What do you smell like?

[Cors]

This might be weird, but I am always fascinated by how others smell, be it their natural scent, shampoo, deodorant, perfume or even fresh sweat and I wonder what you lovely queer Dimmers (or straight ones cool enough to venture in here) smell like.

What do you use or wear, if any? Do you have a signature scent, or do you match your fragrance with what you wear? Any interesting reactions to your smell? :)

[strangeangel]

I usually make sure i smell of Elizabeth Arden's green tea perfume (http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Elizabeth-Arden/Green-Tea-83.html), but I was recently told they have discontinued this line. So looks like I will have to look around for something else. Personally, this is the ONLY perfume for women that I love - most others are colognes by Lacoste (http://www.lacoste-parfums.co.uk/mens-fragrances/lacoste-pour-homme/) or Tommy Boy by Tommy Hilfiger (I tried Tommy Girl - found the scent too pungent and artificial for my liking).

Overall I generally have almost no tolerance for perfumes for women (with the exception of EA's green tea).

When it comes to shower gels, shampoos, I tend to pick the fruity flavours (lemons should always smell lemony!:p).

[Tania]

I default to No. 5. Sometimes I wear Cristalle, Pleasures, or Shalimar. There's another Guerlain fragrance I really want that has a violetty element...

[Melian]

I permanently smell like vanilla (shower gel, hand lotion, etc...all vanilla).

On occasion, I smell like Axe from the red can (how descriptive!) or some variant on that 90's perfume Hard Candies.

[mergirl]

Really strong sweet smelling perfumes make me feel ill.. gah. I was walking behind a woman in the shops yesterday who had splashed a whole flowerfield in a bottle on herself and by the time i got to the checkout my head was swimming...
I wear Armani attitude though not all the time but not just when i am going out either.. just when i fancy complimenting the usual raw animalistic pheremonal delights that eminate from me..:D
I wear the smell that GD likes (obviously i like it too) because she is the one who spends the most time sniffing me... and GD wears the scent that she likes (i love it too) because she is the Boss. Oh she wears Armani mania- cause we are a couple of brand name wankers... well not really..we just really like the smell of those man perfumes (What do you call man perfumes again?? I forget..)

[mergirl]

Oooh i like the smell of vanilla.. apparently its an aphrodisiac. I think people just like people that smell like nice cakes.

[TraciJo67]

I love the Liz Claiborne collection; pretty much all of it. I use perfume only for special occasions, though. On regular days, I use Bath & Body Works soaps & lotions. My favorite is Warm Vanilla Sugar, followed by Brown Sugar Fig. For haircare products, I use Aveda Rosemary Mint. It has a very earthy scent, and I love how clean & invigorating it feels, first thing in the morning.

Warm Vanilla Sugar's one of the most popular :)
I like it too.

I was going to post last night and say that I reeeeeaked of sea isle cotton (from bbw) because someone's eau du toilette opened in their bag. gah.

but now, i'm smelling of Chanel Chance :)

See.. the thing is.. i don't know what half of these fragrances smell like.. I wish my screen was scratch and sniff!!! Only sometimes though cause i bet the majority of you fart a LOT!

[Sandie_Zitkus]

Nag Champa. Oil, body butter and soap.

I use CIBU (http://www.cibuinternational.com/) hair products - I adore them and they smell like exotic flowers. :)

[comaseason]

If I'm feeling all girly and whatnot I wear Vera Wang Princess. I don't wear it too much because I think I might be the only one who likes it (my friends hate it - I say stop friggin smelling me). Day to day I usually use Clinique Happy, which I do find very light and cheerful.

I use a lot of Burt's Bees stuff, olive oil soap and Hemp hand lotion... not really sure what it smells like... nature n' stuff I guess.

I try and wear something scented usually, because I mean lets face it there aren't many that can resist the bedazzlery that is my musk.

[Melian]

i bet the majority of you fart a LOT!

Oh god, AND HOW.

It smells like an abbatoir in here!

[mergirl]

Oh god, AND HOW.

It smells like an abbatoir in here!
Yeah.. i wondered why whenever i clicked on to the lgbt board it smelled like meaty pumps and cleavers!

[The Orange Mage]

I use the Garnier Fructis hair products, which I describe as smelling like tangerines and gasoline, though the type I use isn't as strong-smelling as some of the others.

I don't wear deodorant or anti-perspirant unless I know I'll be doing something worth sweating over because it takes a lot to make me sweat. However my sweat smells kinda like onions.

Heck, now that I think about it, having just moved into a new place I probably have no deodorant of my own here. :doh: Probably will just use the lady's in a pinch. :rolleyes:

For my general smell it changes day to day based on what body wash I use since I have SO DAMN MANY from Bath & Body Works. Right now the lineup is the Peppermint one from the Aromatherapy line, some Moonlit Path (I loooooove lavender), and a tangerine/citrus one that I picked up during a big clearance sale when they changed their packaging a while ago, and lots of old and discontinued scents made their way back to the shelves for one last hurrah.

[vardon_grip]

I smell like Chuck Norris, Elvis and 2 of the Three Stooges.

Other times I wear a cologne that is made from a perfumers oil called Dragon's Hide and I dilute it with some Absolut vodka then put it in an atomizer. It is dark and spicy with smoke and leather notes.

[LisaInNC]

I use Hawaiian ginger body spray by calgon, but I get the most comments on my hair. I use pantene smooth and silky. Men and women alike always sniff it.

[Weeze]

if i could eat myself i would!!

Well, that could solve a few things ;)

[joswitch]

Woodsmoke, cheap adidas deoderant, (sometimes fresh sweat) and also my natural smell which is a bit like fresh ground black pepper and real wool. :p :D

Some folks remark on the woodsmoke, generally favourably... which is nice...

[Tad]

My wife reacts badly to most perfumes and colognes, and even many of the more strongly scented bath products, so I don’t have much in the way of artificial odors about me. About the strongest applied smell you might get off me is the occasional whiff of ‘baby shampoo’ which I sometimes use on my hair when I’ve biked to work (it is gentle enough not to demand conditioner, speeding up my work shower). (well, I also use deodorant, but I hope you wouldn’t actually smell that?)

In the misty past, before we were together, I still didn’t use much. I was always torn multiple ways on the subject. On the one hand I wanted to delve into the world of scents, but on the other I have a pretty poor sense of smell and didn’t trust myself to be able to judge what was a good scent on me. Also I had no interest in the traditional male scents, since the stereotypes associated with them didn’t interest me at all, and I didn’t have the scent education to know what else was available that might be nice, but not raise too many eyebrows.

I suppose I must have a natural body smell, no doubt reflecting what I eat. So maybe I reek of dairy products and meat?

[thatgirl08]

I use Sauve products pretty much exclusively for body wash, shampoo and conditioner. This only really changes if something is on sale or I have a few extra bucks to spend at Bath & Body Works. As far as scents, I go for anything fruity or flowery. I'm really not a fan of anything mint or vanilla though. If I'm using bar soap it's generally Dove, just the original scent which just smells like.. soap? I don't know how to describe it. Not much of a scent.

I rarely wear perfume anymore.. I used to wear that Britney Spears Circus one exclusively but now if I wear perfume it's generally Midnight Pomegrante from B&BW. Instead, I generally just use a little body spray and/or lotion .. also from B&BW. My favorite in everything is Midnight Pomegrate but I venture out to some of the other fruity or flowery scents occasionally (once again - no mint or vanilla usually!)

As far as natural body scent.. I don't know if I really have one? Occasionally I feel like my hair smells a little like our well water, which isn't a good scent but not bad either. I hate living at my dads because of the well water.. this is the first time in my life I've had to use it and I don't like it all haha.

[Les Toil]

I try and smell like cleanliness. Well, my more realistic goal is to try and not smell like ANYthing. To achieve this I shun male deoderants like the plague. Am I the only one here that thinks all men's deoderants smell like the men's locker room? It actually starts off smelling good when I first put it on, but after four hours you get that cheap, weird, sweet smell that distinctively smells like a locker room. Any deoderant with the word "Sport" on it will make you wreak. So what do I do about this? I wear women's deoderant (how appropriate that I'm admitting this on the GLBTQ board). Unscented of course. I mean, I don't want to smell like "An Autumn Breeze" or "Lavender Spring", so I don't hesitate to go for the unscented Mitchum, Ban, Secret, etc... Never had a girlfriend complain. She might if I came to her house smelling like William "The Refrigerator" Perry after a game.

I also like the smell from a bottle of oatmeal body wash.

[LillyBBBW]

I'm a mostly unscented kind of girl. I wash with Summer's Eve Feminine Wash for Sensitive Skin and sometimes I wash with Kiss My Face "Peaceful Patchouli." Otherwise all you smell is warm skin or the faint smell of Passion Fruit Smoothie conditioner.

[george83]

I smell of sweat, I really should wash more lol :p

[Cors]

Interesting responses everyone!

Tania, are you talking about Insolence? I wish No.5 works for me. I just get a headache from the aldehydes and all I get is soap after. It smells wonderful on others though.

Strangey, Tad and others - I don't really like the idea of male and female scents. I think that 90% of it is just marketing. I suppose men and women do prefer different things but as with other things, the contrast (masculine-looking guy wearing a feminine perfume or vice versa, older woman wearing something sweet, floral and girly) is something that will catch my attention.

I don't have a consistent smell, but I wish I do. I am fascinated with smells and love the idea of a signature scent that people can recognise me by but I guess I am way too fickle for that. I don't even have a favourite genre.

I have a mild perfume obsession; I am fascinated by in strange, beautiful but often unwearable fragrances (Serge Lutens) and classic old lady smells (vintage Guerlain). The people around me don't seem to care for or like my perfumes much (I have gotten unflattering comments about cat pee, unwashed armpits and mothballs), so I mostly wear a tiny bit just to amuse myself without offending others. I get bored easily and often have mixed feelings about the fragrances I own. The safe, inoffensive ones I wear the most often are Shiseido Feminite du Bois (boozy cedar, candied fruit, violets, honey) and Guerlain Chamade (powdery fruity warm floral).

I also often go for weeks without consciously using anything scented. Strangely enough, I get the most compliments when I am not actually wearing anything special. I use a variety of hair and body care products (I do love Bath and Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom and Warm Vanilla Sugar - if only there is a store here!), mostly drugstore and people always comment that my hair, or my cleavage smells good. My exes also seem to enjoy jumping me when I am dripping with fresh sweat. :confused:

I love it when a partner's scent lingers on me in the morning - so comforting! Unless they smell bad, of course. ;)

[mergirl]

Well, that could solve a few things ;)
Damminnit no rep to give.. but i chuckled! :D

Woodsmoke, cheap adidas deoderant, (sometimes fresh sweat) and also my natural smell which is a bit like fresh ground black pepper and real wool. :p :D

Oooh i used to love the smell of me when i used to stay at peace camps when i was younger. Like bonfires and fresh air.. no cheap addidas deoderant though. :(
:p

[Melian]

Ooooh, I love that too :)

[butch]

I smell like tater tots and tartar sauce.:eek:

[LillyBBBW]

I smell like garlic. :( I went to the farmers market and bought a small bag of peeled garlic. I put it and some other items in my bag and now I can't get the smell out.

[mergirl]

I smell like tater tots and tartar sauce.:eek:
no way!! seriously i am eating tartar sauce this very second!!! Along with some left over salmon... but still, i feel you would find my smell appealing!! :D

[mergirl]

mmm.. i love the smell of garlic, though it is a bugger to get rid of when you dont want to smell of it. I made a veggi shepherds pie last night and used garlic, even after i had a shower i still felt i could smell garlic on me.

[disaster117]

Japanese Cherry Blossom from B&BW. I occasionally venture to "Plumeria" from B&BW because it's delicious smelling.

As far as hair goes, I use Dove shampoo. The "Cucumber+Green Tea" kind. Oooohhh god.

[Mishty]

I use Love Spell (http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=EF-206453&page=1&cgname=OSBAFGARLSP&rfnbr=6332) body mist by Victorias Secrets everyday, layered with the Love Spell body butter (http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&event=display&prnbr=EF-246731&page=1&cgname=OSBAFGARLSP&rfnbr=6332). It's a soft dreamy crisp scent that I've used since Jr.High, it seems to work well with my shampoo and other hair stuffs which is Aussie (http://www.aussie.com/en_US/catch-the-wave). I use a regular bar soap Grapefruit scented by Dove (http://www.dove.us/?dl=/Products/BarSoapBodyWash/BB_White.aspx/#/Products/BarSoapBodyWash/BB_Energize.aspx/), which smells so fresh because of the lemongrass! From time to time, during Spring I'll wear Clinque Happy and Bora Bora (http://www.fragrancex.com/MakeCappedImage.html?file=images%2fproducts%2fsku% 2ffull%2f783W.jpg) by Liz Claiborne it's soft, very feminine and I get these lil squinty eyed looks from people trying to guess the smell, I thinks it a kinda/sorta grandmotherly smell, but with green tea lotion it's mellowed out a lot!


The weird thing is, most people love the undertone of my liquid detergent! Lavender Lilac by Gain (http://www.ilovegain.com/lavender_lilac.do)! I get more sniffs because of it than all of my sprays and perfumes! Who knew! :rolleyes:

[Neen]

I am a perfume addict. 'Love spell' by victoria secret. or just a cheap cotton candy body spray. I love fruity, food type smells..

[Tania]

Yes, Gracie. :D Insolence.

[Teleute]

It is surprisingly fascinating reading about everyone's scent and preferences! This is a neat thread :D

I am restricted in what I can wear on a daily basis; I work in a cancer care center and the patients are very sensitive to smells, so pretty much anything detectable is a no-go (popcorn is banned from the building too, as that scent is apparently the most bothersome of all, and we have some other nonintuitive restrictions... for instance, no plants and no fake nails, as both can grow nasty stuff like fungus and mold that can infect our patients). I wear old spice deodorant (review/description of the old spice scent here (http://www.nstperfume.com/2007/11/14/old-spice-os-signature-fragrance-reviews/)) on a regular basis, but the scent isn't very strong when it's under clothes. I sometimes use Dove cherry blossom & almond body wash, which I love but try not to use on workdays as it's definitely more noticeable... TONS of positive comments when I use that one, though. One of my favorite scents is vintage Chloe (description here (http://perfumeshrine.blogspot.com/2008/03/chlo-new-vs-old.html)- the one I like is the rounded bottle with the peach box, not either of the square bottles which are newer scents). I got a powder/lotion/perfume set from a great-great-grandmother who died or something when I was about 12, and I LOOOOOOOOOVED it... still do, although again I can't wear anything like that on a regular basis. As the linked description implies, the scent is awfully strong, but I've had good luck diluting it a bit to make it a little more manageable and less overwhelming.

I don't have any good description of my overall natural smell, as I don't really notice it most of the time, heh. Post-arousal it's very sharp and a little sour (kinda citrusy maybe?) though - noooooo way can I go anywhere without showering or at least putting on more deodorant after sex! Also, it's weird, but I love the smell of my cleavage. It's a totally distinct smell from my underarms, which I assume is what most people think of when discussing a person's scent - it's sort of musky and nutty and warm. I dunno, maybe that's the scent of most of my skin, and I just don't notice it anywhere else because I can't exactly smell the backs of my knees :p

[GTAFA]

I like the title of this thread, which is so counter to the usual tendencies of the web. You ask us what we smell like. Hm, here, take a sniff. Got that?

Seriously, it's such a wonderful question, because sensuality is still the last frontier. The foodee board is wonderful precisely because it's so lush and overflowing with images and descriptions that make your mouth water. I wonder if they will ever manage to make the www interactive across other senses beside sight and sound.

I dont know if the question really includes me (sorry if that sounds neurotic, but i am venturing into this board for perhaps the first time, don't mean to invade... just fascinated by the question). I wear some scents (that Gaultier in the bottle shaped like a guy, or Eau Sauvage, which isn't sauvage whatsoever come to think of it)...., but love the aveda hair products, the way they subtly say herbal. Lately i walk around with the whiff of hand sanitizer on me because i am washing my hands so much and then putting that stuff on after: not very sensuous i am afraid.

I know there are people who like the genuine scent of sweat --where are you--but i prefer to stay clean smelling, so i wear a deodorant, and shower twice a day if it's really hot. Do i have a double standard? maybe. I just feel a bit more in control if i am not distracting everyone with my own smell (and that includes the stuff in bottles, which must be used sparingly).

[Candy_Coated_Clown]

I like to experiment with a lot of scents. I also have a huge line of lotions. I enjoyed the Temptations line from Bath and Body Works, but looks like it's been discontinued for the time being. I do wish they'd bring the line back.

I also am a fan of stuff like Demeter Fragrance Library and Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab scents. I like to switch things up depending on my mood and frame of mind, however I do have a signature scent that I am recognized by. I get comments on how I smell often and in many places. My signature scent is Pink Sugar by Aquolina. It blends well with and on my body.

When I'm wearing it, the smell is interpreted differently by many. I've been told I smell exactly like freshly spun cotton candy, caramel candy, warm vanilla sugar, cocoa butter, birthday cake or a pastry bakery. The scent isn't cheap or nasty-smelling. Aquolina has done a good job in creating a sophisticated gourmand scent that works well. There's a male version of the perfume too: Blue Sugar. That smells really good and it is altered a bit for more of masculine, but still sweet and exotic, scent. I just hope they don't discontinue either. I am going to have to stock up one of these days just in case.

I also smell like coconut oil. It's very subtle. I liberally use organic, pure, virgin coconut oil on my skin, hair and face. I put it on after a shower, after I wash my face to replenish moisture and I moisturize my hair with it when styling. It's truly a great natural oil for so many things, not just for cooking.

I also use many of the Dr. Bronner's Magic Soaps when I take a shower or have a bath. Currently, I use the orange oil soap, lavender oil soap, and almond oil soap. I switch up with each depending on my mood. They leave a very clean feeling and after-scent that blends in well with my perfume and my body after dousing on coconut oil after a shower/bath.

Other times, I'll use pure cocoa butter, aloe vera or homemade fresh fruit pastes for my skin (to leave on for awhile and then wash off).

I like being my own bath and beauty alchemist. It's fun, rewarding, experimental and beneficial.

Mishty is fabulous full stop (period)- Her avitar is testiment to this fact!! :D

[LoveBHMS]

Caleche Delicate by Hermes.

From Bath and Body Works I love Freesia body spray.

Anything from Jo Malone. Her products are amazing. My favorite is Grapefruit.

[bobbleheaddoll]

most days i don't wear perfume...i work in an office with many people and they frown on it. too many scents on too many people are overwhelming i guess. normally i just smell like my coconut shampoo or that weird fruity smell of aussie hairspray..lol.

if i am going out, i like to wear rapture by victoria secret. it is very girlie.

i do admit that my date smelling good is a big turn on for me...not overpowering...so you have to get close to notice ;)...but it also tells me they took the time for that little extra something.

[bobbleheaddoll]

So, anyone with me on adoring Mishty's new avatar pic? It is fabulous!

yes, it is fabulous! very old school hollywood glam...

[KittyKitten]

I'm straight, but this post caught my eye.

I am a certified perfume-aholic. LOL.

I love to smell feminine and sweet. I swear by Vanderbilt, Chanel no5, or Design eau de parfum. I love the old school fragrances unlike the sugary-syrups of today.

When I pass by, I want you to SMELL me. A certain smell evokes memories in people.

[fat9276]

Cors, I think you should follow with a "what smell do you like on a partner, mate etc" ;)


anyway... I am very sensitive to smells, can't wear or be around anything strong (makes me sick), but I do wear Bath & Body Works lotions...

Brown Sugar & Fig (wear this the most)

Night Blooming Jasmine

I bathe with Ivory only (I hate the smell of strong soap..especially in the morning) :p I use Pantene Ice Shine on my hair (the best shampoo/conditioner by far I have found). :happy:

[moniquessbbw]

I don't wear perfume. I use Warm Vanilla Sugar body wash and lotion. It is by Bath and Body. My second fav is Pearberry. BnB rocks.

[vardon_grip]

I also am a fan of stuff like Demeter Fragrance Library and Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab scents.

BPAL is all I wear. I love that stuff.

[AtlantisAK]

I smell like cherry vanilla or other sweet smelling scents sometimes. Mostly though, I keep to light powder scents.

I used to wear men's cologne and such when I was younger, but in the city, that doesnt exactly work well, lol.

[Cors]

I didn't expect so many responses! :happy:

Good point fat9276! I wonder where to start that discussion though. Hmmm.

[Mgirl]

What an interesting question.

I'm not into perfumes so much. If I wear a scent it is subtle - sometimes I put a couple drops of orange and frankincense essential oil in my hair, but it would only be noticed if I was inches from someone.

There is only one perfume that I would consider wearing. I've had the bottle for years and would only wear it for a special reason because I believe it no longer is made. It's tobacco flower oddly enough - a beautiful smell which has nothing to do with what tobacco smells like.

Wow, just thinking about that flooded back so many memories...powerful sense indeed.

[Jay West Coast]

I've been told that American's smell like cottage cheese. To other Americans, I've been told I often smell of coffee.

These days I wear Bulgari Aqua whenever I have a collared shirt on.

[SocialbFly]

I've been told that American's smell like cottage cheese. To other Americans, I've been told I often smell of coffee.

I love Bulgari, i have their blue and i like it...although there are other scents i am trying out right now..Chance by Chanel and Exceptional Because You Are (what a fricking long name) but a light cologne...

there is always my standby Escape...or Halston Couture, which they no longer make...bastiches...

[ThatFatGirl]

I've been wearing Lolita Lempicka's signature perfume as of late. It's dark and sweet and smells of anise and violets (and some other stuff, but I forget). I love it, but it's so strong that I try to only use a spritz or two.

[Falcon]

Well, this obviously is a personal thing but I smell like me. I don't wear any scent of any kind -- aftershave, cologne -- and I make it a point to use fragrance-free lotions and skin treatments whenever possible. I haven't worn anything scented for years and years.

I think a man should smell like a man. He should shower every day and after every workout but he should always smell like a man. I also feel it is the woman who should have the spotlight when it come to wearing fragrances. When we are together I don't want to compete with her, don't want to get into "dueling fragrances" when out for the evening.

Plus, most guys don't have a clue how to wear a scent. I hate it when I shake hands with a guy and have his aftershave on me for the next two hours.

[KatsPyjamas]

[bexy]

Agent Provocateur is my signature scent. I have wore it since it first came out many years ago. George doesn't wear aftershave, and sometimes not even deodourant lol, but he just smells like him. It's lovely.

[Frankie]

I used to wear men's cologne and such when I was younger, but in the city, that doesnt exactly work well, lol.

Sure it does. I prefer men's colognes to women's. Lately I've been wearing CO Bigelow Blue Elixir and Red Elixir from Bath & Body Works. I love how they smell. Not sure how the boyfriend feels about it, heh. If I want to smell less manly, I wear Dancing Waters, Cool Citrus Basil, Sea Island Cotton, or Freshwater Cucumber body sprays from B&BW. Once in a blue moon I like the girly Freesia spray.

When I wore women's colognes, I wore Amarige by Givenchy, Perry Ellis 360, and Coolwater for women. Perfumes like Chanel No. 5 and Shalimar give me a headache.

[KatsPyjamas]

mergirl, it's from Anchorman - I wouldn't have guessed the Pixies lyric!

:wubu::D

60% of the time, it works EVERY TIME ;)

My actual scent is whatever I naturally smell like, and whatever I use to clean myself. And a deodorant that isn't too strong. Some perfumes and aftershaves smell nice for just a sniff, but anything that strong for a prolonged time makes me feel sick. Which is handy as I'm cheap & lazy anyway.

Frankie I love the smell of Amarige! I actually have some. For sniffing not wearing (I attempted to but it's just not gonna work).

[mergirl]

Ahh i loved that film.. cant remember that..
I think its from the song 'bone machine' but i was just being silly. :p

[activistfatgirl]

I really, really detest over perfuming. Subtly is an art.

I also dig the green tea perfume from Elizabeth Arden. I like sandalwood oil and other, earthy, raw scents. I trend away from the girly, floral and more towards spicy.

However, I recently got my first real perfume - the black one from the Baby Phat line. It's spicy and smoky and if not overdone, makes me quite pleased.

I personally think my body odor is just fine. Expect for those extra juicy days down under. What can I say? I'm a moist girl. What?

[tankgirl]

I smell like Chuck Norris, Elvis and 2 of the Three Stooges.

Oh, god, yes. I do too. Well, after a long day at the shop, and then after working out, right when I wake up.... Kinda. See, I hate day or night showers, I'm a morning shower kind of person. Besides, my day is over at 1900; that's time for dinner chased by a beer or two, usually with a movie, and muck about till 2130 or so, and bed.
There's the Tressemme (or however the hell that's spelled) shampoo and condit smell....
Used to have some Nag Champa soap but I used it and it was gone. So these days it's Sugar Tone (or Glow, sugar sommat, any rate.... funny kawasaki green and toxic canary yellow wrapper on a clear bottle) body wash...
And whatever grease and gas and burnt oil smells stick to my shop clothes.
And, suddenly reminded of the rabies car*, the other smells that come home from the shop.
Unlike most females, I guess, I also sweat copiously, and use men's Degree deoderant ("reacts to adrenaline", almost true), the extreme blast scent. Smells kind of like clean laundry. Depsite my best efforts, I still smell rather ....umm... Productive. Busy. Heh.
I use Tide regular concentrated liquid. Bounce regular fabric softener.
Plus tobacco smoke, occasional whiffs of pot smoke, sometimes beer, and I have two cats and a dog. Some people say pets are noticeable.
And leather, because I have an awesome 60" leather trenchcoat (or overcoat, if you want to be picky). No, not a duster, I know. It's still a 60" leather coat that only cost me $110. Hah hah hah!
That's how I smell.


*Rabies car: Had this car in, smelled like you'd get rabies or whatever that is that mouse turds carry.... or maybe that was ferret turd in there... All over the engine, all over the inside, a blanket in the back with a nasty reddish-brownish sorta stain and more turds on it, food remains and food wrappers everywhere, more turd just about everywhere.... bug nests in the hubcaps, bugs that crawled out and invaded the shop, spider cocoons, other cocoons other places, just flat fuckin NASTY.... NO ONE in the shop wanted to drive it around... one guy took to calling it "the rabies car".... It was enough to make anyone gag. It'd make a gargoyle take flight from a building. I'd say it'd stun a moose but a moose wouldn't be dumb enough to get that close.
Since *I* was the one that had to work on the key ignition and the steering column in the damn thing- requires sitting in it- I took to it with a whole can of Lavendar Air Neutralizer, another whole can of Wild Flowers air neutralizer, three "new car" air fresheners, and another whole can of Renuzit Wild Flowers I found sitting around. I also vacuumed as best I could where I had to work- I'm not getting sick off that nasty.
It was tolerable after that (in the front seats only, I didn't have enough smellgoods to do the whole car), but the lady who owned it bitched up a storm that her car didn't smell like flowers when it got here..... wish I could have heard the service writer's explanation, but I was working on a Prius by then....

[GoldenDelicious]

We both wear the mens aftershave instead of perfume. I wear Armani mania for men and Mer wears Attitude for men, although personality wise I'd say she is the manic one and I have the attitude, lol xx

Really strong sweet smelling perfumes make me feel ill.. gah. I was walking behind a woman in the shops yesterday who had splashed a whole flowerfield in a bottle on herself and by the time i got to the checkout my head was swimming...
I wear Armani attitude though not all the time but not just when i am going out either.. just when i fancy complimenting the usual raw animalistic pheremonal delights that eminate from me..:D
I wear the smell that GD likes (obviously i like it too) because she is the one who spends the most time sniffing me... and GD wears the scent that she likes (i love it too) because she is the Boss. Oh she wears Armani mania- cause we are a couple of brand name wankers... well not really..we just really like the smell of those man perfumes (What do you call man perfumes again?? I forget..)

[Saoirse]

my goofy co-worker keeps saying that this girl we work with smells like his new car. Not "New Car"smell...more like "Cleaned by the Previous Owner" smell.

Apparently she doesn't reek of detailing. :p

[mergirl]

[Weeze]

At our outlet we're having a buy-so-much-of-this-and-get-this promo, and obviously Bath and Body works is at the top of my christmas shopping list anyway so after finishing getting mom/sister/cousins stuff, I got a bottle of Black Amethyst EDT.

I'm in love.

[vermillion]

I have tons of perfumes and body washes. I wear cotton candy from Body Fantasy (walmart...hehe) a lot because I love smelling like a carnival. For special occasions I have Dulce and Gabanna "Light Blue"
I just recently ran out of Slatkin Persian Lime and Mimosa body wash, which is my FAVVVVVVVV but it's like 30 dollars a bottle...
My hair smells like...aussie

[Mishty]

So, anyone with me on adoring Mishty's new avatar pic? It is fabulous!

Mishty is fabulous full stop (period)- Her avitar is testiment to this fact!! :D

:blush: Thanks girls.....

[sweet&fat]

at the moment, Coco Mademoiselle and coffee. not sure it's the best combination!

[littlefairywren]

I love perfume! My four top picks would be Opium (Yves St Laurent), Coco (Chanel), or Amorito and Vanilla EDT from the Bodyshop. But the Amorito has been discontinued which I miss.....it smelt like chocolate, so I felt quiet tasty :)

[Tad]

at the moment, Coco Mademoiselle and coffee. not sure it's the best combination!

I don't know....is there anytime where coffee isn't a good smell? :D

[wicked_pear]

I've tried to stick with a jasmine scent, I know old lady, It used to be real common, tho now I'm starting to like enchanted orchid from Bath & Body works as a replacement.

[jamie]

Anymore I always smell of either Baby Magic's baby wash and lotion or "Summerhill" from Crabtree & Evelyn. I like them both because they are clean and light. It is usually the baby stuff though, it is my favorite smell. My hair is slightly coconutty from Paul Mitchell's Shampoo One.

[lovelocs]

I need a new scent... Right now I wear Calgon's Tahitian Orchid. The bottle's almost empty, but I don't think I'll be repeating it... Unless I'm freshly bathed, it just stinks. It doesn't like my body chemistry. A few years ago, I wore a Healing Garden scent which they discontinued. Before that, it was white musk fantasy by Body Fantasies... Yes, I am a plastic bottle perfume girl. I can't wear the white musk, because it reminds me of my ex, and sex, and is therefore a handicapping distraction. I may go back to essential oils.
.
.

I generally like to spray a little scent over me before I begin the day, and also add a little to the area between my legs. I find that that, plus my natural scent, is very pleasant and alluring.
.
.
I do not like to change up my scents, and I prefer it when other people don't. I like to know who I'm smelling... In college, I had a crush who always smelled great. One day, I got a whiff of his cologne a few seconds before I saw him. My heart leapt out of my chest, it was that extreme. Later on, I had a boss who wasn't the most handsome man on earth, but he had a scent he had custom blended. After he'd walk down the hall, women would stand up and lean into the hall, just to smell his scent. Pure sexy.

[kayrae]

always smell like lotion. i'm a fan of citrus scents

[katorade]

L'Occitane's honey & lemon hand cream, L'Occitane eau de miel, L'Occitane amber eau de parfum (noticing a pattern here?), Demeter's Wet Garden, Burberry Brit (don't wear it that much), and Elizabeth W's Vetiver.

For anyone that loves clean florals, herbals, or citrusy scents, you have to check out Vetiver. It has a wonderful fresh smell of lemon verbena and maybe a little bit of cedar or cypress, and it's almost a unisex scent, but the finish just has the lightest hint of a citrus blossom that makes it just feminine enough. Most of my male friends that are not fans of "perfumey" smells have liked it a lot.

In the colder months, I'm also a sucker for Dolce & Gabbana and Tresor, worn verrrrrrrrrry lightly.

[ashmamma84]

Lately I've been smelling like Lola by Marc Jacobs. Not only does it smell wonderful, the bottle is gorgeous on the vanity.

[Tanuki]

I have been told I naturally smell like citrus and lime... hehe, I don't smell it myself

[Surlysomething]

Fall/Winter - Spellbound (Estee Lauder)

Spring/Summer - Dream (Gap)/ Exotic Coconut (B&BW)

[Misha]

I've been told that American's smell like cottage cheese. To other Americans, I've been told I often smell of coffee.

These days I wear Bulgari Aqua whenever I have a collared shirt on.


The Americans in Hawaii (mostly a mix of Filipino,Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Marshalese, Polynesian and White) smell like garlic and grease. Its nauseating.

I smell like Gautier Man and soap. I wash my hair atleast twice a day with Axe.

[Jes]

[Paquito]

As long as you don't smell like Asian mixtures, apparently it's all good.

[Misha]

I just find garlic and grease nauseating. It smells like a damp gym. It's not racist, half my family is Chinese. And Marshallese and Polynesian aren't Asian. People here just have a penchant for garlic and frying things. And not bathing. Infact it is such an issue, it went to the State House that the Bus should have the right to ban people who stink from getting on the bus. The Bus (that's actually the company;s name) lost in court because that "would infringe on people's rights".

[kayrae]

I'm irritated now.

[Jes]

I'm irritated now.

is it the smell of damp gym that's doing it to you, kayrae? Don't lie.

[msbard90]

I've always wanted to know what I smell like. Well, I know what I put on me. I shampoo with Redken and wash up with aveeno oatmeal wash, I've been spraying myself with Victoria's Secret Good Day sunshine, and deodorize with secret baby powder scent. But.... I have always wanted to know, beyond the false chemical smells, what I really really smell like. What does my warmth smell like. Do I smell like a musty closet or like grass? Or like warm baking bread.. Who knows, but I'd like someone to tell me.

[stan_der_man]

When I met my birth brother for the first time, we discovered that each one of us had a super power. He never brushes his teeth and has no cavities, and I can easily go for more than a week without showering and not stink. Although after 2 weeks of not showering, I've been told that I smell like freshly baked bread.

[Saoirse]

That's what it must be Saoirse, my breath in particular! :D ;)

[Sensualbbwcurves]

Right @ this moment
Dove soap;)

[Micara]

I imagine that I smell kind of fruity most of the time, because I am constantly spraying myself with Victoria's Secert Pure Seduction. It smells like candy to me. I also may smell like Lush, because I use their products a lot, and sometimes True Star perfume. One of the guys at work once told me that I wear the "best perfume ever", so I've stuck with it. :)

[frankman]

mmmmm racism and Axe.

There are parts of the world where they call Axe deodorant Lynx. That's almost worth discriminating against.

As for my smell; it's a bit of a mix between Davidoff Cool Water, Rexona deodorant, whatever shampoo I blindly grabbed at in the supermarket and cigarette smoke in the weekends.

By the way, is it okay for me to post here? I just realize I never really did before.

[Ample Pie]

u smel liek racism

wanted to rep you for this, couldn't. dang.

---
I don't know what I smell like except right now I guess I smell like my lotion which is mostly nondescript though lightly floral.

HOWEVER

I love to sniff people. It's a bit off putting and maybe I'm part canine, because (while I don't generally sniff butts) I have been known to meet someone and ask if I can smell their arm pit--it's certainly where you're going to get a concentrated sniff. ...

What?

[HappyFA75]

At the moment, i smell like Sweat. Cant find my two colognes. I am due to buy some Ferrari cologne. Thanks for the reminder!!!

[KittyKitten]

I always make sure I smell good, and I'm a perfume-holic. Right now I'm wearing Tresor by Lancome. That is my signature scent. I also love the Bath and Body Works products especially that Sunrise one and Sweet Pea forever.

[BlackBBW2010]

Idole d'Armani by Giorgio Armani, my one luxury these days lol

[veggieforever]

I smell of J-Lo Miami Glow somedays and Thierry Mugler's 'Womanity' on other days... (and just a hint of pure virgin coconut oil as I use this on my skin to keep it super smooth and all shiney with none of the nasty chemicals of shop bought lotions and potions).

Mmmmmmmm, it's simply deeeeee-lish!! I could sniff myself for hours not to mention get high on all the compliments people give when they catch a wee designer whiff of me! :-) lol :p xXx

[bbwjessiestroxxx]

Hey yall

I know Ive not been around in a long while but this topic amused me and made me laugh, So I decided to answer.


I usually smell like Mariah Careys PINK perfume or Cotton candy body spray




So have a good day :kiss2:

[CastingPearls]

Either Guerlain's Shalimar or Marilyn Miglin's Sixth Sense

[thirtiesgirl]

I wish I knew what I smelled like. I don't have a very good sense of smell, so I don't usually wear perfume or body spray unless I'm going out somewhere. If I wear a scent, I'm mostly guessing at what it smells like. I wish someone would recommend a perfume or particular scent to me based on what they think would suit me, but I've yet to find someone who feels they know me well enough to do so.

[sowhat]

Honestly, not much of anything. Maybe dove bar clean?

I have gotten botox in my armpits, hairline and feet since I was maybe 14-15 (7-8 years ago). I don't wear any deodorant or antiperspirant (never EVER will I sweat out those spots, so no need). I also can't stand fragranced hair or skin products. It also can worse when you mix fragranced products; which I do a lot to get what I want for hold, shine, feel, etc.

[Alicia Rose]

Usually I smell like a mix of cocoa butter and either cherry blossom body spray or citrus. Or, according to my roommate, I smell "like Alicia". Which I guess is a good thing. :p

[Fox]

I've been told I smell like cinnamon. :D

[veggieforever]

I usually smell like Mariah Careys PINK perfume or Cotton candy body spray





Mmmmmm.... Cotton Candy body spray sound just yummie!! :eat2:

I changed oil in both cars today so I smell like GoJo hand cleaner.LOL

[SSBBW Katerina]

...... a 'Cinnapie' from Papa Johns Pizza. Cinnamon comes right through my pores. So I smell quite sweet & edible.:eat2:

Katerina

[PinkRodery]

Apparently I smell like rain and flowers.

[Dromond]

I smell like Mennen Speed Stick deodorant. It has a favorable chemical reaction with my skin oils that produces a very pleasant (and pronounced) aftershave-like smell. I have to be careful not to use very much deodorant or the effect gets a bit out of control.

[Duchess of York]

Today I smell like Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue...:wubu:

[Candy_Coated_Clown]

At the moment, I smell like toasted coconut meat or fragrant coconut oil. I always apply 100% virgin coconut oil after I take a shower...all over (including face and hair).

It's great for the skin.

[Jes]

My bed, clove cigarettes and sex.

[Cors]

I smell like bacon grease and my butch friends say they love that more than sweet perfumes.

[Luv2BNaughty]

My signature scent is Hugo Boss for Women (original, not Red, etc.) I love love love it! I alternate with Estee Lauder's Pleasures.

[vinarian]

depending on my mood either axe (shampoo, wash, deoderant and spray), or dr. bronners magical soap

[Brenda]

Piss and vinegar.

[genevathistime]

Japanese cherry blossom from bath and body works, Exotic coconut body spray, Very Sexy and Love Spell...and shampoo's? I once had an ex lover tell me "Geneva, you always smell like delicious fruits and stuff..." lol

So yeah.

[LadyFae]

I love soft, yummy pretty scents used with a light hand (it’s overwhelming to nearly be knocked out cold by smelling someone from across the room, did they pour the whole bottle on themselves…*dizzy*…lol)! I've been told I always smell good; usually like sweets/candy, fresh soft floral scents, baked goods or just freshly showered/natural/clean (I work in a “scent free” environment).

I’m a big fan of The Body Shop and Bath and Body Works products (YUMM). I’ve also been known to wear Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers “G” perfume, J-Lo’s “Glow,” Calgon “marshmallow” body spray, “Happy” by Clinique, and a few other delicious scents.

I also really love that natural freshly showered smell when I’m dating a special sweetie (no scented body lotions, colognes/perfumes, etc -- just “clean” smelling), thus, allowing our natural scent to come through -- Quite attractive I find! :wubu:

[amandasevie]

Creepy topic. Why are we replying?

Lots of people here are speaking about perfume, etc. Please be conservative with it. Nothing is more offensive than a person wearing heavy cologne or perfume. I will leave a restaurant before I'll pay to eat food I can't taste because of a nearby patron who bathed in an artificial scent. It is literally as bad as smoking.

[CastingPearls]

To each his/her own.

Philosophy's Vanilla Birthday Cake shower cream. I smell like a cupcake. LOL

[LeoGibson]

My shaving ritual is to do my head and face with an unscented shaving cream, then apply witch hazel to the shaved areas. After that dries I do a couple of spritzes of cologne.

Summer time I like a nice cool, clean scent so I use Cool Water

Winter I like Drakkar Noir

[KittyKitten]

Right now, I'm smelling like Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan.

[The Fez]

sweat, tears and urine

[Ellie]

sweat, tears and urine

*swoon*

I smell of Stella McCartney's original scent most of the time which is kind of like a mix of roses and alcohol. I dig it.

And maybe a hint of pears too from my shampoo. :huh:

[imaginarydiva21]

i love to mix my perfume usually i will wear ed hardy mixed with a bit of juicy coture

i also love to wear mens joop it smells lush

[Olivio]

Now I am stating to wonder if there is something wrong with my fid. Snoopy does have a very pleasant aroma from time to time but it is very faint and only occasional. Or maybe us old folks aer losing our senses of smell??? Sounds like you guys's birdies smell pretty strong most of the time?

[Jah]

My sweat smells like onion grass, which is unpleasant. So I usually wear plenty of deoderant and perfume. In particular I like sweet smelling perfumes.

[KittyKitten]

I'm a perfume freak! Right now I smell like Bath and Body works Paris Amour and sprayed a bit of Chanel No5 along with that body spray.

[Surlysomething]

HELLO SUMMER! :D

I've been transitioning for six and a half years.
At this point (due to hormones and testosterone suppression) I pretty much "smell" female.
Especially my genitals and armpits.
It was one o the first major changes to my body, and I love it!

[Surlysomething]

The thread is for this:

"What do you use or wear, if any? Do you have a signature scent, or do you match your fragrance with what you wear? Any interesting reactions to your smell?"

Just an fyi.

[WhiteHotRazor]

I use that that Old Spice body wash and deodorant called Figi. It smells pretty damn good in my opinion but according to the old spice people I should smell like "Palm Trees, Sunshine and Freedom".

but,If it really smelled like that I think I would smell like a mix of grassy, burnt and bloody with a hint of gun powder.

This might be weird, but I am always fascinated by how others smell, be it their natural scent, shampoo, deodorant, perfume or even fresh sweat and I wonder what you lovely queer Dimmers (or straight ones cool enough to venture in here) smell like.

I smell like "Teen Spirit" and "Chanel Chance"

I have a disease called "Sarcoidosis".. my lungs seize up, I get a migraine and can't breathe. I vomit, shake and pass out. It sucks ass. I LOVE lilac..LOVE IT.

Vanilla is starting to do it to me too.

The base notes and oils (especially the lilac and one unidentifiable one that isn't lavender) of Avon scents nauseate me except for one called Fantasque Louis Feraud. I'm not even sure they make it anymore. I also get really sick from anything with lily of the valley no matter who makes it. I like all the real flowers, just those scents and that base oil...not for me.

[Dromond]

I currently smell like Ocean Breeze shampoo and Rain Water body wash. Fresh out of the shower. :)

I've been using the original Ghost perfume for years, so that's what I usually smell like. Although I sometimes smell like vanilla because I have vanilla scented lip balm.

Ghost perfume? .. what's it smell like?

Valentina - the new one by you guessed it Valentino --- and underneath it all a bit of grumpiness and dislike for everything....:)

[Dromond]

Ghost perfume? .. what's it smell like?

Ectoplasm?

[Victoria08]

Ghost perfume? .. what's it smell like?

Well according to their website..."Understated yet gloriously feminine and a true modern classic. Sparkling fresh notes of Ambrette and Rose mix with sensual Jasmine and Hibiscus to convey an enticing floral bouquet. Incense, Sandalwood, aromatic Vanilla and musk give a deeper foundation to this iconic fragrance."

All I can say is that it smells really good.

Ectoplasm?

:D Not quite.

[Surlysomething]

We have the same undertones! Nice! :p --- and underneath it all a bit of grumpiness and dislike for everything....:)

[dharmabean]

Ectoplasm?

Bwahhah! I was thinking, "Ghost perfume.. must smell like it's not really there."

I looked it up.. I'm on board for all the oils used, but for vanilla. If it's an overpowering vanilla... I'd pass. Victoria, does it smell blended well, or is the vanilla way strong like a glittery stripper in a club?

Personally, I can't really smell vanilla in the perfume - it's more floral to me. I've never been concerned that I smell like a stripper, so I think that's a good sign :p.

[loopytheone]

I smell like shampoo and deodorant I suppose! I used to use various types of herbal essences but I use head and shoulders now so it doesn't have such a strong smell. I've been told that I smell like girl regardless! Not sure how as I never wear scented perfumes or body sprays or anything!

[Oona]

My blueberry scented shampoo and ck obsession today because it reminds me of someone special. I love squirting my girlfriends perfume on an item of clothing so i can imagine her being with me all day. I just need to close my eyes breath deep and imagine she is there

[sowhat]

I have a side job now at a department store selling fragrances and cosmetics(its a ton of fun doing my hobby for money). I often reek of a hodgepodge of fragrances, but today I wore Calvin Klein Euphoria.
