Odorprints – Yours Are Unique so Come To Your Senses
Posted November 17, 2008 6:45 PM
The nostrils are the quickest route to the brain so along with those ‘first impressions’ from our visual senses comes the sense of smell to influence our intimate decision making processes. I often wonder why we are so obsessed with perfumes, after-shave, oils and lotions that are scented. Every variety of scent is offered, all to change how we smell. What’s wrong with our smells? Are we afraid of smelling too ‘randy’? Are we actually afraid of not having control over how we present ourselves? Are we that self-conscious?
Perfumes and other cover-up scents wreak havoc with our senses. We can’t clearly determine if the person standing before us has the scent we like or need. Our odors are us. We all have genetically ordained scents that help us to actually determine who is a match for us, primarily genetically, so that we gain a healthy mix for our offspring. Science is saying that our odorprint may be as singular as our fingerprints. If this is the case then why do we cover our odors up?
If we are to discover each other, find good mates and know whom our friends and enemies might be we need to use all of our faculties to determine that. Yet we cover up and often someone will mask a whole room full of people with their perfume. So I’m suggesting that you stop wearing any scent but your own. See what happens when you visit friends or meet new people. See if it changes your relationship with others. It just may be that you actually draw others to you more. And, maybe, your OWN sense of smell will improve and YOU will have a better sense of who your real friends are.

This is such good information. As a person who has a compromised sense of smell due to sinus surgery, only once in a while can I ever really smell anything. I never use any artificial scents because I really don't know what they smell like...so, figure it's best not to. I always wondered, too, if aromatherapy works on someone who cannot smell...is there something actually in the odor, or is it just the effect on your mind?
