Study Finds More Differences Between Men and Women In The Smells They Like

New research has shown that another difference between men and women is not just in what we see, it’s also in our noses. A UK personal care products company Radox conducted a nationwide poll to discover the top mood boosters for men and women.

The results of the survey showed that women find smells associated with the home most pleasing, while men enjoy the smell of food more. What is that they say, the way to a man’s heart?

Professor Tim Jacob, an expert in the science of smell at Cardiff University, says that women’s preference for scent over the visual stimuli could be explained by their heightened sense of smell.

‘Women have a better sense of smell than men, because their brains are wired to process scents more acutely.
