Abstract
The discussion of the human personal and regional odors clearly shows not only that the individual odorants which have been found or are believed to be components of these odors must be designated as ‘malodorous’, but also that the odor complexes emitted by the body are usually regarded as unpleasant, more rarely as indifferent and never as pleasant if they are critically smelled as such in concentrated form. Only when highly diluted are the individual regional odors (collected by the wool patch method according to Löhner) no longer regarded as markedly unpleasant.
