There was a bloke I once knew who was convinced that the route to being maximally attractive to the most amount of women was lined with an eye-watering amount of aftershave/cologne.

He maintained, for as long as I knew him, that this was a surgical strike straight to the cerebro-erogenous bullseye of A Woman’s subconscious.
