Hmmmmm,
There has been a lot of scoffing by innocents about eau de stilton as a concept.
However consider this…….stilton has its addictive qualities, a lot more subtle than nicotine I grant you, but once you get hooked man, you are truly hooked.
Just look at the phenomenal growth of Stilton Sniffers Anonymous. It took me ten years of secret stuffing before I could even dare whisper it……..
Yes I AM a stiltonolic.
Whassat smell…..hmmmmm…….I feel the munchies coming on…….anyone else feel like a sesh?
Is there any hope?

As far as I’m concerned, all perfumes, colognes, and artificially scented whatever, should be labeled, in the interest of public health, Eau de Sinus Pain.

If the American Chemical Society publishes and posts that for unrestricted public view with a doi referent, you can mount no sustainable complaint about a statistically efficacious pheromone attractant’s necessary and moral use caution.

will this new perfume induce cultural evolution or genetic evolution for human beings? or extinction of the non-fit? anyway, it looks to me the evolutionary pressure is acting in all directions.

Valerian works pretty well for some people (including myself) as a natural sleep aid that has very few side effects, but I thought it was pretty much universally described by friends and foes alike as smelling like animal poop. They usually recommend you don’t touch the caplets directly if possible, lest people wonder where your hands have been.

ah… the pheremone formula….

This looks like a very interesting experiment…..

data shows clear differences in brain activity upon smelling phermones.

Now OTOH I’m not particulary interested in attracting boars.

Start with a bottle of cologne. Add one small drop each of vanilla flavoring and 3-methyl-2-hexenoic acid plus 50 mg of androstenedione, alpha-androstenol [(5{alpha}-androst-16-en-3{alpha}-ol], or a few drops of Boar Mate. Mix well, apply.

OTOH, it is an amazing babe magnet.

Evidently, The British Cheese Board determined that 75% of men and 85% of women experience bizarre dreams after consuming Stilton cheese 30 minutes before retiring to bed. Perhaps the brainchild of this cheesy aroma campaign arose from one of these Stilton-induced nightmares.

As a non-cheese eater, I think I’d prefer the dirty socks. I take Valerian Root sometimes as a natural sedative but the smell is horrific. It does work well in concert with melatonin to cure insomnia without the morning hangover from prescription sleep aids but I sure wouldn’t want to smell like it. Or date someone who did.

Its still a couple of hours before dinner so I will have a chance to get my appetite back….;)
