Yakub experiencing this exact thing when we were in bloomingdales
Ask him about this and he will tell you…….
Joan…no…no…lol… thats not what I meant….I meant to say I was there when David was talking to the women about the power of smell, and how turned on she got for David:))
And she was a really fun to flirt with as well!!! She invited me to come back and hang with her…..lots of fun when you learn all the power of your own sexuality and how to use it without giving your power away.
No problem Lexi;)
Sorry David—folks. I am just very stressed and ready for time off, so my brain isn’t functioing on a properly fueled level. I need a recharging that only time away from everything will suffice.
Yakub, I am sorry. Tell me, what did you experience. seems to have had a profound affect on you:)
I think Yakub’s story may make a great guest post!
Lexi
I agree.
Yakub can you write up a post on everything you experienced in the bootcamp and i will post it front page when you are done.
Looking forward to reading it!!!
awesome…I would love to share my story with everyone here because it was such a powerful change for me.
Start typing and call me later so we can go over some of the other things we need to work on
Joan: no worries bro. I think you will like my story. I will write it soon.
dont forget to write about the woman in the store
which one?
the one in the shoe store and why having her hug me creates such attraction to all others that are watching.
The bloomingdales one as well…….as well as all the others that taught you the power that you have!!!
Joan,
We gotta girl-talk … privately!! I live and work in Las Vegas, the “forget-about-everything-and-everybody-but-your-own-FUN-butt” par-tay town …. AND, I work in one of the luxury hotel day spas where I KNOW I can enable you to mellow out and get selfishly self-indulgent.
If you are able to, email me at myspace space …..

Let’s put our two beautiful heads together and get some …. down time for you and soon.
Hey Yakub – I can’t wait to hear about this story from your bootcamp weekend!! Now, it sounds like there’s two girls you have a story to tell about?? You certainly have my curiosity peaked
So … what happened with these young ladies???
LOL I keep trying to get my butt packed and this just is toooo juicy to leave.
David, sounds like the instructor had some fun in the lessons here?!;)
Yakub, you have to get this story out before I leave! I don’t think I will have computer access, well except for my sons (who is a Do Not Touch My Stuff) kind of guy. Oh, lol and I am a woman;))) No bro here! lol
Taleda;
You are full of energy which is awesome!!! Thank you so much for your offer. Actually the down time starts tomorrow:) I am going to CA to visit my mom and go relax at all my old beach hangouts down the PCH (Pacific Coast Highway)—Beautiful!!! I will however drop you a line when I get back. You make me laugh and I love to laugh:)) My kind of people.
OK Yakub;
I am going to finish packing and coming back—I will be looking for your experience shared!
I think it is very important for you to let eveybody in on what Davids boot camp really does for ones life youknow?
SOO get those fingers typing!;))))
…..taleda and joan, thanks for the specific cologne suggestions,…..
Hunter;
You are quite welcome:) They all are sexy scents. Green tea soap smells good too right after a man gets out of the shower.
Joan: thanks for making that clear. I just finished writing the story, hopefully everyone will see it soon.
It seems I am alone in this, but I have a very sensitive nose and I HATE cologne on men. Scented soap is more than enough to subtly scent the skin. If I am standing next to you and can smell your cologne, it seems obtrusive and overdone. The sexiest smell I have ever smelled on a man is a mix of the scents of fresh air, sawdust, sweat, and two-cycle engine exhaust. I guess I’m just a hick who loves the smell of a man who’s been cutting firewood.
it’s not about the scents that the man or woman wears, at all. it’s like david says, it’s about the pheremones. the chemistry is bout how that person smells to you, and you to them. personally, i don’t like a man doused in cologne, it’s a turn-off. i want to sniff his armpits and smell him;)
that’s a turn on!!!!
to know_me
I am telling you, there are gorgeous women out there, that, would put a big smile on my face, if only they would just let me sniff their armpits….LOL!
to know_me,
or maybe, if they would only, let me shine their shoes…LOL!
