Video: The armpit sniffing dating night coming to London

In case you missed it, there’s an armpit sniffing dating night coming to London.

Romancing The Armpit is the work of madcap duo Bompas & Parr — who have also brought us events involving breathable alcohol, skulls, jelly and boozy saunas — and involves smelling people’s armpits to work out how compatible a match they are.

The idea is that you can tell a lot about a person through their odour, by focusing on the biological release of Major Histocompatibility Complex molecules. That's MHC for short.

It is, we’re told, supposed to be a small-scale revolt against a "highly deodorised" online dating world. Indeed, there are no rules at the event. Whether you shower an hour before or a week before, you won’t be disqualified for having ‘bad-pits’.

The event takes place on April 27 2016 — but how does it all work? Watch our video above to find out, and browse the gallery below for pictures.
