Perfume is Divine, Encourages Bonding, Relationships, Says Expert

A nursing and midwifery officer with the Niger State Government, Ms. Lois Adamu, has revealed that the power behind fragrances is beyond just inhaling the scent and the primary usage which is to smell good.

She said it goes beyond the personality of the user as it is known to be divine, godly and with the power to build and foster relationships which is important in psycho-social health and well-being.

The health officer stated this in Minna, the Niger State capital, on Wednesday when Totalprenure, a subsidiary of Total group of companies, and a non-governmental organisation, Aids for Women, Adolescents and Children International Organisation (AWACIO), empowered 44 youths after a six-week intensive training.

Adamu said: "Perfume is divine and has the power to form and bond relationships. You might walk into a room of strange faces but because you wear a good fragrance, people are bound to look towards your direction and ask questions about your perfume and from there, a relationship has started.

"Some perfumes have pheromones in them. These are extracted from male and female hormones and are blended with perfumes. The ones with male hormones work on the sensuality of females and vice versa, hence fostering relationships.

"Even in marriage and other relationships the use of perfumes cannot be over emphasised. Little wonder couples are always encouraged to spice up their bedroom life with several things in which the use of perfumes is one."
