Olfactophilia

Olfactophilia, also known as osmolagnia, is a paraphilia characterized by sexual arousal from odors or scents. Individuals with this fetish experience heightened sexual excitement when exposed to specific smells, which can range from body odors to particular fragrances or environmental scents.

Additional Information

Olfactophilia can involve a wide variety of scents, including but not limited to:

• Natural body odors (sweat, genital scents)
• Perfumes or colognes
• Leather or rubber
• Food smells
• Environmental scents (e.g., gasoline, fresh-cut grass)

The intensity of arousal can vary from person to person, and the specific scents that trigger arousal are highly individual. Some olfactophiles may incorporate scent play into their sexual activities, while others may find the smell alone sufficient for arousal.

It's important to note that enjoying pleasant scents during intimate moments is common and not necessarily indicative of olfactophilia. The fetish is characterized by a strong, persistent focus on odors as a primary source of sexual arousal.
