How can a smell affect my libido?
Your nose is merely vehicles for channeling smells to the right place. This is to the ‘smell receptors’ located on the edge of our brains at the top of the nose. These receptors go straight into our ‘limbic system’ - the part of the brain that deals with feelings of happiness and pleasure (including our sex drive).
How do we recognise different smells?
When a smell molecule arrives, its size, shape and electrical charge determines where it fits on our smell receptors. And where it fits tells our brain what the smell is and how it should react to it. Certain smell molecules cause the brain to behave in certain ways. For example, dopamine molecules tell it to release ‘happy hormones’ that make us feel good - and even aroused. And this, in essence, is how Passionelle Patches for Women work.
