Scentbird X OkCupid Hook Up For Sexy Scent Study

The Data Doesn't Lie

NEW YORK, Feb. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Just in time for Valentine's Day, the experts on dating and the experts on scent hooked up to find out how olfactory factors into your dating life. Together, Scentbird and OkCupid are presenting the first-ever Sexy Scent Study, an exclusive data based look at how fragrance influences romance and attraction.

"It was such a unique opportunity to learn about the impact of fragrance on attraction," says Elena Lecue, CMO Scentbird, "The study shows that floral scents are considered the sexiest on women, while woody scents are the most seductive on men. Our top sellers at Scentbird fall into these categories — our customers know what they're doing! And no surprise 80% of singles say B.O. is a dealbreaker when dating."

"Different fragrances and scents impact how attracted a dater is to someone else, and if they'll make a move," says Michael Kaye, Head of Brand at OkCupid. "On our app, 73% daters have been attracted to someone because of their scent, and 57% of singles have actually hit on someone because they thought they smelled good."

Adds Jeniece Trizzino, VP of Innovation & Physical Product Development at Scentbird, "The chemistry of scent on attraction is really amazing. You could say scent is a crucial factor in partner selection on a subconscious level." 

OkCupid surveyed hundreds of its singles, asking everything from the likelihood of someone ghosting another, to which scents are considered sexiest on a first date.

"We then took the results a step further and pinpointed the most popular sexy scents created for women and men," states Bettina O'Neill Scentbird's SVP of Business Development, "and curated a shop on Scentbird.com for you to purchase and try."
