The Perfume is the Modern Day Genie in a Bottle

The perfume holds a tale as old as time.

Once, Egyptians used fragrance for religious and burial ceremonies. They even sprayed it on to flaunt their riches and social life. Later on, the Persians wore scents to represent political status. Then, the Greeks and Romans transformed it into an art form. The perfume was eventually commercialized for daily wear.

Today, the perfume is a genie in a bottle. It grants you three, all-encompassing wishes: delight, success, and desirability.

Delight in memories and inner peace

Scents bring back good memories. Incoming smells are directly linked to the amygdala and hippocampus, brain areas responsible for emotion and memory.

That’s why that musky cologne your boyfriend wears reminds you of date nights, warm hugs, and of course, your boyfriend, even if you just get a whiff of it from a tester in the department store. There are people who also use their mother’s perfume because it sparks memories of home and youth, so on.

Perfumes can also calm the mind and spirit, create positive vibes, and swing your mood to the bright side. Although there’s no scientific evidence to back this, there’s just something about certain scents that soothe you. That’s why scented candles and bath bombs exist.

Success in career and social life

The perfume is the ultimate performance booster. It boosts your confidence game in both the workplace and social gatherings. Confidence leads to immense improvements in performance and even wellbeing. The right perfume will also enhance your mood and help you make solid first impressions.

Walk into a job interview with the right perfume and it paints the portrait of a strong and capable woman ready for the professional world. Join a party or networking event wearing a dash of fragrance that speaks to you and find people gravitating your way.

Desirability in love

Love potions are outdated, spray on perfume instead. Pleasant smells attract and captivate potential romantic partners. A study from the Monell Chemical Senses Center even found a correlation between good scents and physical attractiveness. The presence of pheromones, hormones that stimulate sexual desire and appetite, helps too.

It’s no joke, heaven-sent perfume can do wonders in romance. So brush shoulders with the man or woman of your dreams and let your fragrance be the beckoning finger that leads prospective lovers to your doorsteps and DMs.
