Gaining a better understanding of the multisensory (especially non-visual) contributions to person perception (e.g., Dalton et al., 2013; Pause et al., 2004) is all the more important when it is realized just how influential visual judgments of personality characteristics such as competency (Todorov et al., 2005), aggressiveness (Carré & McCormick, 2008; Carré et al., 2009), and trustworthiness can be (Stirrat & Perrett, 2010; Wilson & Rule, 2015). Beauty too has been demonstrated to bias outcomes in the job market, not to mention life more generally (e.g., Hamermesh & Biddle, 1994; Maestripieri et al., 2016; Mulford et al., 1998), in part via the halo effect mentioned earlier. And while there is an analogous literature on the consequences of vocal qualities, such as pitch (e.g., in terms of the electability of politicians; Klofstad, 2016; Klofstad & Anderson, 2018; Tigue et al., 2012) and fundamental and formant frequency (e.g., on ratings of attractiveness; Feinberg et al., 2005a; cf. Leongômez et al., 2017), there has been virtually no research looking at crossmodal judgments of voice being influenced by olfactory cues (though see Aglioti & Pazzaglia, 2011; Ferdenzi et al., 2016; Groyecka et al., 2017; Wesson & Wilson, 2010, 2011, for the slowly emerging interest in crossmodal interactions between this particular pair of senses). Nevertheless, the many crossmodal effects of body odour and fragrance on multisensory person perception undoubtedly support earlier claims regarding the importance of scent to multisensory impression management (e.g., Baron, 1981, 1983; Dabbs et al., 2001; Fiore, 1992; Higuchi et al., 2005; Kirk-Smith & Booth, 1987; König, 1972; Nezlek & Shean, 1995; cf. Lobmaier et al., 2020), while at the same time contradicting earlier claims that olfaction was irrelevant to social interaction (see Argyle, 1975, pp. 227, 327). 2ff7e9595c
