Our body odors ... fascinating read

Why single people smell different

There is a wealth of psychological and biological information stored in our scent, but for some reason we choose to ignore it.

I suspect our rejection of how we naturally smell is because of a century of marketing by corporations who make billions by making us feel disgusted by what's natural.

Invent a "problem", convince them they have it, then sell them the "solution".
Brilliant!

BTW, it's also the recipe religions use.

There is genetic coding for odor. The gene ABCC11 produces something that bacteria in the armpits can feed off of, which then creates odor. This same gene codes for wet or dry earwax. The gene is present in Africans and Europeans, but is absent in some East Asians. The bacteria have nothing to feed off of so odor is not created.

Don’t forget that when one shaves/waxes “those” personal areas, one deletes the “scent traps“ covered in those exact pheromones designed to assist the species in procreation. Just sayin.
