Women looking for that special someone might want to think twice before spritzing Chanel No. 5. A new study suggests that a woman's natural scent may be all she needs.

This article states what I suspect most males already know. One wonders whether gay men have the same acuity for female scents emitted during ovulation. Was this investigated in the study?
“Recent research shows that a man's testosterone levels, which are linked with sexual interest, are significantly higher when they smell the shirt of a woman who is ovulating. These findings could lead to the development of new fragrances that mimic this effect, and answer basic questions about human biology.”
We are all animals and this only proves that the link between humans and other animals are not that far apart. Ladies, please remember what happens in the wild when the males catch that scent, LOL.
The studies coming out on line in the last few days are really far out there. I think it must be time to for those grants to given out again. Let’s see, THIRD hand smoke, kids with sweet tooth, linked to drinkers and now the call of the wild by scent. Can’t wait for the next study or the next comedian, whichever comes first.
I guess we old people will be the only ones still buying that Channel #5 now, LOL, LOL.
Most perfumes are noxious and used to heavily. I know guys, including myself who have not gone on a second date because of too much perfume and or make up. Be natural.
this isnt new or recent.
personally i hate perfume, and most people that end up married or with someone usually find out later how they really smell and dont like it.
you find the person that is right for you by smell, and if you dont like the smell then you are too genetically close to them and not supposed to be with them.
its true I love a woman that stinks of body oder there nothing like being on a crowded train or bus and getting that sent of a woman on a hot humid day it gets me moving with thoughts of rommance.
This "study" has nothing to do with perfume!!! And even if it had I'm not looking for the cheap "love" of horny men with higher testosterone levels!! My perfumes are like second skin; a signature, a personality trait. I wear perfumes for myself but not to please men! This is not the '50s anymore!
This is incredibly sad & like Mitsouko said - perfume isn't even mentioned in the results of this recent study ! I'm a guy and like most guys, we have fetishes. Perfume is my biggest, and women like lovenia, are where it's at. Especially the older women, who know how to wear it ! And when the hell did everyone become so sensitive/allergic ???

Hello?
Hi Mr.Smith, group of scientists here.We are calling to see if you would like to participate in our latest study?
What study is that?
Well, we are looking for a few good men to come in and smell 3 day old T-shirts of sweating ovulating women.Then tell us how horney their filth makes you.
Sure, I love sniffing the dirty clothes of women, anything for science.
