Way back when my butch spouse and I first got together, I was into heavy scents: Opium, Poison, Dark Vanilla, real strong patchouli, etc. and she loved them too. However, ever since she had her first stroke, all her taste buds and scents are all off and stuff she used to love to smell and or eat, she now can't stand. She only got her taste for coffee back, that's it and that took a few years. Now she can only stand real light scents, so I usually just wear an oil or a light body spray. I still wear my patchouli but only a drop behind each ear, because I love it almost as much as I love coconut. Sometimes I will just wear cocoa butter lotion and she says she smells that but it's good. If I wear Bath & Body works coconut spray I can't wear too much though or she is gagging and coughing. Plus I'm a cna in a nursing home, on a rehab floor and we really are not supposed to wear any scents. Sometimes in the Summer I will splash on a little Jean Nate after my evening shower and my spouse is ok with that because she says it smells like baby powder.

I'm just an "irish spring" and "pert" person:fastdraq:

What I love about my perfumes from L'Occitane is tgat they are essential oil based. They really don't have a heavy fragrance and I use very little.

for some time now, I do men's Cool Water after shave, use a little like cologne ... it seems lighter to me than the cologne

I don't always know when I'm wearing too much as my sense of smell is off kilter. If I can smell it on myself and it's not too much for me then I go with it.
