Kissing is like a taste test and a smell test. This isn't at all about breath, although I think we all can agree that stinky breath is lame. Researchers have discovered that there is a scent we pick up on when we are kissing -- and it's believed to be related to a person's DNA.
Sugarless gum is a must
Sugarless gum contains xylitol. Xylitol kills bacteria, which is the leading cause of bad breath. Another perk of using sugarless gum as a breath enhancer is affordability. For a few dollars, your breath can stay fresh and ready for kissing whenever you are.
You can't catch halitosis from another person but you can contract the bad bacteria that cause it from someone else. The bad bacteria can be passed by kissing, sharing utensils, sharing toothbrushes, and can even be transmitted to and from your pets!
The kissing flavor of love is soft and subtle and has a slight sweet taste to it. When you having a quick tongue-in-kiss, with some one-night stand, it often tasted like boiled potatoes water. It's kind of bland and has a dull acid flavor all on its own.
Also, if you don't have a chance to brush before you kiss, be sure to bring along some sugar-free gum with Xylitol, and take it a few minutes before that smooch. So, for kissable breath, all you really need to do is what you should already be doing — taking good care of your mouth.

University of Kent research suggests that men can distinguish between the scents of sexually aroused and non-aroused women. The detection of sexual arousal through smell may function as an additional channel in the communication of sexual interest and provide further verification of human sexual interest.
