Robert Pattinson finds himself captivated with women who smell nice. However, the British hunk does not only prefer sweet-smelling perfumes because what he is after is a woman's natural fragrance.

The 'Water for Elephants' actor explains his fetish to Portuguese magazine, Activa: "It doesn't necessarily have to be perfume. I like the smell of people. It is really strange and I'm sure it has to do with pheromones. We like people because subconsciously we like the way they smell. I always find this very interesting to observe."

Is Pattinson's fascination for scents the reason why he was hired as the newest face of perfume line Dior Homme?

Back when they were still together, Kristen Stewart also talked about having the same penchant: "I'm so in love with my boyfriend I love the way he smells. And him me. Like, he loves to lick under my armpits. I don't get this obsession with washing the smell off. That smell of someone you love - don't you think that's the whole point?"

While the two seem to be meant for each other, they are respectively moving on with their lives. The 'Map to the Stars' celebrity is allegedly dating Sean Penn's daughter Dylan Penn but is she also game for a sniffing adventure?
