Are girls sense of smell better than boys sense of smell?

Research suggests that, on average, girls and women tend to have a better sense of smell than boys and men. Studies have shown that women often outperform men in smell identification tasks, particularly during certain phases of the menstrual cycle. This difference may be linked to biological factors, including hormonal influences. However, individual variations can be significant, so not every girl will have a better sense of smell than every boy.
