The chemistry of families: Linking body odor composition to olfactory perception
Body odors inform human kin recognition. However, underlying chemical mechanisms and how they relate to body odor perception are still unclear. The present study therefore simultaneously examined perceptual body odor similarity according to human raters, its chemical basis and the link between the two in human families. The study included 33 raters who assessed body odors collected from 60 odor…
