Do You Believe in Pheromones?
Some guys seem to exude sex, a trait often attributed to pheromones, the chemical signals that people supposedly emit when they're in the mood. But turns out, scientists have never been able to find evidence of such pheromones in humans.
In an essay published in the journal Nature, scientists say they haven't pinned down so-called "releaser pheromones" in humans, which would trigger sexual desire.
His Sweat Tells a Woman He's "In the Mood"!
I've heard that some women love how their man smells after he works out, and it turns out that musty aroma might be telling you more than you think. According to a recent study, the scent of a man's perspiration can subconsciously tell a woman that he's "in the mood."
Researchers in this study asked 20 heterosexual men to stop wearing antiperspirant and other scented products for a few days.
Follow Your Nose to Love
Scents are all the rage this season, and I'm not just talking perfume. This month's Psychology Today has a fascinating article about how natural scents determine our attraction to others.

Rachel McAdams Gets Into a State of Playful For Marie Claire
Rachel McAdams graces the cover of Marie Claire's March issue, looking gorgeous in her orange gown. Instead of a typical interview all about her upcoming film, State of Play, Rachel joined the magazine's book club for the month. In addition to discussing the novel she chose, Prodigal Summer, she also comments on attraction and relationships.
Women More Sensitive to Stinkiness Than Men
Well, I could have told you that based on purely anecdotal evidence (i.e., growing up with a teenage brother), but now I've got the scientists to back me up. According to a new study out of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, women are far more adept than men at cutting through fancy colognes to detect a dude's scent.
Apparently, men and women are equally skilled at detecting stink, but women aren't as easily fooled by cover-ups:
Underarm odors alone smelled equally strong to women and men.
Introducing Pocket Rocket (The Lip Gloss — You Dirty Bird, You!)
New from Urban Decay are eight flat-shaped, over-sized lip glosses called Pocket Rocket (£10.50). Adorned with (double-sided) photographs of hunks who change from being fully dressed into their skivvies as you turn the tube, these lip goodies are satisfying to your senses in more ways than one.
Firstly, the gloss glides on smooth, they're only the teeniest bit sticky and the shades are relatively sheer.
Love It or Hate It? Urban Decay's Naughty Never-Nude Glosses
Next month, Urban Decay is launching Pocket Rocket lip gloss, which aims to be a super-sexy way to show off your lips. The packaging is reminiscent of those kitschy ball-point pens from the '60s — you'd tip them, and a lady's clothes would magically disappear. This time, though, it's men who are being objectified, as eight dudes' outfits seem to slide off when the lip gloss is moved around.
