Why do some vaginas have a scent and others do not?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pheromones: Most vagina's have a scent that may or may not be detectable to anyone other than an potential sexual partner. Pheromones are secreted by your body by mother nature for just that purpose. If the scent becomes an "odor" than have a obgyn md check for infection.
