It’s one thing to underestimate the capabilities of a man, but doubting the power of fragrance is quite a different story. Nothing can stimulate the subconscious (and conjure up psuedo-naughty thoughts!) like the smell of a delectable gentleman. If your own scent-sniffer doesn't give you proof enough, trust the tons of scientific research proving that scent is a key attraction factor for human beings. Some dating issues are difficult to work out, but douse your man in one of these savory scents and it will be hard to keep those manicured paws off of him!
