Olfactophilia is the sexual arousal one gets when he smells something he finds pleasant. Yes, some people find the scent of hot dog water arousing. And yes, it’s a science thing even if it has folkoric roots that dates back to when the Ancient Egyptians bathed themselves in essential oils before doing the dirty.
But that’s not what we’re here to talk about today. We’re here to talk about the olfactory pleasures one gets when he receives a bottle of Calvin Klein CK Everyone or Hugo Boss the Scent Pure Accord. While buying it online is kinda scary — weird names, inscrutable ingredients and bizarre marketing terms —, we’re here to make scent gifting a little less risky. After all, we’ve smelt, worn and guaranteed they either are worth their “signature scent” status.

Fresh, aromatic and a guaranteed people pleaser: Calvin Klein CK Everyone can and should be sprayed post shower for a fragrance cloud that wafts like zesty orange, fresh tea and spicy ginger. The dry down however, smells like warm musk and amber that means you might want to refrain from leaving it in the reach of your female friend or family member.
For anybody else who has tried the classic CK One, this is a great refresher on a classic. And as for the band that wraps itself around the bottle, it can be repurposed as a headband. Or a really really fly book binder.

The Pure in Hugo Boss Boss the Scent Pure Accord isn’t a hint towards the virility you get when you spray it on. It’s a nod to how this fragrance is crafted using only three ingredients: spicy ginger, aphrodisiac-like maninka and sensual white suede. In fact, spritizing it on is like a really fun game of fragrance Russian roulette: it dries down warm and animalistic or aromatic and fruity depending on your body temperature.
