    Making Sense of Scents - From the Economist

    I love the idea of being able to distinguish another person's MHC from their scents.  I wonder if all the scents I've liked really have been suggestive of an unmatching MHC.  The writer's comment in the former article is interesting.  I think if you're able to choose a scent for someone else, then perhaps it suggests that you know what MHC types you are attracted to.  And if they like it on themselves, then they think it mirrors their own...

    In fact, choosing perfume/cologne may be very useful in chemical discernment, albeit in an oblique way...
