This idea was sparked by a thread in the Female Fragrance area and I think it's an interesting topic - does scent make someone sexy? What is sexy?
I guess everyone would answer these questions differently and to me no amount of 'sexy' fragrance would make someone who had no confidence, humour or energy 'sexy'. I certainly do see how perfume can provide the illusion of sexiness and certainly when some who exudes all of the aforementioned qualities wore a fragrance that appealed to me - then yes I probably would feel all hot and bothered under the collar. But without those other components the scent is nothing but merely a fragrance to admire, which has no reflection on the person wearing it other than that they may have 'good taste'.
Secondary to that the idea of 'sexy' is very subjective - some people have claimed that one need be mature to be sexy but I strongly dissagree. Being 'young' or girlie is certainly not mutually exclusive to being sexy - and for that matter I don't think 'young' and 'mature' are necessarily exclusive either! I know many a mature yonug person and many youthful people in their 50s, 60s and beyond.
Rather than label people with a number or stereotype (i.e. that young women who like pink and fruit fragrances cannot possibly be sexy) in order to determine if they are sexy; wouldn't it be better to work out what it is that we find sexy and strive for those qualities?
I'd much raher be young and open-minded than 'mature' with a will to put my negativity onto others.
