When it comes to finding your soulmate, does the nose know?
That's what Tega Brain and Sam Lavigne wanted to find out when they launched Smell Dating, a project that aims to match potential mates based on their scents.
In the latest episode of the HuffPost Love+Sex Podcast, I agreed to partake in Smell Dating to find out exactly what happens when you wear the same t-shirt for three days without deodorant in hopes of snagging a date.
Accompanied by Love+Sex Podcast producer Katelyn Bogucki, I spoke with Brain and Lavigne as well as Adam Simon, a listener and fellow Smell Dating participant, who inspired this episode. Finally, we spoke with Dr. Charles Wysocki, a meritas member of The Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, to learn more about the science behind scent and whether or not it has potentially attractive properties.
