From Duncan Martin
If sweet, musky perfumes remind us of breast-feeding (21 October, p 14), I wonder whether any researcher has ever looked for differences in reactions to perfumes between the breast-fed and the bottle-fed? As one of the latter, I find the natural smell of a woman far more attractive than most perfumes, many of which repel me. Till now I have always blamed the perfumers – but perhaps it is all my mother’s fault.
