We Found Out What Men Really Think of Your PerfumeIs your signature scent a turn-off? Real guys gave us some real talk about women's fragrances |
No. 9: Demeter Fragrance Library Pumpkin Pie, $20 The label says: Pumpkin, sugar, cinnamon, ginger, cloves
The guys say: Cinnamon, fireball, Red Hots
Pizza may not have been a winner, but science says pumpkin pie should be: A 2011 study conducted by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research foundation found that the smell of pumpkin pie aroused men. With our testers, it wasn't quite love at first sniff. "It's not offensive, but it's weird," said one Crave staffer. Most of our testers quickly picked up on the fact that they were sniffing something inspired by a food, comparing it to Fireball whisky and Red Hot candies. "It's not human," said another tester.
Okay, we get it. Baked goods aren't the turn-on we'd hoped they'd be. On to more traditional perfumes...
