Another thing is that men seem less able to detect some scents than women.
I always enjoy the fresh scent when walking by some nearby balsam poplars
in spring or autumn, but my Other Half can't smell them at all.

Yes this would seem to be true. We go for a walk every evening once
daylight goes past 7pm (I have to walk on my own in the day until then) and
the smell of all the honeysuckles is intoxicating for me, even overpowering
on a warm evening. The other half claims to not even get a whiff of it -
how sad that he misses so much.
