A floral-scented patch claims to ignite a woman's sex drive by mimicking dopamine in the brain without putting chemicals into the user's bloodstream, according to a Local 6 News report.Women who use the clear patch Scentuelle are instructed to put it on their wrist and smell it every hour, Local 6 News reported. The sticker contains a secret combination of scent molecules.The company that makes Scentuelle said it is not like other pills and potions."It does not enter the bloodstream," Scentuelle representative Hillary Reynolds said. "Really, it works on the mind versus the body. It is supposed to mimic dopamine."Dopamine is a feel-good chemical produced in the brain that, according to some sex therapists, plays an important role in a woman's sexual energy."What recent research is showing is that during initial stages of a relationship when you are in that initial infatuation stage, when they look at brain images of people in that state, their dopamine centers of their brains all lit up," Sex therapist Laura Berman said.Neurologist Alan Hirsch, who has studied the connection between scent and sex for years, said smell may help women by reducing anxiety and removing inhibitions."We have not actually studied this specific patch; however, there may be some method of how it works," Hirsch said. "It might work through the placebo effect."The company that makes the patch said it take about a month to experience the full effects of the patch.
