you should check out Axe Thai Massage shower gel. to me the smell has hints of sawdust and i love that smell.

The smell of a freshly cleaned horse barn
The smell of my horse, can't even describe it, but its comforting
Puppy breath!
The smell of salt water while walking on the beach (reminds me of him)

Clothes washed in Snuggle (original scent)

Dislikes
That very distict smell of body odor and bodily fluids when I walk into work
Steamed broccoli
Vinegar
Cough medicine
Spoiled milk
Eggs (any kind!)

Perfect thread for me. I am extremely scent aware and as such sometimes, scent driven. It is not always a great thing though. I can tell you how much longer your milk has before it expires.

I work in a scent free building, with that being said I have become more aware of smells, some set me off and I had no idea that in the past, when at a social fucntion, my headaches wheren't from hanging out to late but from the smells. Like many of you have said, If we can smell you when you come in the door, you may have to much on. :) Please dont get near me if you have lavendar on any part of your person, I dislike not being able to breath. Thanks

There are people who are sensitive to scents, and will become quite sickened, when they come into contact with your perfumes and fragrances. Please be considerate to anyone you know who is sensitive to certain smells when you are planning to spend time with them or are going to be in close proximity of them. Do not wear any colognes, musks, scented body lotions, hair products, etc. that are bothersome to them during these occasions.
Smells Invade Personal Air Space

Also, if you are going to be in any public places where you will be around people who you do not know please consider the possibility that such chemical scents emitting from your body may offend someone's sensitivities. Certain scents can bring about allergic reactions, asthma attacks, trigger migraines and headaches, or nausea in people who have multiple chemical sensitivity. The inhalation of some chemical fumes from scented products, including air fresheners, can be just as problematic for some people as secondhand smoke, if not more harmful.
Places to Avoid Wearing Colognes and Perfumes

• Public Transportation: buses, subways, airplanes
• Shared Commutes: taxis, carpools, etc.
• Shopping: supermarkets, indoor malls, restaurants and taverns
• Entertainment Venues: movie theaters, concerts, sports arenas
• Waiting Rooms: hospitals, doctor's offices, DMV, courtrooms, etc.
• Tourist Spots: museums, visitor centers, etc.
• Workplace: convention halls, confined office and work spaces, etc.

Patchouli does the exact same thing to me.. Except I can smell where someone wearing patchouli was at 15 mins AFTER they left... lol.. it's an oily smell in the air....

I like clean and clear smells... I used to love musky type.. Obsession, Chanel, but when you have to step outside to spray yourself and stand out there for a few mins not to trigger a headache, you sort of give up...

Lemon myrtle and eucalyptus

Sea air

Wood fire

Image (for Him) by Nino Cerruti does it for me. And as an added plus, I do not have a scent memory tied to it :)

:sparklyheart:

I have a super sensitive nose so this is a great thread for me :)

Love:
*the smell of a rain storm on the horizon...especially since i live in the desert!
*creosote
*Ralph Lauren's "Black"
*My kiddos hair (love to bury my nose in it!)
*fresh herbs like oregano, thyme and rosemary that leave their scent on your finger tips
*mesquite wood burning in the fireplace
*morning dew
*bacon cooking on the stove
*fresh roasted coffee beans
*pumpkin spice lattes


Loathe:
*most perfume...especially walking through a department store with 5,000 of them
*cigarettes
*bad breath
*unclean people (not so much body odor, but that "weeks without a shower smell"...it mostly makes me feel sad for them)
*air fresheners (chemically scented ones)

smell
 

I could fall in love with a femme who wears a perfume called Love Laugh Live.

I'm another one that can't handle patchouli...it smells oily and dirty to me, and gives me an instant headache.

I like clean, fresh scents...and not too much of any perfume or cologne. If it smells like you bathed in it, then it's headache-making for me.

Generally I prefer the smell of good ol' soap and shampoo. :)

theres several fragances i like-in MODERATION!!!!


i like....
most of Ralph Laurens Polos
Aqua De Gio
Coolwater
Eternity--mens and womens
Euphoria--mens and womens
Romance--mens and womens
and i know there are a lot of womens scents i like i just dont remember their names! :)
i even like some of the Axe scents!

but as Jo said sometimes just soap and shampoo is good too!

I actually get complimented when I where patchouli. It suits me. However, it's pretty hard to find now, so I have not worn it in some time.

I wear White Musk and Vanilla from Body Shop. I sometimes use pure essential oils as well.

A strong perfume can bring on an instant headache, but a subtle cologne is very enticing.

"Death Breath" and "Booze Breath" are buzz kills for sure.

I love rich spicy scents.

I mix My own essential oils...usually Sage, Lavender, Rosewood, and Patchouli.

~Elijah

My gramps wore old spice,but only in moderation.My gram use to wear lemon verbena very lightly,I was told at a very early age that sents should be light and free.
A fue years ago when my mom still managed the mens department at Dillards she brought home a huge bag of samples of arimist,stetson and something called sexual home.All were really good but the sexual home was great..a touch is all I ever needed as I went into a room or hang out..yes they noticed it.I have long sence used them up and I cant find any sexual home anywhere..I have looked.
The other things I prefer are things that have a natural woodsy or light pinye smell or of the sea,some floral sents are ok but just a touch is more than enough.

Smells that make you go hmmmmm
 

I'll come back when I'm not half asleep (should have gone to bed ages ago), but a cologne I bought for my ex yonks ago is HABIT ROUGE by Guerlain (1965). Oh my giddy aunty, every time she wore it I couldn't decide which I wanted to do first - rip off her clothes or mine. Shouldn't start thinking about it too much, need to go to sleep. :blush:

Great thread!

I love subtle, not overpowering fragrances but unfortunately can't wear them any longer due to asthma (got it for the first time @ age 42).

When someone walks by or I am trapped in an airplane or office with someone that wears way too much (can't they smell it?) or a scent like Georgio (remember that one?); I pretty much instantly start to wheeze.

No fun at all.

LOVE

i'm allergic to fragrances, but i really miss patchouli. it's my favorite. i also really like yankee candle company's "sage and citrus" fragrance...it makes me homesick.

as far as smells that don't make me sick...i really love the smell of fresh baked bread :) and garlic. and oranges.

I am looking for a new cologne or two. The ex was sensitive to smells so I gave all of my stuff away and really have no idea now what to get. It can definitely be a little overwhelming, not only with the choices but also because smelling a few of them can give you a headache!

So I really can't answer your question.. at least not yet anyway. I'll have to read through here and get some ideas for myself.

i LOVEEEE Pink (fresh and clean) by victorias secret
Happy by Clinique

buying cologne
 

Hey Sleepy, listen up otherwise I'll have to borrow Kitty4U's 4x2 ... unless of course you already know this ...

First off, do you remember your old cologne's, the one's you SUPER loved? Like, they made you feel like a studmuffin. If they did and the grrlies appreciated them (turning around for a second look is a good indication) just buy it again. But, if it was a while ago, maybe your body chemistry has changed since you wore it and perhaps it no longer suits you (I don't know if our body chemistry changes with time or not). Otherwise if you're going cologne hunting, make sure you're not already wearing any. For goodness sake, don't let the sales assistant wave a bit of cardboard in the air. Cardboard - skin NOT the same. Don't try more than three at a time. Smell them when they first go on your skin. Smell them again in about 10-15 mins then again about an hour later. Take a mate with you to give you a sniff ;)

Take your time choosing because cologne and perfume is so personal. Oh, one last instruction. For goodness sake don't touch it with your fingertips! (You know I'm talking about cologne right?). The acid in your fingertips damages/changes the chemical reaction in the cologne.

Oh yeah, one more last last thing - try and talk to an experienced sales assistant or even someone who owns a perfume shop not someone more interested in their phone.

That's my one Ringgit's worth. :)

Oh yeah, don't be afraid to check out older colognes. And if you buy Habit Rouge I'll be buying a plane ticket to come over and rip your clothes off before you can say ... ;) :D

You can borrow the 2x4....
 

...anytime lusciouskiwi. It works in most cases..LOL!

But Sleepy (hope you're still talking to me..:blush:)... if you're looking for a really gooooood 'driving women crazy and ripping your clothes off fragrance' try Ted Lapidus.

Dior Fahrenheit works well too.

:thumbsup:

www.fragrantica.com seems like an interesting website to get perfume info :)

LOL... I'm just seeing this now. TY for the advice. I remember some of the old ones and could go that way again but am looking for something new. Maybe I should try these colognes that make ya'll want to rip my clothes off.. sounds like a lot of fun!

Of course I'm not mad but I may need to check out the Ted Lapidus... just for fun.

There used to be an older type of Ted Lapidus that smelled even better but unfortunately it's not sold anymore and if you do find it somewhere it's quite expensive. My first lover used this one and it drove me tooootttaaallllllyyyy
crazy..and I could smell it even the next day... all over my clothes...and....just about everywhere...lol...

sooo..I would say..since the new one smells almost the same...(gets pretty close)...GO FOR IT!

But Kitty /which/ Ted Lapidus? Sleepy wants some clothes ripping. Needs the right one to induce said clothes ripping.
