Writer and professor Michael Stoddart claims that our sense of smell slowly evolved in\u00a0order to render human pheromones virtually undetectable. \u201cOver time, humans\u2019 sense of smell evolved to only be based on the nose\u2019s olfactory membrane, and not another structure called the \u2018vomeronasal organ\u2019 or VMO. Other mammals use both,\u201d says Stoddart. This evolutionary advantage allows us to live in close proximity and in relative harmony without all-consuming pheromones getting in the way. We do still rely on smell to draw us to our partners, it\u2019s just not quite as intense\u2014aside from the guy behind you at the grocery store who seemingly bathed in cologne.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/product\/wearable-candle?source=UK0504\" target=\"_blank\">Wearable Candle, $28<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hint: Maybe you should go easy on the cologne.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":119,"featured_media":36539,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1208],"tags":[813],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36533"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/119"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=36533"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36533\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36540,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36533\/revisions\/36540"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/36539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=36533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=36533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=36533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
