Though her relationships never seem to reach long-term status, Jennifer Love Hewitt, serial dater and author of The Day I Shot Cupid, doesn’t seem to mind doling out relationship advice. She may not be able to keep ‘em around long, but you can’t say she doesn’t know how to reel ‘em in, “I carry McCormick’s Pure Vanilla [in my purse] — the baking kind — and dab it on my neck,” she tells Us Weekly. “Men are attracted to the scent! One time, I put it on and four different guys were like, ‘You smell amazing!’”
While we aren’t big on reaching into our spice rack to attract the opposite sex, her latest bit of male ensnarement techniques isn’t so off the mark: Vanilla has been touted to be an aphrodisiac, so you may pull in a hottie or two from the scent alone. But Vanilla has some other great benefits too: according to Alan Hirsch, MD, founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, “If you smell a delicious aroma before you take a bite of something indulgent, you’ll lose the sensory excitement earlier,” he explains, “this cues your body to feel content sooner, so you’ll eat less.” So ensnare a man AND lose some weight? Add pampering to the equation we say, screw chocolate, bring on the vanilla! Here, some amazing vanilla-scented products for your triple-threat needs.
