What Your Favorite Scent Says About You?
What’s your favorite scent or fragrance? Did you know, according to research, it can actually reveal quite a bit about you? Founder of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, Alan R. Hirsch, MD, has had several participants take personality tests, then he compared their personality to their favorite aromas and flavors. Here is what he found!

I'm a massive introvert, but my favorite scent is vanilla. I hate parties, and i am definitely not the life of them or center of attention lol. Also love lavender, although that's a more recent development since my anxiety ratcheted up 😅 the lavender points ring more true to me though 👍

I like lavender and honeysuckle, it’s just kind of nice but not overpowering. But my favorite is the scent of the earth after a spring rain, or rain in general. It’s just so cooling.
@nolmartmaridorgimeno7022

I think there’s a word similar to that: petrichor _a pleasant smell that frequently accompanies the first rain after a long period of warm, dry weather._
I like citrus scents, with a hint of floral. My fragrances are always on the fruity, floral side. They're feminine, but not overpowering. Citrus, lavender, honeysuckle, and vanilla describe my personality.
I find it hard to believe people whos favourite smell is vanilla tend to be outgoing life of the party. From my experience those people tend to call vanilla boring lmao. Its also my favorite smell and the complete opposite of me haha
Please make it a series. I like citrus, and I’m also a fan of the ginger scent. One day I saw ginger body cream and was curious. The first time I smelled it and put it on my hand, it boosted my mood. I felt captivated yet satisfied. Looking forward to you describing more scents in your next video

I would too actually. With most of their personality videos that are like this they would make great series if they continued them.
My whole personality is a mix of Fruit Scented and Honeysuckles, but i actually prefer lavender and vanilla. Though it seems kinda fun to know about this.
I'm a very big introvert, but my favourite smell is vanilla. Maybe it's because I love to bake and I sometimes add vanilla scent to my bakings. I'm guessing the smell just stuck to me with those warm and happy memories of baking something tasty. (◍•ᴗ•◍)
I think I enjoy lavender the most 💜 I use a lavender scented spray on my pillows before I sleep while I play gentle rainy sounds 😌
The animation is so lovely, I can almost smell the scents! I prefer vanilla, strawberry and anything that has shea butter in it. XD
Uuh this so interesting! I didn't know there was a higher meaning behind our smell preferences. And I feel like I have "phases" where I switch between vanilla & strawberry - mayybe depending on whether I'm in a more extroverted or rather introverted phase .. I'm definitely gonna pay attention to that now ☺
I loveeeeee lavender, this is nice to hear!
As a lavender lover, this was an emotional booster!
Personally love mint and cherry smells the most!
Your content is incredible
I'm drawn to flower smells, so roses and lavender fit me perfectly. I also love spice smells ❤️
I've actually made my own fragrance recently, I decided on ceder for the base note, and peppermint and sweet orange for the middle and top notes. But fresh peppermint is my favorite smell.
I love lavender and description is so true, I'm the best friend you can have and every friend can agree with that
I loves the sences of roses, lavender and fruits and the definitions fits me really well.
I love the smell of the pine with a pinch of lavender and cocoa butter on top🫡😄🍂
my favorite is lemon 🍋
I love the scent of roses, and i do fit that profile best I think!
I love the smell of fresh drizzling rain 🌧
Lavender all the way. I even bathe in it. I love the relaxation and stress relief.
Love rosy and fruity smells equally and I am a mixture of both descriptions. Although I've gotten a lot less pessimistic over the years
my favorite scents are petrichor, and cinnamon/pumpkin spice. what does this say about me? I think my favorite scent out of all the scents in this video is roses, and i find that analysis generally accurate, but curious to know what these other scents mean as well?

@SaltyScoundrel . Your favorite thing isn't like star signs something randomly chose from the time you were born. It actually has a lot to do with your neurobiology. your Brian chemistry told you that you like this scent. Maybe by studying your favorite things and why you like them so much we can actually discover something about are chemistry. If you do a research project on something and come back with the same results over and over and over again it becomes fact not fiction.
My favorite scent is lavender because it's also soothing and it relaxes me.
I actually love lavender and rose scents. Mainly flowery scents in general. And I think those two definitely rang true to me personally. My friends and I are rather close, and we actually had a discussion about “if I were a scent what would I be?”. And I got a lot of like leather store smell or spring meadow smells. Idk I just think it’s a fun thing to talk about with friends.
Obsessed with the art
Can you make a video about what you favorite drink says about you AND what favorite fashion style says about you as well?.
I love vanilla and fruity scents and both descriptions got me down pretty well😂
I love all of those smells equally , so I guess I'm everything!
i find it correct. i am a citrus lover and the defination is relatable
My top 3: 1. Cinnamom (specifically Vietnamese cassia) 2. Satsuma orange rind 3. Honey
My favorites are vanilla and honeysuckle, smells sooo good!
I love rose and fruits and both descriptions fit me very well
My overall favorite smell is eucalyptus. I just love it!
I love the smell of freshly baked food. In terms of perfumes, my favourite notes are vanilla, Lilly of the valley, white musk, musk and rose
I love every scent listed in this video 😅
hands down my fav scent is key-lime pie. I guess it's sort of citrus, but just got a more playful smell to it!
I definitely love and fit lavender, but my favorite smell is pine trees like fraiser fir. I found it last year by chance and it's instantly soothing to me.
i haven't really gotten to know that many scents, but i love vanilla!! although i usually hate the way it tastes, somehow! i'm definitely not extroverted though, i'm more introverted and in my own little world, i also think and reflect a lot, so the others were more accurate for me! ^^
What about the smell of bacon, rain, and fresh brewed coffee? I think they should expand the study!🙂
That smell when it's about to rain :) so peaceful
Awh yes that's so true! I love vanilla and lavender 💜 idk if i can call myself very kind but i always try to be nice to everyone even if they r bad. Even tho i ain't fully extrovert, I'm between extrovert and introvert.. I like making new friends and i do make but at first it's hard to reach them, i get nervous lol 😭 well, love ur channel!!
Love the scent of fresh roses and have many lavender candles and 2 lavender essential oil defusers. Two of my favorite scents for sure. When I have roses and that is very few and far between, I’m constantly sticking my nose closely in a rose to savor the scent.
I actually have two favorites, and they totally describe me! Lavender and vanilla!
Lavender and Mint 💝 👍 it's so good!
Hello, Koya, lavender is pretty close to my personality, because I'm growing to become a considerate person
As a person born with no sense of smell I never actually knew that having ability to smell things is this big of a thing really. My dad always told me it's like taste but lighter but I didn't know it can tell who you might be as a person.

Lavender, vanilla, citrus and fruity scents are my top choices! I don't really care for labels, so I guess because my personality is more "normal" (extroverted and introverted) with all the other traits that were explained in the video, some parts of what was said actually make sense
Roses is my favorite, i absolutely Love the smell. 🌹
Absolutely love cinnamon, ash, and salted air like the sea as some definite examples.
I like vanilla, but lavender is my favorite. Not an extrovert but I’m definitely a good friend, kind, loyal and I do care about people, sometimes even too much I think 😕 I like some fruity scents as well - my shampoo is peach scented and that smells great in my opinion😍
OMG WHAT JUST YESTERDAY AT NIGHT I WAS DISCUSSING WITH MY MOM MY FAV SCENTS, I SAID ITS LAVENDER AND VANILLA!!!! AND AT THE SAME TIME U MADE THIS VIDEO. WTHHH Also since u reminded me honeysuckle existed, I like honeysuckle scent now!! I mean, it's not like my fav or anything but it's calming
I love the smell of various types of fruits alongside Japanese cherry blossoms.
I love the smell of fresh 🍞 bread
i like all scents mentioned here but lavender!
Fruity, Honeysuckle, Citrus and Rose YESS I feel the same, thanks for this video :)
My favourite scent is Lavender. And as someone who has low self esteem, it made me really happy.
I love fruity and floral scents, rose, lavender, and stuff like strawberries. I think im kinda a mix of those too personality wise 😅 though those traits tend to clash sometimes.
I know this was just for fun, but it was so wrong for me. I love vanilla, but I'm an Introvert and HATE parties etc. LOL! I'm not a big Rose fan, but that fitted my personality. This was fun to watch just the same. Keeping them coming. Love the channel.

same! My favorite is vanilla (lavender being second, I love the scent of lavender a lot) but I am introverted and don't usually like parties. I am an INTP lol, and the personality described for rose lovers in the video fits me the best! I like the scent of roses but not as much as vanilla and lavender, so the video for sure doesn't really describe me though it is still a great video lol was very interesting to watch :D
I love Citrus and Vanilla scents, that feeling of taking a fresh shower in the morning, putting on a refreshing scent and now you are ready to go win the day.
I love the smell of lavender, it's in my top three favorite smells. I'm very introverted, but the description fits for that one. I also love vanilla, scent and taste, but that description doesn't fit at all. I also love the smell of the pages of some older paperback books. It's relaxing, calming, and I can't get enough of it.
Fruity one! And yes it's relatable 😂
Rose and fruits are my favourite smells in shower gels, lip balms, deotorants and other products like that. And the descriptions fit me perfectly, that is almost a bit scary 😅
I love odd smells like gasoline, dandelions or new leather. I also love a few normal smells like jasmine or citrus blossoms. And while I don't hate most of the smells mentioned in this video, none of them would even be in the top 10 of my favorite smells.
I love vanilla. It is fantastic! Also citrus.
I am obsessed with the scent of fruit, and when I heard the fruit part, it was too accurate to my liking 😰
Hmm if you ever make a pt.2 I would be very interested in cherry blossom or spice cause I normally adore a great Sakura blossom or if its coming winter the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg ^^ I want my apple cider now lol
I love the smell of rose oil, citrus and lavender; the definition isn’t wrong. Honeysuckle has been catching my radar lately.
LOL I love everything vanilla. Scents, fabric softener, air freshener, food....literally everything and I am a total introvert. Never outgoing. Never go to parties. Love time alone with a good book, an old movie and there you have it. So not extroverted 🤔
Big fan of fruity scents and, I actually can relate to the description.
All of those are my favorite 😊
It is actually very accurate
I love fruity scents and I feel attacked. I relate to the description so much.

I like a lot of scents that I don't have any one specific favorite. I am a blend of characteristics, and being a mix is what I am.
My favorite scent is anything and everything i smell is pretty good in the outside world but this is a pretty good video and nice beautiful information but there is food scents out there
My favorite scent is fresh bamboo. Greeny smell with a subtle hint of citrus, cucumber and floral scent.
My all time favorite scent is lilacs 💜💜
Mine is a toss up between lavender and sweet williams. Lavender because it’s such a calming and relaxing smell that helps due to my anxiety and I think of relaxing baths that has a slight spicy fragrance. Sweet Williams because I love the masculine scent they put out with a sweet floral scent mixed in, a very sweet and spicy fragrance like dragon’s blood! Mmmm! 🤤🫠
I love both roses and honeysuckle, and my personality fits neither of them.
Lavender didn’t realize it’s a very common scent I use for my room, cleaning etc
Whenever I wear a perfume or body mist my get go has always been vanilla for many years but I'm as introverted as can be. In the past few years however, I've used citrus scented, lotus scented, cherry blossom scented and green tea scented one's. But at home I absolutely love burning sandalwood incense. I really can't decide on a favourite scent, maybe my personality is a mix of many 😄
My favourite scent is rose and after that lavender and it was so relatable to me😄
