In our society, power to provide also means power to seduce, power to conquer and power to attract beauty. It is obvious that if you are ugly as hell and you are surrounded by models, either you are a Hollywood producer or a heir. Believe me, your wonderful personality will not do you any good, unless it comes with large sums of money. I am not saying here that all women are potential trophy wives or gold diggers. But the amazing women with long legs and shinny hair & smiles, the ones that look like top models showing in perfume-fashion-tv advertising, the ones that men usually turn their radar to do not value personality.
I have also mentioned that the loss of financial power did scratch men's self esteem. And when you don't trust your own power to seduce what is exactly that you do? You look for fragrances that come with this promise. Why? Because the guys in the advertising business did their homework!
As we continue our analysis of the launches of male fragrances for the last 2 years, we will find many relying on the fact that men are trying to recover their power to seduce. Find some of these launches here and regain your Casanova personna in one whiff!

NIR LAVI FOR PERRY ELLIS
Anyways, sexuality, the sex appeal, the power to seduce was always explored by the industry. Sex was always a tool for advertising and publicity(You can read the article about sex and perfumes I posted this year by clicking HERE), but these last two years it has been more intense due to the post crisis psychological and financial effects on men.
I must agree that when a man is smelling good (to my own subject opinion of what is good), I tend to think that he is "better looking", or that at least he has more sex appeal towards me. BUT, if I will see Nir Lavi in person and he will be sweaty and smelly... I can assure he will not look less gorgeous. In fact, I will not mind help him freshen up (LOL).
What I mean to say is, that crisis or no crisis, perfume will help the less fortuned. So why not to explore this fact when they have no money to offer as an alternative for the good looks they lack?

Another interesting example of how the world context end influenciating the perfumery. What i haven't noticed is that even niche segmentation sometimes velve into this matter of self-esteem desires translated in fragrance - the example is the Ambre Nuit from Dior on the list. But my impression is that in general niche segment end being more successful in transforming the concepts into fragrances, not only into marketing, as some massmarket fragrances unfortunately do.
Hi rick, go to my article perfume are not about sex?? and see that even niche rely on sex appeal to sell.
