According to a study published in Frontiers in Psychology men and women perceive the pleasantness and exposure to scents different. [1] The participants included 18 subjects between 20 and 36 years of age, half of which were men and half were female. Three different scents were repeatedly sprayed 40 times in random order with a pause of 18 seconds in between. The results were that both men and women equally did not want the same odor time, however the pleasantness factor declined more sharply for men than women. [2] More information can be found at:
