Are these the sexiest perfumes for women?
10 designer perfumes men can’t resist…
First of all, you should wear whatever you like.
I have never bought a perfume because a man told me he liked it. I am not suggesting you should either. I feel like I need to say that before writing an entire article about perfumes men supposedly find irresistible.
But somewhere between wear fragrance for yourself and the endless lists of “perfumes that drive men crazy,” I became curious.
Do men actually agree on what smells sexy on a woman?
Because apparently, they might. At least a little.
Not on one magical bottle, obviously. There is no perfume equivalent of a love potion sitting between Chanel and Dior. But when you start looking at surveys, fragrance preferences and the perfumes that repeatedly appear on these lists, certain smells keep coming back: vanilla, musk, jasmine, warm florals and sweet notes.
But making this list for me came mostly down to observation.
And I am very observant. I would always notice when someone smells good, but I would also notice when someone compliments someone on their scent, and listen carefully when they say the name of the perfume.
