Originating in Cologne, Germany this popular first date toiletry was originally used to hide the foul smell of those who did not bathe on a regular basis. It is now used as a way of enhancing the sexual appeal of dater’s worldwide. So does it work?
Some scientists argue that it is possible to replicate appealing scents that will enhance sexual attraction. Others argue that the cologne actually hides naturally occurring pheromones that would have otherwise instigated an attraction between two individuals.
Despite this, most people believe that pheromones are not enough, and therefore choose to bath in their chosen cologne. The problem is that the nose slowly becomes less sensitive to the smell, leaving the cologne wearer to believe that the scent is not as powerful as it should be. They then proceed to add more and more cologne, in a fruitless attempt to reach a certain scent level. Everyone knows someone like this - you can usually smell them long before you can see them.
So what should you do on a first date?
I would advise against wearing cologne on a first date. There are rising rates of people who experience allergic reactions to the strong smells that come from colognes. Not only this, but the likelihood is that you will be so nervous that you will overspray yourself, and the car ride with your date will be unbearable for them.
The simple solution is to have a shower right before the date, and wear some sort of scented deodorant. It is virtually impossible to overdose on deodorant, so this will allow you to smell good without overdoing it.
This goes for the girls as well. Too much perfume (which is usually the case) just smells bad. Sometimes it can be so strong that you can almost taste it in your mouth - gross!
The pheromones will sort you out; not the Ralph Lauren version that you have stuffed down your shirt. Trust me!
-Safe dating my Friends!
