AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Natural fruity smells are always better than anything else. The ones that aren't just smell too...artificial.

I must be the only one who doesn't like perfumes, period.

Then again I'm a gf-less loser so no need to take my opinion seriously.

Well, if the ladies are doing it right then you might not be able to tell.

Good rule of thumb is that somebody shouldn't be able to smell your musk unless they're hugging you

But Spoony, I need people to know when I've entered the room.

But yeah, I've ridden the bus with a few people who put on way too much perfume. And the people who bathe in axe (instead of actually showering).

Their smell fills the entire bus in seconds. And it can give me as bad a headache as being next to a smoker.

So... don't do it. best rule of thumb is to apply small spritzes of it to the warm parts of your body, namely under arms, on neck, and on wrists. Wrists have the added effect of giving them a hint of smell when you go to shake hands.

No, you're not alone there. To me perfume stinks no matter the scent.

Do you also have to figure out what mixes well with your natural scent? I was told something about perfumes and colognes mixing with sweat and having to find something that complimented your body's natural scent.

The "offensive" and "juvenile" comments are what concern me. The body spray I get is from Bath & Body Works and I don't feel like it's excessively fruity, just kind of sweet (cucumbers aren't horribly strong) but maybe I am just a terrible judge at everything and aaaaaaaaaa I do not know. I stay away from a lot of department store perfume sections because the scents are too strong for me so I haven't tried anything made out of say, ~sandalwood~ or what have you. (Vanilla seems like it might be nice, though.)

I smell like flowers, I very much like my smells.

I use this
And this
And I little bit of this

I haven't worried too much about my natural scent, that's what bathing is for. It might be a problem for someone who sweats a lot perhaps?

If that cucumber smell is the smell I'm thinking of, then I'm guessing it's sort of light and refreshing? Elizabeth Arden Green Tea(on the left) is very light and clean smelling. It smells like mandarins or something citrusy. Makes me feel like I've just stepped out of the shower. Maybe that's kinda what your spray is like?


When I say juvenile, I mean scents like strawberry candy. Reminds me of teenage girls who have just started using body mist. Not 'bad' exactly. But I guess certain smells work better for certain ages? Roses and musk always make me think of old ladies, doesn't matter how nice the smell is.
To be honest the two 'doll' perfumes in my set are a little bit juvenile. The blonde is like coconuts and the brunette is definitely a candy smell.

If you go shopping for scents, go to a place where they have the spray cards to test the scent on. That way you can give them time to air out before sticking your nose in. That and as I said before, often the initial smell of the spray isn't the smell you'll be wearing through the day.

You could also ask the clerk for recommendations. (or people you know)

For the record, all she got was a guy in her class looking up and sniffing the air quickly for a few seconds before returning to his notes about Stare decisis.
So, you know, not exactly the steamy romance you were promised in Harlequin.

Well first you had to figure out which girl it was. Point is, the smell got your attention.

i remember a while back, a bunch of AZ'ers were convinced their natural scent was like roses and lavender because they just took a shower and that's all they could smell

i hope you've gotten better since then AZ

are you bitter that your natural scent is pocky and tears bro

at least the pocky lightens the scent of misery mister spoons

One would have to eat a shit load of flowers in order to sweat perfume. [was about to go off on a tangent about eating healthy but decided against it].
