Smelling Like a Rose

Smelling Like a Rose

Song of Solomon 1:3 Because of the aroma of your aromatic oils you have a reputation for pouring on cologne, therefore the young women love you. (GMR)

The Lord did a curious thing when he made man for the first time. He had already created all the animals, but he wanted to show that man was not just another superior animal.

If you compare the mating patterns of animals and man, you see some interesting “opposites”.

The first is that in animals, the male is the one endowed with great beauty, which is used to attract the female, who is usually very plain and unattractive. Of course in humans it is the other way round. The woman is the one who carries the beauty and the man is always attracted by sight.

The other difference between man and the animal kingdom is that in animals, the male is attracted to the female by smell. If you have ever had a female cat or dog as a pet you will know that when the female comes on heat, there is a smell they give out which attracts every male in the vicinity.

Now although perfume is usually considered mostly a female thing, the truth of the matter is that women are more attracted to a man by the way he smells than the other way around. In fact, most women wear perfume more for their own benefit than for the man. The smell makes them feel lovely and releases their femininity.

The verse above is an interesting one, because it shows that even in the time of Solomon, the aromatic oils that he wore as a cologne gave him a reputation amongst the ladies.

Cosmetic companies have discovered and try to major on a discovery that certain ingredients in a male cologne have a powerful effect on human females. They call them pheromones. I used to think that this was just a farce, but there is too much evidence that these substances do have an effect on women.

Of course the worldly approach is to advertise these products as a means to men obtaining sexual goals.

The sense of smell is a very selective thing, and each person has their own “smell template”. So do not assume that any cologne is acceptable. For both men and women, there is smell that becomes your personal signature or identity to your partner.

Do you have a template smell for your husband or wife? Is there a certain cologne or perfume that you love on your partner? You might find that whenever you smell that odor you think of your partner.

If you have not both identified your favorite kind of smell, then work on it, and find out which kind of smell your partner prefers. Then learn to use the sense of smell to draw closer to each other.

Perfume and cologne are not just something you put on to get rid of the smell of body odor, although that is a good reason to wear them. If you have a problem with smelling bad when you get hot and sweat, then you should always have some handy.

But the most wonderful thing about putting on something that smells nice is that it puts your partner in the mood for getting closer to you. And you will be amazed how a little cologne could get your wife to show more interest in sex.

Once you have found the smell your spouse likes, why not wear it often, and especially, why not wear it when you come to bed. You might find your love life suddenly becoming more exciting. The smell alone can put each of you in the mood for love.

Give it a try and see what happens. Especially you guys. Women are suckers for the right smell. Try it out on your wife.
