Changes in female body odor during ovulation elicit measurable reactions in men, finds study

The University of Tokyo recently conducted a study exploring the impact of female body odor on male behavior. The researchers discovered that certain scent compounds in female body odor increase during ovulation and can subtly influence how men perceive and feel.

During the study, when these specific scents were added to armpit odor samples, men rated them as more pleasant and the faces associated with the samples as more attractive. Additionally, the scents appeared to reduce stress levels in the men. While this research does not provide evidence of pheromones in humans, it does suggest that smell can play a role in shaping interactions between individuals.

Previous studies have shown that female body odor changes throughout the menstrual cycle, with ovulatory phase odors being perceived as pleasant by men. However, the specific nature of these odors had not been identified until this recent study. Using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, the researchers identified volatile compounds that fluctuate across different phases of the menstrual cycle.

One of the challenges faced during the study was ensuring that the tests were conducted blindly, with participants not receiving any hints about what they were smelling. This was crucial in eliminating psychological factors and expectations from influencing the results. The researchers also emphasized that while the compounds identified may have behavioral and physiological impacts, they cannot definitively be classified as pheromones at this time.

Moving forward, the team plans to expand their research by involving a wider range of participants, conducting deeper chemical analysis, and investigating how ovulatory compounds may affect specific areas of the brain related to emotion and perception.

For more information on this study, you can refer to the article published in iScience titled “Human ovulatory phase-increasing odors cause positive emotions and stress-suppressive effects in males.” The DOI for the article is 10.1016/j.isci.2025.113087.

This research sheds light on the complex relationship between scent compounds in female body odor and male behavior, opening up new avenues for understanding how subtle cues can influence social interactions.
