Lately I have been curious about the chemistry of scents. More specifically why do some scents suit men and some scents suit women?  And why do some of these scents turn us on (for lack of a better term) and some disgust us?  Is there something in the actual scented liquid that we are drawn to?  Google would probably be something I go to. I could type in something like, "the science of smells" and check out the first three websites that pop up. The second page can go screw itself, by than google has become hopeless.  Don't even mention the third page! The third page of google is like some weird wormhole and the only things that actually match your search is probably only a couple of letters.  Smell might pop up a couple of times on the second page, but it will have nothing to do with science. It would probably be about farts or something like that.  Farts and scents, they go hand in hand, yes?  I could also google the gendering of scents.  Axe is made for men, their scents are associated with men and women seem to like it (sometimes.)  Vanilla is a ladies scent, and men often enjoy the smell of it on a woman.  Someday I will write a lengthy and detailed research paper on this topic.
