A new study on women’s ability to detect body odor comes to show that they are always able to pick out the smell of sweat, as opposed to men, who can be more easily fooled in this respect. According to the said study, when it comes to the body odor itself, both men and women are equally able to distinguish it. The difference comes, though, when the odor is mixed with deodorants and other fragrances, where men have problems sensing it, but women don’t.
In fact, it is very difficult to block a woman’s awareness of body odor. In contrast, it seems rather easy to do so in men and speaking of blocking, the study has also established that men’s body odor is harder to block than women’s. Though the vials of body odor from men and women were equally strong, nine of the fragrance chemicals blocked the smell of male underarm sweat, while 25 of fragrance chemicals blocked the smell of female underarm odor. Well, what do you think of this?
