Scented Secrets
Posted by: Cléa in General, tags: cbmused, fruit-scented beauty products, male attraction to scents, marketing, scentsI open the glass door and turn the tap on. The water takes the obligatory minute or so before it reaches my preferred temperature. I step into the shower.
I wash my hair with a green apple shampoo. I apply conditioner that contains fructose and glucose and smells of coconut. I lather my body with vanilla-scented soap. I exfoliate my skin with a shea body scrub.
I dry myself then step onto the bath mat.
I glide on a peach-smelling deodorant. My face cream is like a rich mango gelato I could eat. I smear almond body butter all over my skin.
I get dressed.
I spray on perfume with spice and floral undertones.
And I feel like a fruit salad.
Marketers may believe that fruit-scented products would make me feel more feminine, but are men attracted to women who smell like fruit?
