Love goes through the nose

Have you ever wondered why we are attracted to certain people? It’s not just about looks or shared interests – our sense of smell also plays a crucial role in attraction.

Our nose helps decide who we like and who we love. To do this, the human nose has 350 olfactory receptors, which enable us to perceive around 10,000 odors. Our eyes, on the other hand, manage with just three receptors – these figures alone show how important smelling is for us. We need this sense not only to recognize danger, but also for the most beautiful things in life, such as love. It is said that the chemistry between two people has to be right. However, a woman and a man will only find each other if they can smell each other well – in the truest sense of the word. The prerequisite for falling in love with a potential partner is having the right scent.

Interestingly, the scents that are decisive for choosing a partner are merely degradation products of our immune system, which unconsciously tell us how healthy the other person is – which diseases could affect them and which they are protected against. An evolutionary masterpiece. Perfumes or fragrances, however individual and fragrant they may be, override our own scent and thus undermine the process. Even if we can do without perfumes, fragrances can also be found in all skincare products – from body lotion to deodorant. But what can you do if you still want to use deodorant to prevent excessive sweating? The solution is natural deodorants without fragrances, such as CL Deo Kristall. The antiperspirant simply contracts the pores in the armpit area and thus regulates perspiration, without any overlaying fragrances. So nothing stands in the way of getting to know the real thing.
