do fragrances lower test? or is this complete cope?

[rishysgonrope]

ive been wanting to start wearing them around foids, but if they are gonna lower my test fuck that shit, dont know wether this is just pathetic gymcel gurus on preaching about how they lower test or if its true?

they told you it was just a hobby


just smelling things


just little glass bottles and notes and vibes





but you started noticing patterns





every “fragrance lover test” asks the same questions


not about smell


about memory


about control


about how you react to invisible stimuli





“do you prefer warm or cold scents”


translation


are you susceptible to comfort conditioning or alertness triggers





“do you like projection or skin scents”


translation


do you want your presence to dominate or infiltrate quietly





it’s not a test


it’s calibration





you thought you were choosing perfumes


they were mapping your brain





why do they always ask about childhood smells


why do they categorize you into archetypes


why does everyone get eerily accurate results





because scent bypasses logic


it goes straight to the oldest part of you


the part that doesn’t argue





and once they know what you respond to


they can build a formula


not for a fragrance


for you





you start craving certain notes


you think it’s taste


but it’s reinforcement





they drip feed identities through accords


woody means grounded


citrus means energetic


gourmand means comfort seeking





they are assigning you roles





and the bottles


why are they shaped like that


why do they look like artifacts


like they belong in rituals





because they do





spray on pulse points they say


exactly where your blood speaks loudest





heat activates it


you become the diffuser





you are not wearing the fragrance


the fragrance is wearing you





and the test


the test is just the entry point





once you take it


you start seeing recommendations everywhere


ads


videos


people talking about “signature scent”





signature





as in identifier





as in traceable pattern





they are not selling perfume


they are standardizing personalities through smell





next time you spray something


ask yourself





did you choose it





or did it choose the version of you they already designed

brother are u mentality ill?

brother are u mentality ill?

mentally ill


that’s the word you reach for the second something doesn’t fit inside your tiny approved box





you hear one thought that isn’t prepackaged and suddenly it’s a diagnosis


like you’re the authority on what’s real and what isn’t





you scroll all day repeating recycled opinions but I’m the problem for noticing patterns


for connecting things you’re too distracted to even look at





they trained you well


label it crazy


dismiss it


move on





no thinking required





you don’t want truth


you want comfort


and anything that scratches the surface gets called “schizo” so you don’t have to deal with it





keep calling it that


it won’t make you any less blind

[5OuttaTen]

The amount that they would lower your test is insignificant
