The Fragrances That Make Our Partners Instantly Irresistible

Our sense of smell has a unique ability to entice us. It can make our mouths water and draw us in almost magnetically. On the other hand, of course, it can just as easily repel us, prompting an instinctive recoil. It’s one of the reasons why we put so much thought into choosing a signature fragrance for ourselves. It should be morish and alluring, with a narrative that speaks to your personality. It also has to be a scent you want to surround yourself with all day long, and ideally, one that elicits the same response in others. Because, let’s be honest, fragrance is as much for you as it is for the people around you—especially your partner.

But rather than focus on what our partners might want us to smell like, we are more interested in making them smell irresistible, for our own olfactory pleasure. After all, nothing triggers the ick faster than an overbearing or predictable fragrance choice. Here, the MC editors share the fragrances that make their partners smell irresistible, should you be in need of a little inspiration.
