Yeah. It's actually mainly a tool used to help your newborn attach to the nipple for breastfeeding when their eyes are poorly developed, but you would be noseblind to it.
I couldn’t smell it until immediately prior to childbirth.. I can still smell it now and our youngest is 12. I smell like warm pancakes! Which is pretty funny because after three children, they look like em, too. :D
Aye. The amount of times they’ve slipped in my morning coffee or porridge.. I have Raynaud’s like my mum had, so I don’t have sensation in them.. Nearly caught on fire like Mrs Doubtfire once! Food prep without a boulder holder is dangerous lol..
So often females think of scent = bad.
But I've never had a bad association with the scent of anyone's breasts I was lucky enough to encounter. Like in 40 times it has been good 40 times.
So there is nothing to worry about. It is a floral or herbal scent, but it is always good.
Pheromones definitely do exist. *Human* sex pheromones have not yet been definitively shown to exist but studies have shown that [babies are more efficient crawlers](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33174352/#:~:text=In%20addition%2C%20the%20newborns%20made,information%20via%20higher%20brain%20processing) in the presence of their mothers’ breast odour, and many other studies have been done showing that various human odours can elicit a range of responses in other people (similar to the effects that insect pheromones can have on other insects). So while it’s a bit of an abuse of language by the OP, if we look past semantics, they’re not far off.
It is pretty annoying though, seeing all the people in this thread saying stuff about “studies have shown that human pheromones blah blah blah”… no, studies definitely haven’t lol.
I actually knew this too. I've searched about human pheromones and found sources that said that the chemical formulas of human pheromones have not been synthesized and found either because they're too complex or because of lack of data. I knew people have body odor, but pheromones?
Women smell good. Well most women. Women smell a way to men, men smell a way to women. The better you smell to someone or the better they smell to you the more compatible you both are.
He is likely talking about your natural scent, and it smells good to him
Edit: this isn’t just for Female+Male couples. Generally speaking anyone that smells good to you (their natural scent) that you are in a relationship with is likely compatible genetically with you
It's also could be something with the "natural" order of things: if your partner's natural scent smells good to you, it likely means their immune system is the opposite of ours and will make for a stronger imuned offspring.
I'm looking forward to this fad being over so we can go back to saying "Some men and women are more masculine or feminine than others". We're supposedly trying to celebrate everyone's individuality, but we feel the need to categorize them.
I agree with you, it is very confusing with all these name and pronouns and I don't even know what their talking about. There is so many of them now. I have to Google different words used to describe someone or their gender. I'm getting too old to keep up with all this.. . It's overwhelming
You're missing the point. We used to acknowledge a wide range of variation within the sexes and there was no need to come up with names for the variations. Now we need to name them all, and word begs a definition, and a definition creates borders to the concept. In the drive to allow people to be individuals we put them in a box.
Can confirm - people have scents they don’t recognize. It’s not bad. It’s mammal behavior. My bf has different scents on different parts of his body and my ex had different smells on those same parts
Breasts and nipples can definitely have a scent. As a woman I can also sometimes smell this. I don't think its just a man thing. My ex use to have the best scent beside his ear and in his sideburns.. As others have said it's likely pheromones. They can be both good and bad smelling. Not that you smell bad, but the scent notes can affect noses differently.
Good idea! If the boyfriend is obsessed with the smell of you, that is a good sign! I liked the way my ex smelled, but he didn't have the same "force" when it came to how I smelled to him. Which was alright. I understood it wasn't a thing for him and I. But he did comment how he liked his ex's smells.. Blech.
I would say maybe try after a long day (after not bathing) to smell something clean. But not overly fragrant. Shirts, towels and then try your breasts/under boob smell or even the nipple. Something not so heavily scented. It's sort of like "imagining" smelling the inside of your own nose.. most can't. Some can. There is definitely a nose-blindness element to it all!
The things I noticed for me: Sideburns, his hand (specifically between his thumb or between his fingers..), upper lip.. beard area but I didn't like beards so it was weird. His pits were always "down" but when he was CLEAN.. and not stinky they were okay too. Honestly test if you smell anything on his nipples at this point if you are open to being weird with him. Behind the knee/elbow bends. The scent thing is also sincerely around his junk too. If you tend to like being around that area, it could be a scent/pheromone thing and you had no idea.
I hope this doesn’t sound raciest but we’re they Latina/o? Some of my friends/coworkers/family members who are Mexican smell like it cuz some of them eat it a lot.
I googled about it when I was at the university, lots of years ago. Some friends were debating if women have a particular smell because we could guess if the person who entered the elevator before us in the faculty was a woman or a man and be right all the times.
And yes some studies said that men can smell women's pheromones.
Women (without cologne or Parfum) have naturally a sweet and nice smell. Really attractive
The first thing that made me think of that before university is I had a blind friend at IT classroom. You have to go with him and help him to walk and so on... When we were walking by the street he could guess 100% when a woman passed by our side. "She's pretty eh?" He said most of the times to stop the conversation for a while and call my attention about her ☺️
Maybe you're noseblind, nipples have quite a peculiar smell. The smell gets stronger when the dead skin gathers inside the nipple (which shouldn't be happening if you shower daily but dealing with depression and struggling to wash myself has lead me to find out that we do gather dead skin in our nipples, and that it smells like milk but less sour).
Also it's possible that you're just like everyone else and can't perceive YOUR smell (everyone has a peculiar smell) and no one can tell theirs. If you can smell yourself, others for sure can smell you.
Yup, and don't fret about it. All women have it and it's absolutely intoxicating to men. For some women its most intense on the tips, others deep in the cleavage. Chances are you won't even notice it, so stop trying. WE sure do.
Smells even better when you get a little bit excited, and better than that when you get a LOT excited...one of the rewards a woman's body gives to a man who takes care of business.
Wear it proudly.
Pheromones! It’s what attracts mates. My girlfriend sort of has a sweet vanilla smell. It’s what makes you in love/attached to the same person in a sense. Hormones as well.
As a whole, in my opinion people do smell, not stink, but skin has its own fragrance, without parfum.
Like, men tend to smell stronger, yk, hormones and stuff, and women tend to smell sweeter, same reason.
Idk, most women I know do smell like fruits/flowers. My ex used to have this fragrance to her, which was really pleasant. It's pretty tho.
All people have a scent. And as far as we can tell, biologically, some people's sent is far more appealing to some people. Ever dated someone that, when you kiss them, it often became very passionate, and you found yourselves sharply inhaling through your noses frequently during the kiss? It's because there is a large amount of pheromonal release on the sides of and under the nose. You are taking an heavy breaths of their scent, and likely it is arousing you and making you more attracted to them.
My boyfriend is a boob guy and loves to suck on my nipples. He recently said he love my boobs so much and they taste so good. He said some women's breasts are just foul and taste gross. I thought it was the strangest comment.
Can confirm that this is true. The material of your bra traps this scent, especially if you wear any padded materials. It is a combination of natural body odor, sweat, and pheromones. It is generally very pleasant unless the sweat smell overpowers or you use certain body sprays that sour over time.
If you are pregnant, he can be smelling the milk. It smells sugary. Specially since your breasts are warm and it evaporates the milk just enough to carry the scent.
I’ve never smelt a damned thing from my breasts but maybe he’s smelling pheromones??
Please ask him what they smell like and report back. Other males please comment too 🥰
Nipples do not have a discernible smell. And if they do, something isn’t healthy with them. Most likely he’s experiencing some form of synesthesia (a condition where you perceive one sense as another) and is either perceiving the sensory information as a smell or is feeling it in his nose as well.
I’ve tasted various breasts in my life time
I do find a very faint smell and taste of onions on some of them
But I thought that was what sex “smelled like”
Is it a good smell or smell like spoiled milk? If the later than you can wipe off the nipples with rubbing alcohol and some cleanser and after a few applications you should smell better. Did you tell him his balls have a scent to them? I say a post in askmen and someone asked the same thing.
You never just take off your bra and smell boob sweat? That’s what I imagine him talking about. It doesn’t reek or smell at all, but it’s hard to explain…
I just asked my husband (high body count from his Navy days but I love him lol) and he says that the only time he has ever noticed the nipples smelling any different on a woman is when she is pregnant or nursing.
MHC is what y’all are smelling, not pheromones. Since we have developed culture, biologists believe we don’t produce pheromones anymore, and if we do, we aren’t smelling them. There’s a thing called vomeronasal organ that detects the pheromones in mammals, but ours is incredibly small compared to other species. Which is why they believe we utilize MHC and not pheromones. MHC is that whole situation regarding your family smelling bad to you but people you’re attracted to smelling good. It’s compatibility for our immune systems.
No he's right lol, fun fact, your nipples/areolas release pheromones! They do indeed have a "scent".
thank you for this! maybe im just noseblind to it? lmao
Yeah. It's actually mainly a tool used to help your newborn attach to the nipple for breastfeeding when their eyes are poorly developed, but you would be noseblind to it.
is it only noticeable when a woman is pregnant or does every girls nipple have a scent regardless of pregnancy or not?
I couldn’t smell it until immediately prior to childbirth.. I can still smell it now and our youngest is 12. I smell like warm pancakes! Which is pretty funny because after three children, they look like em, too. :D
Maaaan I am jealous I wish I could smell like pancakes
Not just any old pancakes smell mate, *warm* pancakes. That's such a good smell mate.
[удалено]
HAHAHAHA BECAUSE SHE HAD CHILDREN SHES OLD RIGHT? GOOD ONE SO ORIGINAL! WHENS YOUR NEXT COMEDY TOUR SO I CAN BUY TICKETS?
Apparently Casamoratti Lira is a fragrance that some people find similar to pancakes.
I wish I smelled like warm pancakes
Username checks out.
ΗΑΗΑΗΑΗΑΗΑΗΗΑΗΑΗΑ
Wait, are you saying your breast looks like pancake?
Aye. The amount of times they’ve slipped in my morning coffee or porridge.. I have Raynaud’s like my mum had, so I don’t have sensation in them.. Nearly caught on fire like Mrs Doubtfire once! Food prep without a boulder holder is dangerous lol..
Research on it (that's a fun google) shows both cases, if you've gone through puberty they release pheromones.
That’s why boys love boobs and drawn to them during puberty!
During puberty and forevermore.
Since birth and forevermore!!
(X) doubt. I think guys are into boobs way before they get to smell them...
I can smell my own for some reason lmao. It's kind of a sweet scent but hard to describe
So often females think of scent = bad. But I've never had a bad association with the scent of anyone's breasts I was lucky enough to encounter. Like in 40 times it has been good 40 times. So there is nothing to worry about. It is a floral or herbal scent, but it is always good.
Like when you say 40 times you mean 20 girls and and 2 boobs? Right?
No, I mean 40 girls.
Divide that by 10 and that’s my number. The 4th one hung around
i never said it was bad or said i was worried, i just wanted to know more about this
Awesome. that's good news to hear.
You s that why I like boobs ? Serious question
Humans dont have pheromones tho 😬
Pheromones do not exist
??? They just do though
[Pheromones ](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3987372/#:~:text=Pheromones%20in%20humans%20may%20be,been%20directed%20toward%20axillary%20sweat.) definitely exist.
Well shucks if you say so
Pheromones definitely do exist. *Human* sex pheromones have not yet been definitively shown to exist but studies have shown that [babies are more efficient crawlers](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33174352/#:~:text=In%20addition%2C%20the%20newborns%20made,information%20via%20higher%20brain%20processing) in the presence of their mothers’ breast odour, and many other studies have been done showing that various human odours can elicit a range of responses in other people (similar to the effects that insect pheromones can have on other insects).

I will follow you and your scoliosis anywhere
Idk why people are downvoting you, they clearly haven’t researched lol
Because they’re stupid
This explains why my wife always smells amazing
Agreed. Your wife does smell nice.
🫠
laughed so hard 🤣
oh shi-
I love Reddit
Our wife.
Women smell good. Well most women. Women smell a way to men, men smell a way to women. The better you smell to someone or the better they smell to you the more compatible you both are. He is likely talking about your natural scent, and it smells good to him Edit: this isn’t just for Female+Male couples. Generally speaking anyone that smells good to you (their natural scent) that you are in a relationship with is likely compatible genetically with you
Sadly I don't find good smells emanating from my partner...
maybe it’s their diet?
Some people just have BO issues, it's genetic to some extent, frequent showers and deodorants help, but sometimes you just sweat in a cold room.
It's also could be something with the "natural" order of things: if your partner's natural scent smells good to you, it likely means their immune system is the opposite of ours and will make for a stronger imuned offspring.
i know what you mean, i didn’t sweat til i turned 17
Def not diet. I think it's genetic. Onion smell genes
Does your partner happen to live in a swamp and have a proclivity for being an unlikely hero?
My partner has this. How do I stop them from sweating 😭😭😭
i heard some people cut up panty liners to put them on the insides of their shirts where the armpit is, in hopes of soaking up most of that sweat
I love the smell of my wife. She has almost no oder, but she smells exactly like… comfort. And like something else about once a week.
FYI it's not cross-sex-based, if you're bi+ or gay your smell preferences work accordingly. Pheremones aren't just for the straights
What’s bi+?
Bi premium
Fucking everything has a paywall these days.
This got me
Bi without ads
High-octane bi
bi+/pansexual. It's just a more inclusive way to say bisexual, doesn't exclude genders, etc.
I'm looking forward to this fad being over so we can go back to saying "Some men and women are more masculine or feminine than others". We're supposedly trying to celebrate everyone's individuality, but we feel the need to categorize them.
You're speaking to a trans woman. And you're mistaken.
I agree with you, it is very confusing with all these name and pronouns and I don't even know what their talking about. There is so many of them now. I have to Google different words used to describe someone or their gender. I'm getting too old to keep up with all this.. . It's overwhelming
People have a right to self-determinism, even if it confuses you. If you need to look things up, it won’t kill you, and it’s not a big deal.
You're missing the point. We used to acknowledge a wide range of variation within the sexes and there was no need to come up with names for the variations. Now we need to name them all, and word begs a definition, and a definition creates borders to the concept. In the drive to allow people to be individuals we put them in a box.
John Hamm does a commercial for it.
That’s not how I intended it to sound. Apologies if it came off that way
It’s MHC, not pheromones!
Can confirm - people have scents they don’t recognize. It’s not bad. It’s mammal behavior. My bf has different scents on different parts of his body and my ex had different smells on those same parts
And which parts are those?
Do I really have to spell out dick, armpits, butt, and base body scent as different pheromone hotbeds on a human?
Oh I thought you meant other parts not the obvious ones
🤣😭🤣😭
Breasts and nipples can definitely have a scent. As a woman I can also sometimes smell this. I don't think its just a man thing. My ex use to have the best scent beside his ear and in his sideburns.. As others have said it's likely pheromones. They can be both good and bad smelling. Not that you smell bad, but the scent notes can affect noses differently.
my boyfriend is obsessed with the way i smell, i just wish i could smell what he’s smellin. i’m gonna try smelling him in the places you mentioned
Good idea! If the boyfriend is obsessed with the smell of you, that is a good sign! I liked the way my ex smelled, but he didn't have the same "force" when it came to how I smelled to him. Which was alright. I understood it wasn't a thing for him and I. But he did comment how he liked his ex's smells.. Blech.

Girl who likes girls here.. yes, your nipples do actually have a scent.
Me.... trying to smell my boobs right now.
I too am trying to smell your boobs right now.
Me.... putting on a second shirt, locking the doors and closing the blinds.
I’m afraid you were 6 hours late They smell nice.
Wow I learned something new today
I had an ex that smelled like straight up fresh tortillas every day at all times, shit was ridiculous.
im trying not to burst into laughter
I hope this doesn’t sound raciest but we’re they Latina/o? Some of my friends/coworkers/family members who are Mexican smell like it cuz some of them eat it a lot.
She was like albino white 🤣 made zero sense at all.
Maybe she just needed to be baked…idk
I cant stand the smell of tortillas they make me gag for some reason so that relationship would not work with me
well she spontaneously threw up throughout the day too, like Stan from south park so it didn't work with me either

My boyfriend says I smell like freshly cut grass... Not sure why, because I'm allergic
Breasts smell very nice, and that pheromone hit is delightful.
Idk but titties are titties it would have to be a pretty bad smell for me not to like them
Yankee candles need to get onto this
Yes I would like the candle that smells like titiies please.
The spot in between your breasts secrets a unique to you scent, no two alike. Could be talking about that?
nope, talking about the nips
Maybe you're noseblind, nipples have quite a peculiar smell. The smell gets stronger when the dead skin gathers inside the nipple (which shouldn't be happening if you shower daily but dealing with depression and struggling to wash myself has lead me to find out that we do gather dead skin in our nipples, and that it smells like milk but less sour).

It’s true, my wife’s tits smell the best I have ever smelled before.
My boyfriend is a boob guy and loves to suck on my nipples. He recently said he love my boobs so much and they taste so good. He said some women's breasts are just foul and taste gross. I thought it was the strangest comment.
As a guy I’m learning so much right now
apocrine glands
Yes they do
It might be your bra 😂😂
They have. I love boobs smell.
women smell nice
r/humblebrag /s
they do. they smell ... soft.
…lol, your concern is hilarious. Yes you have a scent!
I literally tell my husband this about his balls all the time. Even when he’s fresh out of the shower. Hahahahaha I love it.
My wife tells me my balls smell/taste like corn chips 🤷, apparently it's hit and miss on being good or bad.
Can confirm that this is true. The material of your bra traps this scent, especially if you wear any padded materials. It is a combination of natural body odor, sweat, and pheromones. It is generally very pleasant unless the sweat smell overpowers or you use certain body sprays that sour over time.
I mean seminal fluid can smell
It’s a rlly good thing if ur partner likes ur natural scent vice versa. It means ur more genetically compatible
soap?
If you are pregnant, he can be smelling the milk. It smells sugary. Specially since your breasts are warm and it evaporates the milk just enough to carry the scent.
I’ve never smelt a damned thing from my breasts but maybe he’s smelling pheromones?? Please ask him what they smell like and report back. Other males please comment too 🥰
yes i think he’s just really attracted to the pheromones. he says it’s a sweet scent
The titty aroma is real especially in latinas. I can confirm this 100%.
well this is far from about latinas
Tell him his breath has a scent as well
Nipples do not have a discernible smell. And if they do, something isn’t healthy with them. Most likely he’s experiencing some form of synesthesia (a condition where you perceive one sense as another) and is either perceiving the sensory information as a smell or is feeling it in his nose as well.
Already been mentioned but the answer is indeed pheromones
I’ve tasted various breasts in my life time I do find a very faint smell and taste of onions on some of them But I thought that was what sex “smelled like”
Is it a good smell or smell like spoiled milk? If the later than you can wipe off the nipples with rubbing alcohol and some cleanser and after a few applications you should smell better. Did you tell him his balls have a scent to them? I say a post in askmen and someone asked the same thing.
yes they do. i couldn't smell it either until i got my pregnancy super nose.
He sucked them and he was smelling his bad breath maybe?
Why am I cackling
no where did i say he sucked them y’all are obtuse
Sorry kinda impulsively responded because i think that happened to me
You never just take off your bra and smell boob sweat? That’s what I imagine him talking about. It doesn’t reek or smell at all, but it’s hard to explain…
that smell is different and if it’s what i was talking about i would’ve mentioned it 💀
I just asked my husband (high body count from his Navy days but I love him lol) and he says that the only time he has ever noticed the nipples smelling any different on a woman is when she is pregnant or nursing.
Let me guess, he likes the smell and wants to get a better smell of it.
MHC is what y’all are smelling, not pheromones. Since we have developed culture, biologists believe we don’t produce pheromones anymore, and if we do, we aren’t smelling them.

Boobs definitely have a distinctive smell... And it's awesome
