Bromidrophilia: Beauty is in the Nose of the Besniffer

“Coming home soon; don’t wash,” Napoleon Bonaparte once wrote to his wife, Joséphine. It’s unclear from this snippet of a love note if the most famous Emperor in French history had a certifiable case of bromidrophilia—a paraphilia in which the individual finds the natural body odors of attractive people to be the most arousing erotic...

The psychiatrist describes the man—a 33-year-old decorated war veteran with PTSD, incidentally—as a “renifleur,” which is essentially a subtype of bromidrophile, but more specifically, a person who is aroused by sniffing underwear. A panty fetish may be harmless enough, assuming that you’re sniffing the panties of a woman who (a) doesn’t mind; and/or (b) isn’t presently wearing them. But sooner or later, an unchecked habit of deeply inhaling the private odeur of unwitting strangers as they’re wearing those panties is probably going to lead to a broken jaw or jail time.
