But even if it turns out that the popularity we’ve seen around vagina-influenced products is due to the celebrity attached to them, it’ still changing the narrative. There was once a time where you wouldn’t read the word “vagina” written this many times in a piece of content outside of a medical journal or study. Today is National Fragrance Day and we couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate than to talk about vaginas. If that seems odd to you, it may be because you’ve forgotten that the scent of a woman was a hot topic of conversation before we began talking solely about the spread of the coronavirus. I recently had a house guest, who after showering, came up to me looking a little sheepish and quizzical. “So … what’s up with that Flying Fox body wash?” ( Flying Fox is my beloved, now-discontinued fave from LUSH.) The reason my boyfriend’s brother wasn’t feeling Flying Fox was because of the presences of indoles. What are indoles? Indoles are a chemical compound that can either smell like jasmine (jasmine is naturally indolic) or like feces. They can also be created synthetically, so perfumers use them to intensify a floral fragrance. To some people, indoles smell like bad breath. Others get cat pee or body odor.

As a former migraine sufferer myself, I know it’s important to become aware of your own personal triggers across the senses,” says Mastenbroek. “From a fragrance perspective, start with individual note fragrances rather than complex ones, then as you build up a repertoire of ‘safe’ smells, you can branch out into the more adventurous and complex,” she adds. “Eventually you can build up a bank of fragrances that you can feel secure in.” It’s exactly why Shan Boodram, certified intimacy educator, author of The Game Of Desire, and host of Quibi’s Sexology with Shan Boodram, debuting April 6, is excited about the idea of vaginal scents being popularized. There is not much definitive research around migraines and odour, but studies show that 25% to 50% of migraine sufferers have an increased sensitivity to odours during their headaches,” adds master perfumer Ruth Mastenbroek(who is a former migraine sufferer herself). “Your sinuses can be irritated by a single component of a smell that causes them to swell. Once swollen, the sinuses do not drain properly, and the resulting build-up of pressure can cause a headache,” she continues. For most of my life, I’ve had to be mindful of my diet, my environment, and my stress levels to keep my migraines at bay, but when it comes to fragrance, I’ve always found it hard to know exactly which types of fragrances to avoid. When discussing the subject with my followers, a common theme that a number of people raised was the increased likelihood of cheaper, synthetic fragrances triggering their migraines. I pose the question to Mastenbroek, who explains that a material that does feature regularly in cheaper fragrance is synthetic vanillin (not the vanillin molecule present in natural vanilla). “It is possible that migraine sufferers may have a lower tolerance for vanillin,” she explains. “Rose oil and Japanese cypress have also been mentioned, but with such complex ingredients, it is a huge challenge to understand the mechanisms involved.” But, more than anything, I wondered why vagina scents were selling out like the latest drop from Supreme? Are we so obsessed with celebrity that we’re willing to pay anything to get close to them? Or, are we, as humans, naturally curious and drawn to this powerful biological organ? Is vagina truly poised to be the hottest new scent of 2020?We have two trigeminal nerves on either side of the forehead, which link to the eyes, nose and mouth and certain scents can activate this nerve,” explains Sonia Garçon-Pichon, practitioner in olfactory therapy at Edeniste. “All humans have olfactive receptors, but our sensitivities can vary from person to person,’ she continues. “Migraines can be triggered by intense, concentrated smells, which are linked to an individual’s sensitivity.” Unfortunately this means that there’s no easy to way to figure out which fragrances cause an individuals’ migraines specifically without actually smelling them first. It sounds a little weird to shower with soap that mimics the natural funk a human body gets after a few days, but to my nose, that jasmine body wash smells glorious: heady, sexy, humid. It also smells a little dirty, something that so many modern perfumes are missing and that the legendary classics had in spades. What’s that old adage about everything beautiful having a secret ugliness? Our liability is limited and excluded to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law. We will And there was no room for the rise of product lines like Perfect V, Queen V, Kitty Candy, Happy Girl, and Flamingo’s Mons Mist. So if high-priced vaginal-scented home products are the way to get the conversation started, then I’ll be the first to invest.

Boodram, who once did an experiment to see if wearing her own vaginal fluids on her pressure points would make her more attractive to those in her immediate vicinity (the conclusion: yes), doesn’t necessarily think that trying to bottle the scent of one’s vagina will catch on.
