This is similar to where the saying "The Apple of my eye" came from. A gentleman would keep an apple in his armpit and present it to a lady he fancied to sniff. I would guess the same was done with hankies when apples weren't available. Pheromones I suppose.
And FYI, everytime my husband mentions this bit of trivia, I tell him that I will not sniff his armpit apples...
