The partners of the volunteers’ are then asked to go through the sniff test. The armpit pads were put in the jars and the respective partners tried to identify the emotion of the opposite sex. Surprisingly, almost two thirds of the tests were successful. This test was conducted with the couples, who have stayed together for one to seven years. Couples living together for a longer time, showed the best results.
