females, because of hormones may have a greater intolerance to certain scents, but both sexes have an equal sense of smell

All I know is that I can smell the dead rat rotting in the wall, and my boyfriend has to "take my word for it."
But I did find this...
As discovered by Linda B. Buck and Richard Axel (who were awarded the Nobel Prize in 2004), mammals generally have about 1000 genes for odor receptors. Of these genes, only a portion code for functional odor receptors. Humans have 347 functional odor receptor genes; the other genes have nonsense mutations. This number was determined by analyzing the genome in the Human Genome Project; the number may vary among ethnic groups, and does vary among individuals. For example, not all people can smell androstenone, a component of male sweat.

Males.
Because human as an species (of animal) need to find female to re-produce. Just like other animal.
This is the natural ability of all males (human or animals).
