KEY POINTS

  • Emily Ratajkowski said she does not like scent on a man
  • The model prefers her dates "smell like themselves"
  • She explained that pheromones give her a sense of their personality

Emily Ratajkowski may have shared a tip for men who want to date her: ditch the cologne.

The 31-year-old supermodel got candid about her favorite scent on a man in an exclusive interview with People, published Wednesday.

According to Ratajkowski, she prefers that men just "smell like themselves" and not use perfume to enhance their scent.

"Oh my god. Men. I really don't like scent on men. I like them to smell like themselves," she told the outlet.

Explaining why she said this, Ratajkowski explained that she likes the smell of men's pheromones because they give her a sense of their personality.

"I say that and maybe I'll live to regret it, but I like the smell. I like pheromones. I like getting a sense of somebody based on their smell," she said.

Her revelation came as a surprise since she was recently named the new face of Viktor & Rolf's Flowerbomb fragrance, according to Page Six.

Speaking about her new campaign for the brand, the "My Body" author said she grew up knowing the brand so she's happy to join the Viktor & Rolf family.

"I feel like my 60-year-old aunt knows it, but so does my 12-year-old cousin. Flowerbomb is a fragrance everybody knows. I grew up knowing it," she said.

When she's not busy with her work engagements, Ratajkowksi likes to discuss a myriad of things on her "High Low" podcast.

Earlier this month, the "Gone Girl" star revealed on her show that she's done dating men who can't handle strong women.

"They're like, 'You're special. You've done it.' [But] they slowly get emasculated, and they don't know what to do with those feelings, and they resent you, and then they start to tear you down," she explained.

Her statements came about a week after she reportedly called it quits with "Saturday Night Live" alum Pete Davidson, 29. The two went out for a few weeks after she filed for divorce from her estranged husband Sebastian Bear-McClard, 41, last year.

Ratajkowski has since been linked to a string of men after the split, including artist Jack Greer, comedian Eric Andre and Eli Bronfman, the grandson of the late Seagram chairman and billionaire Edgar Bronfman Sr.
