I love the way a guy smells right out of the shower (of course), but I also love the smell of cologne. I doesn't really matter what they're wearing, but for some reason, the smell of cologne on a guy drives me crazy!!! Sometimes, I think it makes a not so attractive guy, more attractive to me. Maybe its just me. I don't know, but I definitely get turned on when a guy wears cologne. Yum. ;P

One of my friends and I were talking about this just this week. Of course we like the smell of freshly washed skin and shampooed hair (herbal scents... not bad!). Clean-woman smell, good.

But what got this conversation going was a woman we both passed in the grocery store. Women generally wear a stronger scent than men, unless that scent is sweat. *grin* This particular woman smelled of...

Apple pie.

Fresh baked, flaky, sugary goodness. *grin* Heaven. The way to a man's heart, you know...

Unfortunately I have little to no sense of smell (very little on good days) because of a lifetime of severe allergies. I can vaguely remember the scent of perfume on a woman, but it has been years. I don't have allergies as bad anymore and occasionally I can smell things (but not that good).

i've read about people with immune systems too much alike not being attracted to each other. i've also seen that the "attractive scent" actually has something to do with the bacteria that have colonized your sweat. it's that combo that produces your signature scent that attracts... if you're male that is.

Is anyone aware of credible evidence supporting the contention that human beings produce pheromones naturally ?

In a related question, do human beings possess the requisite receptor sites for pheromones ?

Biology and bio-chemisty accept their existence, and account for their purpose elsewhere in the animal kingdom, but we have a relatively small surface area for the reception of olfactory information, and have a comparatively low dependence on our sense of smell.
