Psychologists Nosed Odor Test On Women
Psychologists Bernard Locke and Charles H. Grimm report in the Journal of Applied Psychology that in a test of 69 educated women aged 19 to 50 with perfume use history from one to 25 years, recognition of perfume cost differences was only slightly above chance and floral odor identification averaged under 25 percent, with rose hardest to identify. The study notes the limited scope and calls for further research amid large fragrance spending.
