A recent study has debunked the myth that humans can detect ovulation through scent, despite the belief in “Sherlock Hormones.” Researchers conducted experiments with over 1,200 participants and analyzed body odors using advanced technology, finding no significant differences between fertile and non-fertile phases. This study challenges the idea of a “fertility scent” and suggests that other subtle cues may play a role in detecting ovulation. The research highlights the importance of trusting scientific evidence over anecdotal claims and emphasizes that our noses are not equipped to detect ovulation. Further studies may uncover additional signals related to fertility.
