Florida firm ScientificMatch.com aims to bring together soulmates by using their body odour, which it claims is the key to romantic attraction.

Costing $2,000 a pop, it promises its technology will find its clients a perfect partner with “a natural odor you’ll love, with whom you’d have healthier children and a more satisfying sex life”.

In analysing clients’ DNA, scientists compare immune system genes to pinpoint compatible mates. “Nature attracts us to our genetic matches with our noses.

“The fact is, we love how other people smell when their immune systems are different from ours - they smell sexier,” the company wrote on its website.

Clients are told to swab the inside of their mouths with cotton buds which are then tested in labs. Background checks are then done on prospective partners.

The dating service - which claims to be the only one of its kind - will be launched next week.
