It may come as a surprise, but not too many guys are into stopping and smelling the roses—the men in Dr. Hirsch’s study were hardly turned on at all by the soft scent. Guys aren’t into other kinds of strong florals, either. “If it’s too flowery, it makes me think of an old lady,” noted one dude after getting a whiff of a bouquetlike perfume (maybe that explains why so many guys are hesitant to give flowers?). Instead try a fragrance with lily of the valley (a scent that proved a big turn-on in Dr. Hirsch’s study), such as
Dior Addict 2.
