When it comes to smells, women have the nose for it

As men have a less sensitive sense of smell, they are less able to detect the odour of smelly clothes, as seen in this filepic.

It may not be the men’s fault they can’t smell stinky laundry, but now the women can say, “I told you so.”

Whether it’s a tussle between husband and wife or mother and son over dirty clothes or smelly shoes, women may seem to have a stronger opinion about things that smell in the house, be it fragrant or fetid.
