Experimenting on one's perception

During lecture, I did a small experiment on perception, the experiment involved samples of two types of perfumes one was the scent of male perfume hugo boss, the other was a females perfume nina ricci, the aim was to see how everyone tells the difference bewteen the smells and which one they think is the females and males perfume, majority of the people guessed correctly the reasons were because the scent was familar like the females perfume is all sweet and fruity, and others choices were influenced by what everyone else thought and so most of the participants decision was influenced. There was suprisingly and strangely one or two who guessed incorrect but only because they were trying to provide a different answer.

The outcome of the experiment showed how sensation has an impact on ones perception.
