How to Identify Cologne Scents That Women Like
Identifying cologne scents that women like is not easy. Importantly, scientific researchers have found that cologne scents may prevent you from knowing which women find you attractive. According to "Psychology Today" magazine, researchers at the University of Lausanne in Switzerland have found that women are actually attracted to the natural smell of men because the nose detects genetic compatibility. (See References 1) According to "Psychology Today" expert on smell Rachel Hertz, author of "The Scent of Desire," cologne can cover the natural male scent. (See References 2) Thus, cologne may lead to a break up when your lady's nose realizes you are too genetically similar or dissimilar. Does this Spark an idea?

Keep in mind that women have individual preferences. Communication is the best way to get to know someone. If attempting to purchase perfume for a particular woman, the best way to find out what she likes is to ask her directly. Another approach is to wear colognes that you already own. When you wear them around your lady friend, ask her if she thinks you smell good.

Take notes from female friends and family members if you are trying to find a cologne scent that most women would like. Female friends might also be more likely to be honest with you than a woman you are in a romantic relationship with. A woman that has romantic feelings for you will, in truth, probably like (or at least be agreeable about) almost any cologne you like to wear.

Think about the smells that people generally find pleasing. Elle magazine writer Maggie Bullock, for instance, believes the true secret to a great men's cologne is what she calls the "nuzzle-ability" factor. "Nuzzle-able" colognes are scented like things that are comforting and fragrant, but not necessarily feminine. Tasty smells, such as vanilla, for instance and rustic smells, like oak, may just get you nuzzled. (See References 3)

Take a more daring approach by waiting for reactions. Regularly wear colognes you like to work, school and/or social gatherings. If the scent is noticeable, odds are someone will comment upon whether or not you smell good. Also remember that, if someone is wearing too much cologne, people may respond to the strong smell in such a way that appears as if they are averse to the cologne fragrance.

Identify the message you are trying to send about your personality. The cologne entrepreneur and music artist known as 50 Cent, for instance, advises that some women might want a man who is strong and bold. The cologne developer recommends going with pungent smells such as lemon and patchouli. Visit the cologne counter at a high end department store for advice on cologne scents. Sales representatives will likely know which fragrant ingredients different colognes contain.
