Garlic Might Make Men’s Armpits Smell… Sexy? (Yes, Really)

Published November 12, 2025

Here’s a twist nobody saw coming — apparently, garlic breath might be a small price to pay for sexy armpits. 🧄😳

A new report from the BBC explored how different foods affect body odour, and the findings are… spicy. Turns out, a little meat and lots of fruits and veggies can make you smell better overall — but one food stands out above the rest: garlic.

Yep, the same stuff that scares off vampires might actually attract women.

In one study, women were asked to smell samples from men who ate different foods. The results? The guys who ate a ton of garlic were rated as having the most pleasant and attractive body odour. (Somewhere, a single Italian chef just fist-pumped.)

Scientists aren’t exactly sure why, but they think it’s linked to garlic’s antioxidants and other compounds that signal better overall health. Basically, your body’s saying, “Hey baby, I’m full of immune-boosting properties.”

And if you can’t stomach eating garlic cloves by the handful, good news — garlic supplements work too.

🧄 Moral of the story: Forget cologne. Just hit up an Italian restaurant and let nature (and your armpits) do the rest.
