Justin Timberlake reveals a love of BO

Justin Timberlake has revealed he gets turned on simply by a woman's natural body odour.

The SexyBack singer and former N-Sync member said he loves the natural smell of a lady.

Timberlake – who is dating actress Jessica Biel and counts Cameron Diaz and Britney Spears among his exes – told Cosmopolitan: "Some people say BO [body odour] can be an aphrodisiac and I agree. It depends on the body the odour is coming from.

"It's a long-term intimate thing. You don't want it to be the first thing you smell when she comes into the room. It's about layers - layers meant to be discovered."

He added: "Men like scents that have more to do with food than roses. Something subtle and not too loud or overt. A woman doesn't need something whimsical to be sexy - smart is sexy. Sleek is sexy."
