The pheromones thing does have some basis in science, but it mostly applies to ANIMALS who use scent as the PRIMARY INDICATOR they’re biologically ready for mating. As humans we have the ability to communicate verbally which kinda superscedes any need for that mechanism. That said, I have noticed that after dating someone and being around them for a period of time you do start to form a positive correlation between their natural scent and happiness, security, etc. Note that’s natural scent, not sweaty-ass BO. I’ve had several partners that would love to “smell” me and tell me I smell good even though I wasn’t wearing any specific colonges or other fragrances. It takes time for that positive correlation to form though, so It’s probably not going to do you any good on your first fucking date.
I’ve definitely dated women who smelled better than others, some of whom I very much liked their smell, others not so much. Dated one stinky lady who was an awful kisser, and we broke up for other reasons (bad kissing was due to a super weird/aggressive technique, not not smell or chemistry).
This has had near zero correlation of overall attractiveness or suitability though. Especially given that most of the time you shower near daily, and if you’re not showering for an extended period you’re usually both not showered and go smell blind.
