You’re best at these things in your 20s…

At 22, the ability to remember unfamiliar names is at its best

It’s an embarrassing reality, but we can all likely attest to forgetting the name of someone we’ve just met moments after they’ve introduced themselves. Do you own up to it and ask them again? Maybe hit them with a fun fact: According to a 2010 study, you peak at recalling a stranger’s name at age 22 (unless you are 22, in which case, maybe just don’t say anything). Men are most attracted to women in their early 20s, while women’s attraction to men seems to change with age. Using data from his dating site, OKCupid, co-founder Christian Rudder explains in his book Dataclysm that men find women the most attractive in their early 20s. And no matter how old they get, they still prefer women in this age range. Women in their 20s, on the other hand, prefer men about a year or two older than them, while women in their 30s are more tuned in to men a few years younger than them. At 23, life satisfaction is at its highest. All things considered, 23 is the magic number for feeling particularly satisfied with your life. The conclusion is based on a survey of 23,000 people in Germany. Your muscles are their strongest at age 25.

Which smell is seductive?

“Vanilla, jasmine, ginger, patchouli, sandalwood… all these are known to have great powers of attraction and provoke aphrodisiac reactions,” describes Ricci.

It’s akin to sipping cognac. First, a sweet, oaky elixir swirls around your palate. Then, its full-bodied warmth trickles down your throat as the aftertaste of caramel and a hint of exotic fruit linger on your lips. It is this heady rush of sensorial moreishness that By Kilian’s latest fragrance, Angels’ Share, seeks to encapsulate. Inspired by the evaporation of liquid in oak barrels as if ‘la part des anges’ or ‘the angels’ share’, this golden elixir tantalises the senses by opening with cognac oil, a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence and tonka bean absolute, enriched by notes of sandalwood, praline and vanilla for a creamy, long-lingering finish. “All the senses have a connection with the brain,” says Céline Manetta, consumer science manager for global innovation at International Flavors & Fragrances. “However, neuroscience shows that the sense of smell is specific as it connects directly to a particular brain area: the limbic system. The limbic is a well-known brain structure, very deep in the brain and is involved in emotions and memory. This is why we say that odours are powerful cues to evoke emotions and old memories,” she explains. When it comes to the science behind the aphrodisiacal prowess of scents, Manetta adds that “sensuality and seduction are core emotions for fragrances. Indeed, sexual arousal is controlled by a primitive structure in the brain, linked to the limbic system, that is highly connected to the sense of smell.”
