The exercise classes, the fad diets, and of course, the Spanx — they’re all part of the war we women continually wage on flab. Well, now you’ve got a new weapon with which to fight the battle of the bulge: Perfume!  It seems certain scents can make you appear at least 10-pounds thinner (okay – now you’re paying attention!).
Dr. Alan Hirsch of Chicago’s Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation waved different scents under the noses of nearly 200 men, asking them to estimate women’s weight.  The aromas ranged from citrus-floral (think Eau de Givenchy or Dior’s Poison) to lily of the valley (think DK’s Cashmere mist — or back to childhood: Muguet) to floral-spice (think Michael Kors or Bulgari).  The result: the floral-spice scent took 12 pounds off a women’s weight, in the eyes of the male testers!
Other great options for that slimming floral-spice scent includes Marc Jacob, Giorgio, Armani’s Mania and Calvin Klein’s Eternity.
