Synopsis: men sweat more of a fatty acid that, when exposed to bacteria, smells similar to cheese. When sweat a sulfur-containing compound that, when exposed to bacteria, smells like onions.

I can't wait to try out this pick-up line: Hey baby, how about some cheese to go with your onion tart.

What a "cheesy" article



Seriously though, that is interesting. It makes sense that a man could put on a womans perfume and make it smell masculine, and visa versa.
