CHANEL No 5 is the perfume with the most pulling power, according to a new survey.

Women wearing this classic scent have had more luck with men than anyone else, securing more dates and boyfriends.

One-in-10 women wearing Chanel fragrance have even met the man of their dreams when smelling of the feminine scent, according to the survey by Superdrug.

The second perfume most likely to nail a date is Be Delicious by DKNY, closely followed by Ghost.

In fourth place comes Eternity for Women by Calvin Klein, and Hugo Woman by Hugo is the fifth most likely to pull a man.

Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier, Cool Water by Davidoff and Angel by Thierry Mugler are also among the top 10 sexiest scents.

Superdrug's poll of 3,000 women shows that 85 per cent have been lucky enough to receive compliments from a bloke about their perfume.

Two thirds claim a complete stranger has told them they smell nice.

The average woman credits their choice of perfume for helping to secure approximately six different dates.

More than half of those polled believe it is important for women to have a trademark scent, and 37 per cent always buy the same perfume.

Steve Jebson, commercial director of Superdrug, said: "Fragrance has always been recognised as a real mood maker and women use it to add another dimension to their look and create mystique.

"This research underlines that to the majority of women the right fragrance can make or break their evening out."
