Olfactory Cues Modulate Facial Attractiveness. M. Luisa Dematte, Robert Osterbauer, and
Charles Spence. Chem. Senses published 16 May 2007, 10.1093/chemse/bjm030

"Given the widespread evidence
that olfactory/pheromonal characteristics appear to be particularly relevant for mating behavior..."
"... the
results of the present study add to a growing list of studies demonstrating that the presence of olfactory cues can
exert a small but significant crossmodal influence on people’s judgments of a variety of nonolfactory stimulus
attributes/qualities..."
This is the first time I've seen anyone besides me use the term(s)
olfactory/pheromonal--and they used it in the same context that I did in my recent review. Other researchers, if not
others in general will understand the importance of using the same language to report findings.
