Smell is the only sense that’s wired into your limbic system. Your olfactory bulb connects straight into the amygdala (emotion) as well as the hippocampus (memory) (without first being relayed through the thalamus ofc), bypassing the "thinking" part of the brain that vision and sound always get filtered into. This is also why some scents throw you into a memory instantly and also why fragrance affects us emotionally before we can rationalize it.
This is basically why I encourage having a signature scent, not just changing bs every time.
Now I want to talk a lil ab pheromones.
In animals like insects and mammals, pheromones are proven and powerful, however in humans there is little to no proof about that, the evidence is almost non existent, the “candidate” molecules are androstadienone from men, estratetraenol from women, have mixed and mostly failed replication. The vomeronasal organ, the structure which animals use to detect pheromones, is basically non-functional and vestigial in adult humans, also those “sexy pheromone” fragrances sold online have no solid evidence they do anything. I am not claiming pheromones dont work since studies are really mixed, just dont fucking buy pheromone bullshit.
Not really a guide just giving tips to use a signature scent and stop you from doing stupid shit.
