Men are from Mars and women are from Venus, but how do their olfactory senses stack up against each other? We find out in the pages that follow.
SCENT OF A WOMAN WHAT BRANDON LIKES ON HIS WOMAN "I would choose F4 because it's more soothing. F3 is nice, but it's rather unusual, not like anything I've smelled before." JUNE'S TAKE ON HIS CHOICE "I'm fine with F4, but it's a little too classic for me. I might use it when I'm older, have more money and am surer of myself." WHAT JUNE LIKES I like F3 because it's youthful, sexy and nonthreatening. It's also strong, which will last me through the day."
MANLY MUSK WHAT JUNE LIKES ON HER MAN "I like M4 because it smells nice and leaves a good impression. It is a very attractive scent, one I would imagine someone creative using." BRANDON'S TAKE ON HER CHOICE "M4 smells quite good, I'd have to spray a lot of this for it to last the day though!" WHAT BRANDON LIKES "I would pick M3 because it's sweeter, more sophisticated and more classy, something I would wear for corporate meetings or functions. It also has a partygoer vibe to it, so it's really adaptable; it's edgy and really grows on you."
SCENT OF A WOMAN WHAT ERWIN LIKES ON HIS WOMAN"I like F1 because it's sophisticated and elegant. When I sniff the scent, I imagine my wife wearing a nice dress and going to the Esplanade to watch a musical." WHAT JASLYNN LIKES "I like F1 because it's the most floral. I love fresh and floral scents, and hate strong, seductive ones." THE STARS ALIGN "I think that scents are more important to men than women because Erwin remembers the scent I wore when we were dating. Maybe that's why we picked the same scent," says Jaslynn.
MANLY MUSK WHAT JASLYNN LIKES ON HER MAN"I like M2 because it has a distinctly strong smell that is musky yet fresh. I think mild floral scents on men are a bit wimpy and would prefer masculine scents on guys. It suits his personality as he's the clean cut, macho type." ERWIN'S TAKE ON HER CHOICE "M2 has a nice talcum powder smell. I wouldn't mind wearing it." WHAT ERWIN LIKES "M1. It's the most manly of all. I can't stand fruity and floral scents."
SCENT OF A WOMAN WHAT WILLIAM LIKES ON HIS WOMAN "I'd pick F3 because I like fresh, fruity scents on women." YI QIAN'S TAKE ON HIS CHOICE "F3 is super sweet. I expected him to pick that because all men like things that are feminine, sweet, sugary and nice." WHAT YI QIAN LIKES "I like F2 for its powdery scent. It's something I would wear at night."
MANLY MUSK WHAT YI QIAN LIKES ON HER MAN"I like M3 because it's mild, fresh and not cloyingly sweet; I prefer my man to smell fresh rather than masculine. It also matches his easygoing personality. But he likes musk, so M3 is probably not something I would get him." WHAT WILLIAM LIKES "I'd pick M3 as it has just the right amount of spiciness and woodiness, and it smells manly to me. I would use it for dinners and work."THE STARS ALIGN"I'm surprised he picked M3 because most of his scents are musky," says Yi Qian. "We like each other's natural scent, which might be why we picked the same scent" adds William with a smile.
