As far as I'm concerned, attraction, in its most rudimentary form, comes from the way a person naturally smells. I'd say that within the first five seconds of 'inhaling' someone, I know if there's an attraction or not. This may sound animalistic - and it is.

Smell is incredibly important and sensual; it communicates who you are.

I like a man who smells good. Puts on cologne; lotions his body. It keeps me wanting. I like feeling that way.

Any woman I know can smell a boyfriend a mile away. Women are intuitive: they know when a guy is interested but he's not going to be there for her in that boyfriend-y way.

Smells are so powerful and evocative, sometimes stronger than visual cues.

When you're creating a fragrance, you're always thinking about what you want that first smell to be, that first reaction. It's a sensation, like a symphony with all of those layers and notes. I love the way it changes and the way it dries down. The fun thing about scent is that it's unique to everyone; pheromones take on a new scent.

I think smells, like sounds, can be so much immediately affecting.

I like fresh and clean. I don't ever want anyone to smell me and say, 'Oh that guy is wearing a lot of cologne.' I want people to smell me and say, 'You smell really good!' I think there is a difference.

The best smell in the world is that man that you love.

Smell is a long-distance sense, a way of stretching time and finding out in advance what lies ahead.
