Most believe looks and personality play major roles when searching for a potential match, but a new dating app claims the key to finding your soul-mate is by their smell.

大多数人认为，在寻找意中人时，长相和个性占据着主导地位。但是，一款新出的交友应用软件却称，其实找到真爱的关键在于“气味”相投。
 
Smell Dating sends daters a t-shirt in the mail and instructs them to wear it for three days, send it back and they will receive 10 other shirts from other daters.
 
The next step of this matchmaking process requires users to take a whiff of each garment and pick the aroma1 that arouses them the most - all for just $25.
 
Unlike Tinder, eHarmony and all of the other dating sites, Smell Dating does not ask about your sexual preference, your gender2, if you like long walks on the beach or if you're a vegetarian3.
 
A phone number and mailing address are the only two things required to sign up for the service.
 
The only thing they will as of their clients is that they skip deodorant4, perfume and showering for the 72 hours, as it masks a person's natural odor.
 
'It's about trusting subconscious5 intuition and not falling back on inevitable6 preconceptions and prejudices,' Tega Brain, co-founder of Smell Dating, told BuzzFeed News.
 
'You can't control what you like the taste or smell of, you have to trust your sensory7 system.'
 
After you've sniffed8 your batch9 of potential suitors you will have the opportunity to choose the shirt you like.
 
If the owner of that shirt also picks yours, Smell Dating will send you both each other's phone numbers and communication can began.
 
The 'mail odor dating service' is only available to 100 lucky singles living in the New York City area and they are taking signups as of this writing.
