Of our five main senses smell is the strongest. So, how can you capitalize on that? The right cologne, of course. Cologne can make you more attractive in just five seconds. According to many studies, it’s the number one reason why a woman will choose you—or not.
So, nope, not your intelligence, humor, or looks. Your smell. It’s all about the smell.
But, you see, not all colognes are created equal. Some may annoy her because they’re too strong, which isn’t what you want. In addition to hating how you smell, she may have allergies that your cologne triggers. Not a good look.
After much research, it was found there are 10 colognes that will convince her to give you a try. Ranked from the lowest to highest, these are the best of the best.
