I’ve always wanted to create my own fragrance, how about you? While doing some research on the subject, it seems I’m not alone. How we choose a fragrance is directly related to how we select a mate, according to Professor Tim Jacobs, Head of the Smell Research Laboratory in the School of Biosciences at Cardiff University, located in the UK — South of Wales.
We may all think we choose our perfect partner based on their appearance, personality, or even the size of their wallet, but research reveals the KEY to finding your soulmate is the way they smell, because how a person smells is an indicator of who they are. Every person has a unique biochemical bouquet called pheromones, that work to attract (or repel) others in a purely primal way.
Last month a couple came into Tijon’s Parfumerie and Boutique (he had worn the same cologne for 47 years and she thought he might be up for a change). After spending three hours in the laboratory, together they designed their perfect fragrances (she created his cologne – he perfected her perfume) and they discovered the key to not only romance, but what really is the “secret” ingredient to a lasting relationship. Scent compatibility and scent memory. Think about it.
