Question for the gents on this forum.
I review books for a few different magazines and have ended up reviewing a lot of the historical romance genre (the sort of books that chaps generally avoid; Georgette Heyer, Jane Austen, that kind of stuff). Anyway, there are masses of these being published yearly still and I've noticed a strange tendency in the books recently. Which is as follows.
In the stories, when following events from the hero's point of view we find that one of the things about the heroine that he notices is her smell. The fact that her hair smells of roses or some other pleasant fragrance.
Do chaps really go around sniffing women's heads or is this author's license which has been picked up by other authors and is a self-perpetuating myth?
