A study in 2013 revealed that women who are fertile may have a sharper sense of smell not only for musky male centric scents think old spice and man sweat but for scents in general.

Ovulation and male attraction. There is also some evidence that women s faces are more attractive to both men and women near ovulation. Ovulation is estimated using either a forward counting from the first day of last menses or backward counting from first day of the next menses. Evolution and human behavior finds that women surveyed during their fertile periods report more lust based on physical attraction and more willingness to hook up. The findings are plausible the scientists note since the ratings of attractiveness were related to hormonal shifts which may cause facial and vocal changes.

During ovulation women have a preference for men with more masculine characteristics say researchers who suggest this preference shift stems from genetic evolution. Male sexual attractiveness predicts differential ovulatory shifts in female extra pair attraction and male mate retention.
