My husband also has an aroma I find very pleasing. I don't think it's all pheromones, I do think humans are scent specific. But then again, it could be I'm genetically programmed to appreciate his genetic aroma. LOL. Maybe another female would not find his aroma so pleasant.

Don't you suspicion that things like that we may/or may not notice on a conscious level play into who we find attractive? I don't think it's all cultural or emotionally determined.

If you close your eyes and think of the really important people in your life,..... can't you remember their smell?
I can remember distinctly how both my grandmothers and my grandfather smelled. Each was different and unique. If I think about them, I can smell my husband, my son, and my daughter, also. Each different.......

When I was growing up, my sister and I had seperate bedrooms. When Grandma came to stay, I did not want to sleep with my sister, I wanted to sleep with grandma. Grandma smelled good, my sister did not to me. Of course this just could have been plain old sibling stuff.

I read a similar article that also went on to say that women who were on the pill had skewed senses of smell, that led them to be attracted to the wrong type of man.
