In the end, that's nothing odd on this. On one side, researches showed that man's armpit sweat does contain pheromones, and if they do not make women enter in heat like animals, they do change some hormonal concentrations and brain chemistry. On the other hand, one of the most appreciated and expensive sce... |

Yes, we know, he wants a sexy large-breasted blond, she wants a brunette large-shouldered stud. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but many researches have shown that it's in his/her nose, too. Most mammals have an olfactory formation called the Jacobson organ, on the top of their mouth, where the vomer b... |

You know the typical 'skunk' in each company. It can be big, hairy and very pleased at how people panic when they see him. He should know that it's not the mighty blubber-filled body that which makes an impression on them; they are rather looking for the gas mask. But don't blame him for that...as... |

1. Skunks appeared 40 million years ago, evolving from common ancestors with the weasels and polecats (no doubt about the last ones...). They evolved only in the Americas, where they are still found today, from Southern Canada to the southern tip of South America. The oldest skunk fossils are 10 million years old (th... |

A movie does have image, does have sound, but you cannot ... smell the action. However, this 'problem'could soon be solved. Maybe not so soon, but the first step has been made: computer-controlled aromas. (After that happens, not many people will want to watch wildlife documentaries...). If the image of a r... |

Amid the fierce debate if humans do synthesize and use pheromones or not, a new research made at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, N.C., and The Rockefeller University in New York City could have detected a gene encoding for one odor receptor (of over 400 smell receptors in humans) believed to be a pheromone ... |

Globalization may bring us together, but when it's about beauty, our culture, geography and even religion mark our cosmetic and aesthetic tastes. Not all women are the same. There are important cultural differences which determine the beauty of their facial expression. Apart from its personality and fashion tast... |

The Beckhams like to shock. We all know that and we also happen to have realized ever since they relocated to the States that they have brought the art of not doing much and still being extremely famous to perfection. It's true, however, that the male half of the couple hasn't had the best of luck with his ... |

Sexual attractiveness is much more than a look. Even if 80 % of the information we receive about our partner is visual, there is more. Researches have shown that women who look more attractive also smell better. At least at certain periods of the month, while symmetrical men, found very attractive by women, do smell ... |

There's no itch as far as the bears' habit of rubbing their back against trees is concerned. In fact, this has been found to be a scent mark, warning others to keep off from the real master of the place. Many theories tried to explain this habit. Some believed females could do it when they were at the peak ... |

We look at the Middle Ages and we tend to think that precarious hygiene and "skunk" scent characterized the human kind till relatively recent times. Wrong. A new exhibition in Rome reveals to us how people during the Bronze Age employed refined and sophisticated perfumes, typically a mix of natural spices and olive o... |
