Hmm. That reminds me of an experiment that I heard about in psychology... Might have the details wrong (as usual) but someone may be able to correct me.
People were given t-shirts (or something) that had been worn by members of the opposite sex (and had thus acquired their odour). They were asked which one they preferred. Turns out that they liked the smell of the people who turned out to be the most different from them genetically.
An evolutionary reason for 'chemistry' perhaps... Genetic diversity and all.
