A somewhat unusual study (see below) has investigated which fragrances make women particularly attractive to men. In other words, the search for the ultimate perfume.
In fact, the odour was particularly attractive to men during ovulation. And there are some components that enhanced the positive odour:
1. geranyl acetate, 2. myristic acid and 3. palmitoleic acid
1 Geranyl acetate is a component of the fragrance of roses, lemons, oranges, bitter oranges and limes. It is therefore already used in perfumes today.
2. myristic acid (scientifically tetradecanoic acid, C14) is mainly found in coconut oil (14%) and in nutmegs. It has a waxy odour. In humans, it is found in the skin, breast milk, amniotic fluid and saliva. It triggers a sucking reflex in infants.
3. palmitoleic acid is most abundant in macadamia nut oil at 20%. It is an omega-7 fatty acid and is actually odourless. However, an odour is produced when it is broken down.
In the study, a perfume was made from these three components and the microphones used for the test questions were partially wetted with it.
The test candidates did not even know that the study was about odours. However, they perceived the same photos of women with the fragrance as more beautiful, more elegant, wanted to spend more time with her and liked to look at the picture for longer.
Roses, oranges, macadamia nuts and coconut oil can therefore make women more attractive to men through their scent.
