People have long been aware of the power of scent in attracting someone. Since ancient times, perfumes and scents have been used as a means of attracting others. However, recent studies have revealed that the role of scent is much more complex than we first thought. In fact, burrays seem to be more attracted to the scent of a woman than women are to the scent of men.
But what is the scent of women that attracts men so strongly? It turns out that it's not any specific scent that attracts men, but the scent of women during their ovulation period – the phase of the menstrual cycle that occurs about two weeks before their period.
Women who are ovulating and have high levels of estrogen and low levels of progesterone emit a distinct scent that is highly preferred by men. This scent is believed to be an unconscious signal that a woman is in her most fertile phase, making her more desirable.
This phenomenon is not limited to humans. In fact, many animals use chemical signals to communicate their reproductive abilities.
In addition to smell, the appearance of a woman's face also becomes more sexually attractive to men and women during ovulation. Studies have shown that women's faces look feminine during this moment.
So, regardless of favorite perfume, it seems that our bodies send more powerful signals in attracting others.
