1. What about scent and its effect on your attractiveness?
We often focus on the maxxing of visual cues that determine attractiveness: this thread, rather, will focus on" maxxing" olfactory cues of attractiveness (more specifically arousal). I shall begin by talking about Hedione and it's significance, and also include some potentially indirect benefits. Next, I shall post some fragrances which contain Hedione. Hedione can induce female arousal. For those who suffer from low-inhibition, it may also unironically help with confidence in approaching.
2. Hedione
1) "Cell physiologists have demonstrated that the odorous substance Hedione activates the putative pheromone receptor VN1R1, which occurs in the human olfactory epithelium. Researchers showed that the scent of Hedione generates sex-specific activation patterns in the brain, which do not occur with traditional fragrances." https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/04/150409081438.htm
2) As we can see, Vomeronasal receptors are activated by Hedione: as per the wikipedia page on Vomeronasal receptors, it is said that, "Pheromones have evolved in all animal phyla, to signal sex and dominance status, and are responsible for stereotypical social and sexual behaviour among members of the same species." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vomer...ptors are a class,members of the same species. Now we know a little about pheromones and their role in sex and status, but the original paper talks about sex-specific activation patterns, but it is crucial to note that later on the paper it is stated,
3) "Hedione activated a specific hypothalamic region, in women more strongly than in men. This activation pattern is typical for controlling sexual behaviour via the endocrine system. " Now we see that Hedione has a more profound effect on women.
Moving on, there are other effects which should be noted about Hedione. In another paper, we find that,
4) "Hedione... positively affects reciprocal behavior in economic games." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5411439/
5) And finally, though this article does not explicitly cite Hedione, it talks about the effect odours,
"Attractiveness of an individual male's non-verbal behaviour, independent of structural facial features, was predicted by the men's self-reported proclivity towards the provided deodorant." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19134127/
3. What can we infer?
So, we see that Hedione can active the pheromene receptor VN1R1; such pheromene receptors are responsible for modulating sex and dominance status. Moreover, it seems the activation effect is more profound on women than men. Having said this, it should be safe to infer that using odors with Hedione will yield greater success in attracting women, as it is supposed to arouse them.
I also explicity mention something about reciprocal behavior being positively affected in economic games. I am not entirely sure if the effect was sex-specific, but I presume it was. Having said so, we can extrapolate and say that it would be beneficial to wear Hedione odors when applying for jobs, school, and so forth: it will leave a more favorable impression. What reciprocal behavior exactly constitutes, however, should be looked at more thoroughly.
Finally, there is point 5). Now, before saying much, I just hope that someone will check me on this point. Anyways, it seems that if men apply an odor they have an inclination towards, they will rate their non-verbal behaviour as more attractive regardless of their facial features. Knowing that Hedione makes women aroused, perhaps some of you, especially those who suffer from inhibition issues, will feel more confident in interacting with women. It is confusing, though, because point 5) talks about men's self-reported proclivity towards the deodorant. My logic is not sound here, but maybe there is some merit to it.
4. Cologne with Hedione
Comme des Garcons Odeur 53 -- it is apparently 50%+ or so Hedione.
https://www.calvinklein.us/en/product/ck-one-44010044 -- same thing, apparently 50%+ or so Hedione.
There is also the more known Dior Eau Sauvag -- I believe the Hedione content is less.
There are more in this article: https://vioralondon.com/best-mens-fragrances-with-hedione/
Maybe there are deodorants with a good concentration of Hedione, too: I encourage you to share if you find any.
5. Conclusion
Wearing Hedione odors may arouse women and increase their attractiveness (sexual, anyways) towards you. Additionally, it may increase reciprocal behavior in economic games: if we extrapolate, it may help you in situations where you want to seem more favorable like a job interview. Finally, it may help you approach more knowing you have a Hedione odor on you. I encourage you all to seek our further evidence in favor of this, or evidence which contradicts this. I do not wish to fraud you and lead you down a bad road.
