From Guy Cox, Sydney, Australia
The story on odours of very young children and teenagers makes me wonder if researchers live in a bubble. I looked at the published study and they don’t ever mention pheromones. The sweet smell of infants is, as they say, designed to promote parental affection. It is a pheromone. The musky smell of teenagers is a pheromone to attract affection of a different kind, and it works.
