If you’re trying to seduce your man, you might want to put down that bottle of Chanel No. 5. Why? Well, it won’t have any effect on his libido.

In fact, you might fare a bit better in the seduction stakes if you order a pizza and rub it all over yourself before you start making your moves.

According to some new research from the Chicago Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, there are four key smells that instantly get men in the mood for love.

These smells have the ability to get him all hot under the collar and actually increase their blood flow to a certain body part.

No they’re not expensive perfumes or scents that remind them of happy times – they’re smells that are all associated with food. Well... they do say that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach...

Sex and pizza? Eh... yes please!

Researchers discovered that the scents most likely to turn on a man are doughnuts, the scent of a freshly cooked pizza, strawberries and popcorn. Yes, we thought the popcorn thing was random too but who are we to judge?

These scents trigger something in your fella’s brain that instantly get him thinking about sex. So if you want a night of passion, either roll around in one of the aforementioned ‘smells’ or, you could just take the easy way out and buy him a box of doughnuts on your way home from work.
