The smell that heather flowers give off at their peak resembles the smell of human sperm, which is why guys smell it and smile faintly.

Smell and shape of heather:

The volatile substance of heather contains 33 major compounds, which together account for 93.8% of the total volatile oil by volume. These include the two amines 2-(4-methoxyphenyl)-ethylamine and 3-methyl-N-(2-phenylethyl)-1-butylamine. Then there is benzaldehyde (63.9%) and a certain amount of phenethyl alcohol (3.9%). The reason why people think heather and semen smell alike is because the most abundant amine in semen is spermine (spermine), which is also a major contributor to the odor.

Heather flowers are grown in many cities around the country. Although more and more people want to eschew the plant, the relevant local bodies have only cut down the trees in a few densely populated areas, and heather is even planted in large areas on the outskirts of cities. This is because of the heather's air-purifying properties, which trap dust and kill bacteria.

The heather is an evergreen shrub or small tree of the Rosaceae family and the heather genus, also known as the millennium red, fan wood and so on. Heather flower plant height of about 4-6 meters, sometimes up to 12 meters, leaf blade leathery, long elliptic, long obovate or obovate-elliptic, petiole stout, compound corymbs terminal, inflorescence diameter of about 10-16 cm, petal color white, petals suborbicular, anthers purplish, and the fruit is spherical.
