A survey, conduced by American brand Caress, has revealed some interesting results.

This study surveyed over 1,000 people men and women, to see what comes out on top when it comes to verbal versus non-verbal attraction.

The findings showed that after the first meeting, twice as many men are more likely to remember what a woman smells like than they are to remember her name.

Interestingly, six out of ten men said that a woman’s touch and/or scent is what makes them desirable while women said good humour is one of the most important things when it comes to finding someone attractive.

Speaking about the survey, body language expert, Tonya Reiman said: “In a world where so many interactions happen online, the saying ‘actions speak louder than words’ has never been more true, especially when we power down the computers and approach someone for the first time.

“The best way to leave a lasting impression is when you look beyond someone’s physical attributes and break that contact barrier. Most people don’t realize that smell is the oldest sense, and touch is the sense we can’t live without. When you combine the two, they are intoxicating!”
