Yes, it’s true irrespective of how ridiculous it may
sound to you. It is already a clinically proven research. In 2010, the Chicago-based
Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation conducted an interesting study on 31 male volunteers in the age group of 18-64. It was aimed at testing
the sensation effects of 24 different odorants (fragrances) including pumpkin on
the pelvic muscles. In the test results, pumpkin together with lavender was
producing the strongest stimulus with 40% of the volunteers reporting greater
blood flow into those muscles. Surprisingly, the same percentage for floral and
chocolate are just 3.0 and 2.8 respectively. If women (not everyone) prefer to
wear fragrances with a belief that they would complement their sensuality, then
this research has greater utility for them. They may give pumpkin-note-based
fragrances a chance.
One of the most iconic and beloved fragrances
associated with fall is undoubtedly pumpkin. There are over four hundred
fragrances presently available in the market having notes of pumpkin. It seems
like the industry is already making good use of this knowledge. In this
article, we'll take a closer look at these five fabulous pumpkin-infused fragrances
from different brands, each offering a unique olfactory experience.
