How to: make him swoon

Now girls, it goes without saying that often a simple batting of our eyelashes or a pouty lip is all it takes to get what we want from our guys (pretty nifty eh?) But if your man is a little harder to budge, never fear. I happen to have a few bits of the beauty kind that are sure to have him swooning for you in a second.
Perfume – a man’s sense of smell is like his photographic memory. They remember a sweet-smelling girl as much as they remember a great-looking one. So make sure you’re smelling scrumptious (without going OTT), whenever he goes in for the kiss hello. Hint: Britney Spears Fantasy is a winner.
Still on the fragrance front – nothing says delicious to a dude like a fruity-smelling head of hair. Invest in a shampoo and conditioner like Clairol Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Moisturising Shampoo and Conditioner, which smells like fresh coconut and orchids - and prepare to be seriously nuzzled.
Nothing says kissable to a boy like moisturised, shiny lips. I’m loving MOR Lip Delight in Peach Nectar for its gleamy sheen and mouth watering smell - I bet he will too!

What do you like to do to make a boy swoon?

I love fruity smelling hair! I don't really have any tips for making a guy swoon... just act natural.

I agree with Bide, being natural is the best thing anyone can do :-)

Fiance loves my Giorgio Armani code perfume....that is always a winner. But normally all I have to do it give a subtle yet sultry look and he is weak at the knees !
I love the sound of the MOR lip balm. Yum !

those are great tips. I love fruit smelling hair. Umm i mainly just put a light gloss on my lips with maybe a subtle shimmer, bat my mascara clad eyes (to make them appear bigger) and i put perfume on all my pulse points, but i put it on my chest instead of neck, my hubby has often complained of a mouth full of perfume when trying to kiss my neck.

That photo made me giggle! It is so funny. A full dinner plate in front of my man seems to make him so happy and he speaks to me so very respectfully and says thankyou every day at the dinner table!! So it's food that'll make my man swoon. I know, it's really quite hilarious - my cooking isn't anything special either, even though I try my best at it most days.

Hmmm I find the lip gloss very hit and miss... Guys don't like to be left with sticky lips or a sticky cheek. I like the Rimmel fruit tubes, they are very light and taste heavenly my man always loves kissing the gloss off my lips cause it tastes and smells so good!
I alos find they remember a signature jewelery item; like a large statement ring or a busy necklace. Something that stands out and they will actually notice definitely makes them remember...

I love to make myself smell nice for my bf, and look pretty for him.
the main thing for me to make him swoon is to feed him and to make him laugh and smile. I think humour and good convo and food are the main thing that can make a guy swoon. LOL

i agree with you sparkles. my man doesnt like lip gloss too as it stays on his cheeks when i kiss him or on his lips. he always rubs them off. lol. and yes, i agree with the large accessories. sometimes if its a nice top or dress, my bf will remember too and want me to wear them all the time!

I think a great smile, a signature, intriguing fragrance, and the natural makeup look - which as we all know takes a lot longer to apply than it looks! I agree with food being the way to a man's heart too ;>)

I agree with the hair smelling great I can remember many occasions where I have been complimented on my hair smelling good enough to eat, anything coconut or fruity is a winner in my books :)

I LOVE the Clairol Herbal Essences hair range! I'm actually using the Hello Hydration shampoo and conditioner at the moment and boy, does my hair smell good! I always get compliments on my hair, when I use it...so I just keep on using it! Beautiful scent, bargain price and keeps my hair healthy! Couldn't be happier! : ) Apart from that, I agree with Edlie's answer about appealing to men, so keep smiling, Beauties. : )

Vanilla or coconut products work a treat as well as sweet smelling perfumes.

Totally agree with all the comments about fragrances. Hubby is particularly likely to comment on vanilla, gardenia or citrus-y type smells, or how my hair smells, so the Herbal Essences range is particularly good for that. He also likes the smell of Palmers Cocoa butter. Really looking at the list, anything that reminds him of our honeymoon and trips to the South Pacific! Honesty and just being yourself and smiling are also recommended :-)

Yes my man loves a floral or fruity fragrance and also loves to run his hands through my hair so I love to keep my locks smelling and looking great. Also I think men in general think "less is best" when it comes to the complexion. Be friendly and polite and never look like a snob, they pick up on that straight away - no negativity!

My bf always says I dont have to do anything to make him "swoon" he prefers it when I dont go to a lot of effort. Weird :P Kinda sucks cuz sometimes you go to alot of effort and just want him to tell you how beautiful it is :P Silly men.

MOR lipglosses are fabulous, they have such a lovely texture and delicious smell...
Yeah my boyfriend doesn't seem to care about how much effort I put in, as long as I'm not in a scary mood ;)

Guys seem to love vanilla. Whenever I wear a warm vanilla scent I get loads of compliments and attention. Body Shop Brazil Nut Body Butter used to be a weapon of choice of mine, too - I got sniffed a lot when I wore that!
