Aromatherapy experts believe they know just how to lead guys by the nose.

Research has shown that guys associate certain smells with falling in love, and that the top two aromas to trigger attraction in guys are vanilla and cinnamon.

Scientists have found that guys find that these two are the two smells guys find the hardest to resist.

This confirms aromatherapy expert's belief that cinnamon and vanilla are aphrodisiacs, as they claim certain aromatic plants exude oils that smell similar to human pheromones.

A combination of vanilla and cinnamon when you meet your online chat partner in person could set the wheels in motion for a bit of magic and a lot of romance.

Before meeting your online chat partner, take a long, relaxing bath with a few drops of vanilla essence to calm your nerves. Use a perfume and body lotion with warm vanilla undertones for a final touch.

If food comes into play during the date, try to find something made with cinnamon cinnamon buns, chai tea, cinnamon pudding and offer your online chat partner a taste.

Aromatherapist Francoise Rapp of the Melusine-Arom'Alchemy confirms that vanilla and cinnamon are warm and comforting scents: "Scientists have found that certain food-related fragrances like these stimulate our emotional and sexual appetites."
