Clean
The clean smell of fresh laundry, soap, or shampoo can have a powerful impact on
women who enjoy the fresh smell. Clean scents can be energizing and uplifting, giving
women a sense of calm, which can then lead to an increase in sexual desire and attraction.

Musk
A staple for most men’s colognes, musk is a rich, sexy, and sensual scent that drives
many women wild. The scent is masculine in every sense, and is one that many women
choose for their men to wear, as well as a popular choice for men themselves. When
musk oil was first discovered, it was said to have unusual powers of sexual attraction.
Today’s musk colognes are based on this oil, which was originally derived from musk
deer.

Earthy
Earthy scents like sandalwood, patchouli, and rosewood are strong scents commonly
associated with masculinity. The earthy aroma can warm the body and increase feelings
of well-being, thereby increasing a woman’s desire for a sexual encounter. Sandalwood,
in fact, resembles andosterone, which is a chemical that is secreted from the underarms of
human males. Scientific studies have concluded that women subconsciously link the
scent of sandalwood with andosterone, thus elevating attraction and sexual desire to men
wearing that scent.
 There are many ways to attract women; scent can be one of the most powerful due to
women’s heightened sense of smell. Consider these five sexy scents the next time you’re
