New Study Challenges Belief in Men's Ability to Detect Female Fertility by Scent

Research finds no compelling evidence linking women's body odor to their fertility status, contradicting previous studies.

The study involved 91 men rating the scents of 29 women at different stages of their menstrual cycles.
Men did not find the scents of women more attractive or pleasant during their fertile periods.
Chemical analysis showed no significant changes in women's body odor composition related to fertility.
Previous studies lacked direct hormonal assessments and had methodological flaws.
Researchers call for further investigation using robust methods to understand olfactory cues and fertility.
