PARIS: It is often believed that friendship is sparked with a good feeling, an exchange of glances, or a few well-chosen words. But behind these first impressions lies a more complex genuine chemistry.

Vivian Zayas, professor of psychology at Cornell University, and Jessica Gaby, researcher at Tennessee State University, conducted a study on a group of heterosexual women with a surprising purpose. Their goal was to explore how a person’s sense of smell influences their feelings of friendship.
