When we like someone, we make sure to build
enduring memories with them, and we use our five senses to achieve it.
Strawberries dipped in chocolate fondue, romantic music, physical contact, are
all ways in which we connect through the senses.
You may have noticed I didn't mention the sense
of smell, well, that is because there's a lot more to say about it. It is the
most influential sense we have; it connects directly to the part of the brain
responsible for memory making.
We can only remember 5% of the things we see,
but we remember 35% of the things we smell, for this reason, it plays a major
role in how we fall in love with people, scents are as important as looks when
we chose a partner.
Our sense of smell works similarly to that of
other mammals, even though we don't go around smelling people, we can perceive
pheromones. Pheromones are chemical signs that indicate sexual availability and
are interpreted by the hypothalamus which comprises much of the limbic system,
which is a set of structures in the brain that deal with emotions and memory.
When we feel attracted to someone, our body
produces pheromones, we are not aware of it, but our brain is, and it is here
that all the falling in love process begins. Then follows a complicated chemical
chain reaction that we might define as love.
You can take advantage of the importance of
this sense to build atmospheres suitable to bond and to create memories with
your loved one.
If crucial moments in the relationship like the
first kiss happen where there's a distinguishable smell, it will be easier to
remember it each time we smell it again.
Incorporate smells to your plans, scents like
ylang-ylang are used as an aphrodisiac because it is soothing and mood-lifting.
Jasmine also provides a romantic feeling that couples adore.
Scents can be dispersed using a professional
grade diffuser at home where you can choose uplifting and fun fragrances to set
a romantic mood.
Choose plans like cooking dinner together or
watching tv, and take advantage of these moments to disperse specific aromas to
create a pleasant environment to keep him coming back.
Every time he encounters the same smells, he
will think of you and of the memories which you have created together.
Now you know, if there is a special someone
you'd like to fall in love with, be creative building lasting memories for the
two of you.
