A study confirms that those who similar smells get along better. They can become friends easier. It is the study reported by a group of scientists led by researcher Inbal Ravreby of the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. It was published in the journal Science Advances.
The research team says people are looking to stimulate similar body odors to test their compatibility. Samples of same-sex friends without romantic ties were collected, but with love at first sight in friendship.
Twenty pairs of friends (half male and half female) between the ages of 22 and 39 were examined. Scientists asked them to avoid being near pets and certain foods. Also advise them not to sleep with their partners. Finally, they provided them with a shirt to wear.
Finally, the shirts were scanned by a machine, the “electronic nose“. It analyzes the chemical composition So the scientists found that the scents of befriended couples were closer than those of non-friends.
For verification, the team recruited “noses“. All this to make you smell the scents of two friends and a third person. The noses managed to recognize the couples. One explicable reason is certainly the time friends spend together. It is a way of sharing Common things All this affects their smells, for example places and meals.
The scientists wanted to see if the scent helps predict the compatibility of friendship between two people. They examined 17 unknown individuals. So it turned out that the likeness of smells predicts good chemistry 77% of the time. On the other hand, in 68% no chemistry.
