Regarding the "you put it on a card, not your wrist" is this: Putting it on the skin will automatically give it a more personified smell. Your human smell mixed with the perfume = person's scent Perfume on card = perfume's scent I think MatPat was trying to see if it was the perfume by itself doing all the "missing person" work, but didn't think to say it to us, or over think it in general.
Exactly! Test on the paper to find ones you like them on yourself to find the one that works best bc it will change on you. Got a men and women's sample the other day(different brands). I preferred to females despite normally wearing men's (I am a woman). Once I sprayed them on myself the women's began to smell like older lady vanilla and dead flowers the men's became less musky and more clean and fresh. One thing I can say is the women's lasted forever!
@@alexrusso6503ah thats bc colognes which are usually marketed towards men (although it is a perfume concentration and is not technically based on gender) it has less fragrance oils and a higher percentage of alcohol compared to perfumes.
11:58 Proust's Madeleine (or Madeleine de Proust in French) is actually a pretty common expression in France, usually referring to something (color, smell, food, ...) triggering a memory, so it's not as obscure as it may seem
Although, I do take a bit of offense in having MatPat describing a madeleine as "bland". Sure, its taste can be a bit subtle, but it's not like it doesn't have any flavor :/ (especially those with orange blossom water)
I’ve actually had experience with finding a smell that reminded me of a lost one. One of my grandparents (we simply called her “Grandma by the river”) passed away when I was young. One of my teachers recently had come back to a trip to Germany I believe, and one of the items she brought back was a bar of hotel hand soap that smelled EXACTLY like my Grandma by the river’s house!
my grandpa was an artist, he painted with oil paints, sooooo opening a bottle of linseed oil does it for me perfectly fine 😂 oiling my wood windows last summer was something
My mother-in-law was going through some stuff a few years ago after her grandma passed away, and found a bottle of cologne that belonged to her grandpa, who had been gone for like 25 years. She smelled it once and instantly started crying because it's exactly how she remembers it.

11:36 I can't believe I was trying to take a break from studying for my French literature exam... only to find myself watching a video where they end up talking about Marcel Proust's "Du côté de chez Swann"
You should do a video on the replica line! The whole concept is it’s bringing up memories. With scents like beach walk, sailing day, by the fireplace, coffee break! I would love to see a video of you guessing what the memory is supposed to be!
Recently, about a month or so ago, I randomly had a scent bring me right back to my childhood. I'm a mother myself now, and when my kid came up to me and wanted me to make her some soapy water because she wanted to go outside and blow some bubbles. So I went inside our kitchen, and pulled out some rather expensive dish soap that my husband bought and BAM! When I opened the bottle, it took me right back to childhood summers spent with my grandma in my grandparents' little vacation home. That was the exact brand that she used when she was washing dishes and making soapy water for me to use to blow bubbles with as a child. When I had sent my kid outside to do her thing, I immediately called my mom to tell her. My grandma died 20 years ago.. I still miss her
Matpat, I just wanted to say thank you for making your theory videos. I went through a rough patch. Nobody's gonna see this comment anyway, so I'll be honest. I was going to commit suicide. But do you want to know what stopped me? It was your videos. They gave me something to look forward to in life, and I could never thank you enough for that. You've been my idol ever since I was little, and if I had one wish it would be to meet you irl.
"[...] cause spoiler alert. I've only dated four girls in my life, and two of them were in elementary school." I took this quote a bit too much out of context (2:10)
It always amuses me to hear what is in a lot of these perfumes - many of the fragrances are also HEAVILY used in (or originally from) tea. Even many of the florals are used in medicinal teas, traditionally. Just seems humorous to me.
You should have had 2 unlabeled bottles and done this test. Have one a bath and body works smell and the other Missing Person. That way you could see if any of them made the testers remember someone.
Hearing the words "Missing Person" on a theory channel creates an immediate concern that the theory is Fnaf related (or at least some sort of indie horror game) 😂
I find wine interesting as someone with no sense of smell because they all taste similar to me. Even ones that are supposed to be sweet are just very dry. I tried some wine on a trip to Italy at a fancy wine-tasting event (I wasn't the one who came up with the itinerary), and it was still the same taste that I find rather nasty. I don't know what to make of this. Food Theory idea maybe?
"Taste" in actuality is heavily influenced by your sense of smell, so your inability to tell the difference in taste makes A LOT of sense and is completely normal!
Hey Matt! Great Video! I am a perfume enthusiast and will be attending a perfumery school in the fall to become a perfumer, and I think there are a few biases here. Firstly, it seems like you viewed the fragrances almost entirely from a chemical perspective (save for the mentions of memories) and focused your analysis through that lens. I think including the other, equally important side of fragrances in potential future videos on the subject would be helpful. Art. The process of making a fragrance is not dissimilar to that of making a painting. Aroma chemicals act as our paint and the skin our canvas. Secondly, in a similar vein, fragrances are meant to be worn on skin and are constructed to interact with the chemistry of your skin. Wearing the fragrance very well could change the results, as some ingredients carry vastly different smells on different skins. Despite my criticism, I am exceedingly happy to see you discuss fragrances and I really hope to see more! I hope my words here were helpful!
I used to work in a professional perfume shop and every scent is gonna smell a little different on every person, and the best way to smell test a “skin scent” like this one is to put a very light amount on your wrist and let it sit for a minute or so before smelling it. It shouldn’t be applied heavily at all, and when first sprayed it will be much stronger than it’s meant to sit during the day
I don't know why MatPat focused so much on romantic love here, the perfume just says it reminds you of someone you love and miss, so actually bringing the up the grandma is exactly the sort of thing it's meant to do. It was never meant to bring up an ex for someone happily in love with someone at present
Yes omg i've been looking for this comment! Seems like the obvious implication, right? Like why would you want to smell your ex? That's probably not the kind of emotional you'd willingly experience from a perfume.
my grandma used to wear the same chanel number five, it really started to freak me out when all of the popular girls in seventh grade wore the same chanel number five.
The “Stinky Cards” still kind of exist at places like bath and body works because they have cards for you to spray scents on, and then see how it smells.
Im so happy you mention Chantilly, my adopted mom was obsessed with it, she was born in the 30s. If any of us got a bottle for her she would cry and say it was too expensive.
I want more! You tested the scent on stinky cards. However, scents typically react when sprayed on our skin as they mix with our pheromones. I want to know if your team had different memories after spraying on their skin and smelling their skin at the different scent release intervals.

12:05 I love that what you called a "inside joke" is a real saying in france you will say that something is your "madeleine de proust" when it bring a lot of memory
I saw these TikToks and my brain IMMEDIATELY went to the movie "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer" and after watching this I'm still side eyeing the perfume creator.
I have one quibble with the testing in this episode. Using the "cards" might be removing the perfume/skin reaction that might be a factor in the intended scent. Body chemistry is a big unsung aspect of perfumes.
When I heard the pitch, my mind immediately went to “granny scent”. After all, it is the most likely candidate for someone to miss - childhood memories of the grandparents’ house are usually positive, which cannot always be said about exes. This perfume works like a horoscope!
Style theory idea: (Since you’ve talked about Sonic on all channels already except this one) What would Sonic’s shoes be made from to let him run that fast running for that amount of miles/not wearing out (Because he’s been wearing those shoes for FOREVER)
Missing Person Perfume- honestly my first thought was that there were all sorts of varieties that smell like different missing persons (before they went missing, obviously)
I have had a scent make me want to cry after smelling it. I found a candle that smells just like the attic of my Nana's old house. She moved after my grandpa died, and she died over a year ago, so the instant hit of such a familiar scent of a place I spent so much of my childhood in made me want to cry.
This perfume is just the result of someone finding the chemical equation to the Pokemon move attract made into a smell so you can wear it around your ex and get them back
13:00 i actually notixed this: manu times i smell random sents i Always have a Memory.. and while sometimes i can't really recall It bwcause i'm stupida i KNOW that i've smelled It once before haha
Steph is like, that's my man with his "stink cards" ❤😂❤😂 My Nonna got the biggest, most expensive bottle of Estée Lauder: Beautiful for every Christmas I can remember. She'd buy it, give it to my Pop, and he'd wrap it with that year's "bling" ❤ It was so cute!
I used to go to a perfume shop with my mother, I would go around spraying all the perfumes on what you call stinky cards, and then you would have an abomination of smell. It’s what I used to make my mother move on from the store to another shop in the mall.
Naming a perfume is a placebo effect is to add different smells and saying it will smell like someone, that person will trick their mind into rationalizing who they want to remember.
film theory idea: how long would the the bad guys ACTUALLY be in jail/what are the fines they would have to pay or any other punishment they'd have to endure?
Speaking of scents, I miss the classic Musk cologne, the one in the black bottle. I haven't used it in decades, but apparently they've changed the formula and it doesn't smell the same anymore.
I suspect that the perfume would be concocted to have notes of as many popular perfumes as possible, to strengthen the psychological effect of suggesting it should remind you of someone. If any one note is in common with the person you're remembering's smell, your brain can latch onto that .
Just so you know perfume mixes with the scent of the person's body and makes it different for every single person. So you need to spray it on your body or someone else's body to smell it properly
As a person with sinus issues, Ive only ever had 4-5 smell associations related to loved ones from my life and only 1 of them is a scent that i like and enjoy. Everyone else just smells awful to me xD
Matpat comes up with to strangest thing and ends up making them work. I am going to give him my props because I could never make a channel like this work.
Scent memories are for sure a real thing. My grandmother in law uses a specific laundry soap and my husband lived there when we met so I associate that scent with the first year of our relationship.
I've actually came across a smell like that before. I was walking with some friends in a local mall just chilling and getting some food after a job seminar. We walked past a Candy store and it smelled like a mixture of gummy bears, chocolate and something else I couldn't place. That mixture immediately took me back to like elementary school. I had a friend back then who I always hung out with that I always snacked candy with. I used to smuggle them in my Lunchbox to snack with her during break. I'm on zero contact with her now, she hurt me badly. The sent certainly didn't make me cry but it got me on a train of thought I wasn't prepared for. Scent is really powerful.
When you mentioned Proust's madeleine, I suddenly remembered hearing Steph say it in a GTLive once, and now I must watch them all and find out which one.
I’m surprised just how much more I understand this after completing PTSD therapy to retrain my amygdala. Also it has me itching to apologize to my therapist again for all the Hannibal Lecture references I used to understand the therapy. Side note my nose barely works - I can barely smell anything so that portion of therapy was difficult. I understand the concept though.
Yay! Love this new channel, I've always had trouble understanding style and Matt and the team break it down in a way I can grasp, even if I still don't understand😂
It's so fascinating because I've known of the Proust effect, but I have a great memory despite the fact that I literally can't smell - so I have a rare condition called Kallmann's Syndrome, and among other things, it resulted in my olfactory bulb not developing when I was still a fetus, and so I have no sense of smell.
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow because my ears have really been bothering me and this is one of the only things keeping me sane. Thanks, team theorist.
initial thought before even watching the video: this has to be that one effect i cant remember the name of. but basically its when you have a preconceived notion about something and therefore it makes you think a certain way. for the perfume, you're told from the get go that it makes you think of a loved one, so you're more likely to think of a loved one when you smell it. im interested to see if the smell changes from person to person based on that though. or if they do a control test with the label hidden to get the actual smell. this is just rambling at this point, so im gonna watch the video now lol EDIT: okay, hit the nail on the head with the placebo effect. i also forgot that perfumes typically tell you the scent of things.
Seeing Steph more on these channels has only cemented that Mat and Steph are perfect for each other. That Swann's Way anecdote was the lamest, dorkiest, most adorable couple thing I've ever heard.
I don't know why but when I hear terms like "Musk" or " smell of nude" I imagine my mom's.bathroom. a mix of perfume, body products, body odor, wet hair, and a steaming hot hair straightener. I don't know why but I have a that distinct concoction of smells when I hear those terms.
The confusion that hit me when Steph told me it smelled Swedish. I didn't know if I was to take it as a compliment or not. Until she told me she didn't talk about me. So I'm fine now.
"A certain smell could take me back to when I was young. How come I am never able to identify where its coming from? Id make a candle out of it if I ever found it."

I don't know why but my first idea was that a bottle ominously labelled "missing person" would smell like decomp. 🤢
BAHAHAHA LITERALLY SAME! It sounded so sus
same
i was like: is this a perfume arg?
Gross but I had a similar thought. Not decomp but I honestly don't know what else it would smell like.
Yeah, I thought it was based on a missing person. Sounds outrageous, but this world has shown me that anything is possible, lol. 😂
Regarding the "you put it on a card, not your wrist" is this:
Putting it on the skin will automatically give it a more personified smell.

MatPat talking about how his and Steph's romance is based on nerding out together is so sweet!
Signan froid is probably so happy right now
I suspect that the perfume would be concocted to have notes of as many popular perfumes as possible, to strengthen the psychological effect of suggesting it should remind you of someone. If any one note is in common with the person you're remembering's smell, your brain can latch onto that .
3:14 can realte
Just so you know perfume mixes with the scent of the person's body and makes it different for every single person. So you need to spray it on your body or someone else's body to smell it properly
As a person with sinus issues, Ive only ever had 4-5 smell associations related to loved ones from my life and only 1 of them is a scent that i like and enjoy.
Everyone else just smells awful to me xD
My favorite scent is rated R or whatever is above that now.
Matpat comes up with to strangest thing and ends up making them work. I am going to give him my props because I could never make a channel like this work.
Scent memories are for sure a real thing. My grandmother in law uses a specific laundry soap and my husband lived there when we met so I associate that scent with the first year of our relationship.
I've actually came across a smell like that before. I was walking with some friends in a local mall just chilling and getting some food after a job seminar. We walked past a Candy store and it smelled like a mixture of gummy bears, chocolate and something else I couldn't place. That mixture immediately took me back to like elementary school. I had a friend back then who I always hung out with that I always snacked candy with. I used to smuggle them in my Lunchbox to snack with her during break. I'm on zero contact with her now, she hurt me badly. The sent certainly didn't make me cry but it got me on a train of thought I wasn't prepared for.
Scent is really powerful.
you also gotta do one on the pheromone perfumes and see if they actually work
So, if I’ve never been in a relationship, than what would it smell like to me? Pure sadness, depression, Luigi?
15:33 Stat Trek: The Original Series.
When you mentioned Proust's madeleine, I suddenly remembered hearing Steph say it in a GTLive once, and now I must watch them all and find out which one.
I’m surprised just how much more I understand this after completing PTSD therapy to retrain my amygdala.
Also it has me itching to apologize to my therapist again for all the Hannibal Lecture references I used to understand the therapy.
Side note my nose barely works - I can barely smell anything so that portion of therapy was difficult. I understand the concept though.
Yay! Love this new channel, I've always had trouble understanding style and Matt and the team break it down in a way I can grasp, even if I still don't understand😂
It's so fascinating because I've known of the Proust effect, but I have a great memory despite the fact that I literally can't smell - so I have a rare condition called Kallmann's Syndrome, and among other things, it resulted in my olfactory bulb not developing when I was still a fetus, and so I have no sense of smell.
3:12 why do I remember this
I have a doctors appointment tomorrow because my ears have really been bothering me and this is one of the only things keeping me sane. Thanks, team theorist.
What a great sponsor to video pairing! Cheers Style Theory! 👏 👏
MatPat has improved A LOTTTTT in this last decade
initial thought before even watching the video: this has to be that one effect i cant remember the name of. but basically its when you have a preconceived notion about something and therefore it makes you think a certain way. for the perfume, you're told from the get go that it makes you think of a loved one, so you're more likely to think of a loved one when you smell it. im interested to see if the smell changes from person to person based on that though. or if they do a control test with the label hidden to get the actual smell. this is just rambling at this point, so im gonna watch the video now lol
EDIT: okay, hit the nail on the head with the placebo effect. i also forgot that perfumes typically tell you the scent of things.
Aww family
Yo u were first

Mattpat, ever since I’ve watched the Shein video I’ve been bombarded with adds from them💀
My favorite video game collectible stinky cards
Seeing Steph more on these channels has only cemented that Mat and Steph are perfect for each other. That Swann's Way anecdote was the lamest, dorkiest, most adorable couple thing I've ever heard.
6:40 which SCP is this?
Ah yes, another fellow scp fan
Welll.....its not a sphere
The designation number is between 200 to 300, preferably in the upper half.
Now I can't remember every skip is the vast and ever changing database.
Something I wanna see is MatPat making A theory about himself🤣💀
I don't know why but when I hear terms like "Musk" or " smell of nude" I imagine my mom's.bathroom. a mix of perfume, body products, body odor, wet hair, and a steaming hot hair straightener. I don't know why but I have a that distinct concoction of smells when I hear those terms.
The confusion that hit me when Steph told me it smelled Swedish. I didn't know if I was to take it as a compliment or not. Until she told me she didn't talk about me. So I'm fine now.
I love them showing more of the team
Smells like Mother's crazy sister Kate
"A certain smell could take me back to when I was young. How come I am never able to identify where its coming from? Id make a candle out of it if I ever found it."
