I bottled my sweat as perfume — men say my body odor is ‘sexy and exciting’
She’s got a nose for business.
Wanessa Moura, 29, wanted to concoct a unique scent to attract men. After her ex and her current beau praised her natural aroma as “sexy and exciting,” she was inspired to bottle and sell it.
“In addition to the fruity notes of mandarin orange, bergamot and pink pepper, my perfume has a special, super intimate touch: my sweat. It’s a mixture of passion and mystery,” she told NudePR.com.
The model, from São Paulo, Brazil, said the Fresh Goddess fragrance is meant to “awaken and instigate attention” from others and act as an aphrodisiac for the wearer.
“My natural smell entices men, so I used drops of my sweat as a base for the perfume’s fragrance,” she continued. “My sweat was the most important ingredient in the formula for this love and sex potion that my perfume became.”
In each bottle, she mixed 8 milliliters of her sweat — for “a touch of sensuality and femininity” — marketing it as the “ideal perfume for dating.”
Moura said her devout followers agree, claiming one fan praised the product for “fulfilling what it promises.”
The unidentified wearer claimed she offered one “sniff in the neck” and had men falling at her feet. Her co-worker reportedly fell in love with her almost immediately, requesting a second date less than two days after the first.
“It is the ideal perfume for dating and enjoying pleasant experiences with your partner or attracting the attention of those you like,” Moura declared.
The sweat-scented fragrance is sickeningly reminiscent of the TikTok trend “vabbing” — using vaginal fluid as perfume — that swept the app last year. Women hailed the sticky siren hack as the key to attracting bachelors out on the town.
Though body odor tends to evacuate a room, it could have beneficial effects in certain situations. A study published earlier this year found exposure to other people’s smells could help ease social anxiety.
The phenomenon hinges on pheromones, the natural chemicals we emit that play a role in attraction. One past study demonstrated that men can smell when a woman is turned on, while another suggested that single men stink more than taken ones.
One woman even claimed birth control affected her perception of pheromones that her partner secreted.
