There are endless things we'd like to pre-screen our Bumble dates for. What's their voting record? Are they rude to wait staff? Do they ask to kiss you instead of just kissing you (because ick)? But, sigh, finding out the answers to these questions requires putting on pants, getting an Uber, and trying not to mention that you stalked their ex's dog's Instagram account an hour earlier.
There is one thing you can go in knowing, however: what they're gonna smell like. How?
