A SCENT OF ROMANCE |

|
(NAPSI)-Did you know that scents affect people differently depending on where they're from? Studies have shown that the scent of a roast cooking elicits feelings of romance in German men, while the scent of pumpkin elicits amorous emotions in American men. In fact, researchers say the right aroma can evoke vivid, whole-body sensations and that scent may play an important role in love and friendship. It has to do with what's known as the olfactory cortex, the part of our brain responsible for registering scent. It's embedded in the limbic system, the place from which emotions stem and where emotional memories are born. So how can you use scent to set the mood with a current--or potential--significant other? Check out products such as Harry Slatkin's new selection of fall scents, called The Perfect Autumn collection. It features delectable scents and seasonal favorites in the form of collectible, figural ceramic candles, filled glass candles, room sprays, home fragrance oils, wallflowers and ScentPorts. Here's a look at six top picks from the collection: • Pumpkin--A stimulating blend of fresh pumpkin, ground cinnamon, brown sugar and vanilla cream. • Creamy Caramel--The scent of melted butter, rich caramel toffee and creamy vanilla. • Creamy Nutmeg--A warm and inviting blend of fresh ground nutmeg, vanilla and pralines atop a base of dark, rich rum. • Autumn Apple--Crisp and bright, the sparkling scent of autumn apples with pear blossoms and a hint of applewood. • Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin--This tantalizing scent blends spicy pumpkin puree with sweet butter and vanilla cream. • Caramel Pumpkin--Pumpkin puree and freshly baked pie crust, buttery caramel and a succulent medley of plum, apple and nectarine. A dusting of holiday spice and brown sugar top this classic. You can find the collection at Bath & Body Works stores and www.bbw.com. |
