Have you ever wondered why you and your bestie have completely opposite tastes in men? Well in all truth, Love actually is… science. Believe it or not, there is such a thing as the science of attraction.
That’s right, falling in love has a lot more to do with our brains than our hearts. Zaweer Ebrahim from the fragrance brand Playgirl, breaks down the science of attraction into 7 simple factors.

1. Looks matter
Yes, beauty exists on the inside, but when it comes to the science of attraction, looks do matter. Someone’s smile might pique your interest or the way they dress appeals to you. Simply, the way someone looks on the outside can easily grab your attention and pull you in.
While this might come across as shallow, looks are just the very beginning.
2. Smells and sounds
Pheromones, baby, they’re important! Good smells, like fresh flowers, can evoke feelings of attraction. A good perfume, like Playgirl VIP Paris Glitz EDT, or cologne, can attract the opposite just as easily as a stunning smile or stylish outfit.
The sound of someone’s voice can also play a vital role in the game of love.

3. Personality magic
The next factor in the science of attraction has everything to do with what’s on the inside. Often, positive people hold a special appeal. Being kind, having a good sense of humour, and being a good listener can make someone even more attractive. It’s like having a magnetic personality that draws others in with friendliness and warmth.
4. Similar interests
While physics says opposites attract, when it comes to love, having some similarities is key. Meeting someone who shares the same interests as you can help form an instant connection. Sharing hobbies and interests can also create a unique bond between two people, making things more special and enjoyable.

5. Feeling comfortable
The way you feel around someone is incredibly important when it comes to the science of attraction. If someone makes you feel safe and at ease, you’ll often feel more drawn to them.
Being comfortable around a potential love interest allows you to shed your layers and get to know the other person on a deeper level. This allows the chemistry to flow and spark.

6. Chemistry spark
The spark of chemistry is vital to any relationship. Sometimes, it’s instant and difficult to explain, other times, it builds and develops. Regardless, once the chemistry is there, so is the attraction.
As Robin Scherbatsky famously said, “If you have chemistry, you only need one other thing … timing.”
7. Time and friendship
Attraction can grow over time. Being friends for some time can make attraction stronger, similar to planting a seed and watching it grow into a beautiful flower.
“Remember, attraction is a natural part of life, and it’s different for everyone. Enjoy the journey of getting to know people and what attracts you to them.” – Zaweer Ebrahim
