“…Indeed, androstenone is rated as more pleasant by women who had a sexual intercourse experience with at least one partner, compared to those who reported never had sexual intercourse. Finally, the unique study comparing the hedonic perception of androstenone in relation to gender ( Ferdenzi et al, 2019 ) found no sex differences for any of the perceptual variables, including pleasantness.…”

“…More recently ( Seubert et al, 2009 ), the pleasant vanillin odor was rated as more pleasant by women compared to men whereas no difference was observed for the unpleasant hydrogen sulfide odor as well as for eugenol, a bimodal pleasant/unpleasant odor. In addition, it has been shown that men assessed patchouli oil as more pleasant than women ( Trellakis et al, 2011 ) and women assessed phenyl ethyl alcohol as more pleasant than men ( Ferdenzi et al, 2019 ). Interestingly, in hyposmic populations, no sex difference was observed before treatment whereas after treatment (theophylline) women assessed pyridine and thiphene as more unpleasant than men ( Henkin, 2018 ).…”

“…Although 3M2H is only one of ~120 compounds [ 22 ] that comprise body odor, it is an “impact odor”, meaning that it carries the characteristic scent of body odor [ 23 ]. Furthermore, almost 25% of the population has a specific anosmia to 3M2H [ 23 26 ], but this anosmia has not been connected to any olfactory receptor. Identifying receptors responsible for perception of 3M2H and body odor may have implications for social communication, malodor prevention, and receptor coding mechanisms for conspecific odors.…”

“…Recently, Ferdenzi et al showed a large interindividual variability of sensitivity to major constituents of human axillary odor 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid (HMHA) and (E)-3-methylhex-2-enoic acid (3MHA) within two populations. Prevalence of anosmia was determined as 8% and 19% for HMHA in France and Madagascar respectively, and 25% for 3MHA in France (Ferdenzi et al, 2019). If there is any linkage between specific anosmias to body odor compounds and their involvement into human social communication, still remains to be elucidated.…”
