    I don’t think smell is even in the top 50 reasons that people end up with their partners, consciously or subconsciously.

    If anyone’s done a test of whether long-term partners generally adhere to those pheromone rules I’d consider that interesting, but initial attraction, scent-based or otherwise, isn’t what determines long-term compatibility with a person.

      Sure. That doesn’t mean smell isn’t telling us something though.
