  • Did you know different body scent means different things? Even certain personalities are linked to particular scents that can surprisingly reveal a few interesting things about us, according to research.
    In this video, we're about to break down some ‘scent’ studies for you. Here are a few of the things our body odor reveals about us.

      Scent is an underrated, but very powerful tool when it comes to dating, and pleasant natural scent is like a cheat code in that regard. H.G. Wells has famously been romantically involved with many women while not being particularly handsome, and one of his more consistent lovers, Moura Budberg, attributed her attraction to him to the fact that "his body smelt of honey" (if I'm to believe my sources)

    I've always noticed that women smell slightly different when they're ovulating or menstruating. They also seem more attractive and their skin feels softer while ovulating.
    Also, whenever someone starts to get sick, they smell different. Interestingly enough I saw an article that came out a few years ago that talked about this. It was something to do with the bodies cells suffering from ketoacidosis when it's fighting off an infection.

      I've noticed too that ny husband smells different when he is aroused. I guess that is covered by attraction in the video. I can sometimes tell who is in a room I'm about to enter if I get a whiff, but it's not all the time. And different people smell different. Sometimes an odor can be very distinct and I'm not sure why. I guess I'm sharing because I want to know if this sounds familiar. Also what is it like for you having hyperosmia?

    As a woman, I find scent to be a very powerful tool. I naturally have a heightened sense of smell than most people, I think. When I am on my period or about to bleed, my sense of smell is heightened even more. When catching a good, "manly" scent of cologne, I immediately get turned on, even if that man isn't conventionally attractive. Just by the way he smells can get him up to a ten. So it can be really frustrating if a woman with a stronger scent comes in my presence. I also have my own scent, and love the way my skin and hair smells. It rubs off onto my clothes, and they in turn smell so good! However, I cannot stand the smell of dog, and can always tell if someone has a dog by they way they smell. Scent of dog to my nose is what fingernails on a chalkboard are to my ears.

Everyone noticed it, but no one said anything because they didn't want to embarrass her. Turned out their relative had cancer and didn't know it until it was too late. So yes, a sudden change in body can mean a potential health problem.

      Our brains are programmed to dismiss many of the details about ourselves... so we don't constantly notice our noses interfering with our vision, or our own body smells interfering with what little olfactory information we DO get from the rest of the world... SO there isn't much we can even do about that...
      As for testing colognes or shampoo, you CAN find a source of odor that's at least a little stronger than you normally are. It doesn't have to be a "bad" odor, just unique enough that you can definitely tell if it's covering the cologne or shampoo rather than the other way around... Colognes and Perfumes are designed to COVER other odors. They're not usually antimicrobial or offering some other organic chemistry to target and alter the sources of odors, but to aerate their own odor profiles to distract us or to inundate our olfactory system so we don't notice the other odors... That's sufficient for you to simply test your cologne against something unique and strong, even if it's no more than spraying your hand and then waving it a discrete distance under your nose while hovering over a garbage can...
      Shampoo, on the other hand, is first and foremost a detergent for your hair, and hair is a textile. Your skin also secretes oils that coat the hair and penetrate it... SO a quality shampoo has to be at least a solid degreasing agent. You don't need it to strip off an engine block from a decade of sludge, but if it can't remove the odd little oil smudge from a piece of clothing without destroying it, then you may not have a quality shampoo, regardless of how good it smells. The oils in your hair will repel the fragrance and it runs down the drain anyway...
      This degreasing nature of shampoo is also where we come across some of that advice about NOT washing our hair every single day or even every single time we shower or bathe... BUT what (exactly) you do with all this information is ENTIRELY up to you. I hope this helps you out, and that if you do discover your shampoo isn't cutting the grease or mustard, you can find a reasonable alternative... If you're in the States (or you can still find it in your country) actually "Formula VO5" is decent shampoo... and their "Extra Body" is almost engine degreaser quality... haha... I keep a few bottles of the stuff SPECIFICALLY for the laundry, because it's also about as CHEAP as shampoo gets. It leaves almost no residue at all, so a light follow up with your favorite fragrant wash or a conditioner is sufficient to scent your hair as well as about anything on the market. ;o)

    It's crazy how much scent plays a role in physical attraction - whether we want to admit it or not (or body weight/BMI also has pretty dramatic impact on it, another problem with being overweight and a potential health indicator)
    For one thing, people will generally find members of the opposite sex (unless you're homosexual) with a dissimilar immune system more attractive - though I should note because The Pill is a hormonal treatment it can potentially invert this. This also doubles as a natural defense against inbreeding, as you typically
    will find the scent of your immediate blood relatives offensive (or at least not attractive)
    The last thing I want to point out is apparently everyone has their own unique scent, just like your fingerprints.
    The scent of my Ex is forever burned into my brain (it's actually a source of immense grief but that's a separate thing)
    It just kinda happened by accident one day when we were younger and fooling around, first time I noticed it and that was it - like being hooked on crack. It's indescribable how potent the effect can be when you find that one perfect match, head swimming like you're drunk and near uncontrollable, limitless libido. No other girl I've noticed has had anywhere close to the same effect :/
    Supposedly a man's scent can have a calming and regulating effect on a woman's cycle but there's probably more studies needed to confirm that (I wouldn't doubt it though).
    Lol we like to think that we're special, that we're somehow above nature and the "lesser species" but we're animals too, bound by the same rules - just (debatably) a lot more intelligent.

      This effect is inverted for women taking oral contraceptives
      so if you get together with a woman on the pill she will dislike your smell when she stops taking it (menopause?).
      If men are sensitive to MCH smell too they would be attracted women on the pill that aren't attracted to those mens smells.

      Crushes are our own desires pushed onto others. We never truly know who others are, even after decades of being around or with them. I'm sure you'll find someone you're comfortable around eventually, that's the key, and it's good you notice it and don't get drunk on lust and make mistakes with who you're with. Just take your time, things will work out. I'd say be careful listening to what some might tell you though. Trying to convince you that you're some term being thrown around these days. Be very careful with labeling, especially labeling yourself. We spend our entire life understanding ourselves, it's too sad to see people putting themselves into categories and limiting their own growth and self understanding at any age, especially a young age. Good luck, God bless, and remember to be patient, it takes time.
