The Scent of A Woman
Funny letter in the Times today regarding the ever-confusing Swedish study on lesbians and which hormones they like to sniff. It’s from a fragrance artist in Alabama who said that in 10 years of perfume research, she’s had cause to study the scent-preferences of over 100 lesbians. She writes, “What I have noted is a huge difference in scent preference between lesbians who characterize themselves as ‘more feminine’ and those who describe themselves as ‘more masculine.’” Basically, the girly girls go for the “floral” scents while the butch girls go for the “woodsy” ones. Maybe instead of using hormones, the Swedes should’ve tried Fantasy and Perry Ellis. Or really mixed things up by having them all sniff Cumming.
