SCIENCE DAILY — Apr 12 — With Basisnote, the individual smell of the other party can be recorded in the profile and then checked to see if it will be pleasant for us. Even before going on the first date. The start-up from Bern has worked together with ETH to develop a fast test to determine your own body odour and enter it as a code in a database. If the flirt partner has also entered their smell profile, you can find out within seconds whether you would like their smell. All of this works by taking a saliva test. The test will appear on the market this year in cooperation with an online dating provider. FULL ARTICLE @ SCIENCE DAILY
“According to Hämmerli, Basisnote is really just applying Wedekind’s T-shirt study to a standardised test system. ”
* Persons can mask their own body odor using antiperspirants / deodorants / perfume fragrances.
The paper “Cross-adaptation of a model human stress-related odour with fragrance chemicals and ethyl esters of axillary odorants: gender-specific effects” at Flavour and Fragrance Journal April 2009
Dr. Charles Wysocki (behavioral neuroscientist) and Dr. George Preti (organic chemist) exposed subjects to a potent elixir of armpit. Then they tried to mask those odors with a series of pleasant fragrances, supplied by a firm that supplies manufacturers of products that control or mask underarm odor. Sniffed alone, the underarm odors smelled equally strong to men and women. When fragrance was introduced, only 2 of 32 scents successfully blocked male underarm odor when women were doing the smelling; in contrast, 19 of 32 fragrances significantly reduced the strength of female underarm odor for men. Women are less easily confused than men in their ability to detect body odor, but they can be confused using the right fragance to mask body odor.
* Smoking persons are less able to smell.
* Until right now, Wedekind’s T-shirt experiment seems only good for short term mating / flirting.
How Basisnote can prove the Wedekind’s T-shirt experiment is the correct path to find better compatible mates for a long term relationship with commitment ?
* Is Basisnote’s matching method only valid for white persons of European ethnicity or it can be used by person from Chinese / Japanese ethnicity, Indian ethnicity, “white persons of Hispanic” ethnicity ?
* Is the method valid for “interracial couples” ?
