It’s nothing new, the realization that life has gifted itself the ability to smell, with the intention to survive; in animalistic terms -to predict danger, find food and breed. To a human cognizance however, fragrances do much more than provide with basic life skills – they invoke emotions, build perceptions and establish identities.

Our nose – It can smell a trillion scents!

Our nose can detect a variety of smells, and each allows a unique sensation with every person. One is the woody, viscous smell – of the forests, musk and ponds; an earthy scent that will remind you of something burnt, like smoky outdoors. Another example is of the cool, refreshing kind – the mint flavor, which will bring you to the exhilaration of hygiene and cleanliness. However at the end of the day, the flavor that wins popularity hands down is the sweet scent.

We can even smell fear and sexual arousal – imagine that!

It is rather true that poetry, while copying life, captures certain nuances that might be rendered ignored by the rest. In many such cases, poets have come to break down, the romantic idea of ‘sweet scents’, describing the smells of nature, weaving them with relationships, emotions and other intangibilities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Only 7 primary smells exist in the natural world

Sweet smells may be floral – roses, the small blossoms of honeysuckle, and jasmine; fruity –strawberries & berries, melons, lemons and such; or sugary –like chocolates and vanilla. Most good perfumes would be a blend with Benzoin Absolute, which adds a wonderful balsamic, sweet backdrop to the fragrance, while mixing as well with jasmine, rose, sandalwood, cypress and other saccharine oils.

Why do they have such effects?

One of the reasons why sweet smells have been known to have such calming effects on sociological behavior of humans is the ingredient Benzoin Absolute. It is a warm, vanilla-scented resin with gentle, uplifting properties that has been used in the East since ancient times, both medicinally and as an incense. It is also used as an aromatherapy healer, for its relaxing effect – that translates just as well into perfumes.

To go through such a surreal experience and more, you can try any one of the best sweet fragrances around by Harvey Prince – Hello, and Ageless.

Fact: Women’s sense of smell is the strongest

For young women, in particular, sweet scents have played a major role in their choice of perfume. As old traditions go, ‘sweet’ has always been a feminine idea; as have been flowers, mist, honey, and berries. Many women products will, thus, have a sweet connotation – lip balms, shampoos –made with berry extracts or the petals of rose. This aura not only empowers women, but makes the idea of a woman graceful, and beautifully delicate at the same time.

Everyone has his or her favorite smell

Regardless of the sex, sweet fragrances exist to provide a sense of serenity to even men. They’re universally loved, being so often the smell of innocence, freshness and love.
