Sexual Chemistry

In this month's issue, "Psychology Today" has an article on how scent may determine who we fall for and as well as our appeals to the opposite sex. Supposedly, we can smell those with different immunity system than our own and are attract to them.

I've heard of animals use pheromone to pick their mates and though it's plausible that human also pick their mates with pheromone, I don't think it's an accurate test anymore due to abundant usage of synthetic fragrance (shampoo, soap, lotion, perfume/cologne, etc).

Hm...maybe overuse of synthetic fragrance is one of the reason behind today's high divorce rate.
