The foods that make you smell more attractive
Garlic, alcohol, meat and even fasting can affect our body odour – and alter how appealing our scent is to others.
Each one of us has a unique scent profile, like a fingerprint. Everything from our personality type – such as extroversion, dominance and neuroticism – to our mood and health affects the way we smell.
"The past few decades have revealed that odour is shaped by our genes, hormones, health, and hygiene," says Craig Roberts, professor of social psychology at University of Stirling in Scotland. "Whether we are male or female, young or old, gay or straight, dominant or subordinate, ovulating or pregnant, sick or well, happy or sad."
