It turns out we pick our perfume not only for its fragrance but for how it will interact with our\u00a0underlying body odour, according to a leading scientist.<\/p>\n

Dr. Craig Roberts from Stirling University explains that odour is critical in coordinating\u00a0a variety of behaviours in anmals and whilst we tend t0 think that\u00a0information in human odour doesn’t really affect human behavior, It actually\u00a0does.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a Fragrance Forum on “Body odor in biological perspective”<\/em><\/strong>, Roberts says: “Human body odor contains information which enables us to recognize other individuals and may be used in choosing our sexual partners.” \u00a0 \u00a0Recognizing body odour In this biolological perspective has direct implications for
\nthe use of fragrances, he adds.<\/p>\n

The doctor presented the way in which humans pick partners with different\u00a0MHC genes, exploring why we wear perfumes if odour carries such strong\u00a0preference messages.<\/p>\n

Preferred fragrance<\/h2>\n

Roberts explains that it was actually the introduction of clothing and\u00a0cooking that meant that our odour became unpleasant, initiating the trend of wearing perfumes, according to previous research.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“Fragrances might not simply\u00a0mask body odour, but rather\u00a0complement it, or even\u00a0enhance the information contained within it.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

“We found that when someone’s body odour is combined with their preferred fragrance, the resulting blend\u00a0is more pleasant to other people than the same odour combined with an arbitrarily chosen fragrance,” he\u00a0states. \u00a0“This suggests that choice of a fragrance is influenced not only by the properties of the fragrance itself, but\u00a0also by how it will interact with that person’s underlying odor.”
\nThis logic oould suggest that we are good at selecting perfumes for ourselves but not for our partners, as\u00a0we choose fragrances that match our body odour, says Dr Roberts.<\/p>\n

Research shows that our natural smell interacts with the perfume we wear and that these mingled scents\u00a0affect potential sexual partners.<\/p>\n

“One implication is that fragrances might not simply mask body odour, but rather complement it, or even\u00a0enhance the information contained within it. Another is that this interaction could be important in
\nunderstanding how consumers choose perfumes,” concludes Dr. Roberts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
