There are pleasant and unpleasant natural body odors, and not everyone perceives them alike. The thesis is a little flawed, though, since smell and pheromone detection are actually different senses. There is some scientific debate over whether humans, or all humans, can actually detect and distinguish pheromones since the organ that does this is pretty close to vestigial in people. If it does work, it is in the nasal passage, but our fairly-sensitive sense of smell input generally overwhelms any pheromone detection going on there.
Thing
This I understand, smells are from the past and present that have a revelence to the smellier.
Me I get a stand up smell to fresh cut grass, first time in the spring. I do not know why but I am much like horses finally released from wintering in a barn and froliking about in in the grass. First cut grass makes me want to roll about and and just inhale the smell, The smell of Honeysuckle or the smell of old roses makes me happy.
On to humans that spend a day cutting and bailing hay, the sweat takes on the smell of the hay and darn memories from childhood.
Smells are important , fresh bread baking, a turkey in the oven or grandmas perfume. Some other odd smells
get to us, the smell of gas and oil in an outboard mortar or the smell of diesel in a big craft.
Men I have a problem with that wear colone, I do not wear perfume myself unless I am [ or was] out head hunting.
I like the smell of a male, sweat or super clean. One thing I do not like is the smell of anything of a man but his own smell, disguised with some horrid smells from bottles.
This is just one female take on this, men may get off on perfumes women wear but I have my own take on this.
