What type of odor does semen have? what causes the smell?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Semen: The characteristic odor of semen is caused by a chemical known as spermine. The substance is quite common in nature and is found in a variety of plants (hence, the semen-like smell in the yard or garden in the spring). It was named spermine because it was first isolated from semen
