Forget about the expensive bottles of cologne—women prefer an aroma that’s significantly cheaper and tastes great.

Research found that women thought men were more attractive when they had the pungent smell of garlic seeping through their pores.

To conduct the study, 42 men consumed garlic in three different phases: two cloves with bread and cheese, four cloves with bread and cheese, and four cloves in capsule form.

The dudes in question wore pads on their bodies for 12 hours. Women were later asked to smell those pads and rate the scent on a scale of pleasantness and attractiveness.

The results? The highest rated pads were the ones men wore after eating four cloves of garlic.

“As the health benefits of garlic consumption include antioxidant, immunostimulant, cardiovascular bactericidal and anti-cancer effects, it is plausible that human odor preferences have been shaped by sexual selection,” Craig Roberts, co-author of the study, said.

“From an evolutionary perspective, formation of preferences for diet-associated body odors was possibly shaped by means of sexual selection. Previous research indicates that many animal species use diet-associated cues to select mates in good physical condition.”

Hmmmm. Or maybe garlic reminded the women of pasta and garlic bread which is an automatic “yas” in our minds.
