Fragrances You Love and Hate...
My apologies if this has been posted before, I'm still reading my way through threads/posts slowly...
This is open for ALL to post – I’m curious what fragrances you love/hate and why… I love and adore Jasmine Absolute - I always have done. Jasmine has a warm, sweet, exotic and rich floral fragrance. I also, like Oregano, Basil, Ginger, and Eucalyptus for the medicinal, clean, herby fragrances and Rose for its sweet floral fragrance. I hate lavender as I find it too woody and heavy, yet, it’s a useful oil for the house, skin, hair and first aid. What about you? |
I am very sensitive to fragrances. Most of them give me a migraine so when I find a scent I can wear I stick with it!!!
I love Happy by Clinique. It's my all time favorite. My favorite from Bath & Body Works is lavender vanilla. It relaxes me. The fragrance I am wearing now is called Unspoken. Its from Avon and is advertised by Fergie. (<--- grrrr) I love a good smelling butch. And sometimes it can be dangerous if he smells too good!!! I absolutely hate any kind of rose smelling perfume. I think my kindergarten teacher wore Rose perfume and to this day I get a sick, uneasy feeling in my tummy if I smell it. Wow that takes me waaayyy back!!! :-) Jules |
My smell likes and dislikes
I absolutely adore the rose and the carnation, with carnation probably being my favorite.
I love the smell of Johnsons baby lotion, it reminds me of my son when he was little :) I love the smell of morning dew on a fresh spring morning. I love the smell of Downy "Fresh Linen" on my clean sheets. I love "Dream More" perfume by Gap. I love "Hugo Boss" for men. I hate the smell of skunks, burning or rotting flesh (yes, I've smelled it, I'm a nurse), Eucalyptus (it's too medicine like for me)....that's enough for me :p |
I love patchouli. I have various blends of it. My fav perfume is Samsara which has a jasminey scent to it. Lavender is nice but overdone everywhere. basil is my fav scent for the car. Eucalyptus was so overdone in the 70s and 80s I cant tolerate it in the home now.
People are much more careful with scents now. I remember when women were encouraged to layer their scent and perfume, bath oil, powder, lotion, etc were all necessities! Thank god its not that heavily marketed anymore! I think Avon is the only dinosaur who does that. (and I love Avon!) Now when a "layered" or scent-intoxicated person is around me, I gag. It happened the other day in fact and while I love femmey stuff, wow, that is so not cool anymore! My all time fav scent to wear and have in my house is Nag Champa. I have a past life association with it... |
I like camomile and cinnamon ,also cucumber. I love the smell of wet cedar and burning hickory. I don't like rose scented things or too floral smelling things. Don't like the smell of curry cooking.

FAVES: Nag Champs...Patchouli....freshly laundered Downy Vanilla Lavender scented sheets and towels.....hickory and/or oak fires....scents of fall...pumpkins...hay...mums...
DISLIKES: Heavily perfumed women...a dab'll do ya, for me, anyway. I do not like the rose smelling ones...my ALL time fave on a woman is Lolita by Lempicke...but I am sure, someone, somewhere, will entice me something again...<smiles>. For me..I LOVE Diesel Men's Cologne, Axe Body Wash and After Bath Spray...Dark Temptations...and I got a new one this year...PS...don't know who makes it...but dayummmm does it smell awesome when I put it on... I don't care for the Avon scents. LOng time ago, there was a scent available at the 5 & dime (dating myself here, too) called Evening In Paris...I can NOT stand the scent of that...ewwwww |
I love the smell of cut grass.
I hate when the femme im dating wears sickly sweet scents.. like Vanilla I hate the smell of Vanilla. I wear Fahrenheit colonge thats my scent |
I love the smell of Vanilla.
I love ths smell of a new textbook. I love the contrasting scent of my showering after him. The scent of apples and cinnamon makes me nervous. I enjoy any clean scent or soft scent, but I don't like flowery scents.(excluding fresh flowers) |
I love the smells of gasoline and tar.
They remind me growing up living near a Marina in Jersey, and popping tar bubbles in the street. heh |
I make a point to spend as much of myo life smelling like coconut, I'm Floridian :)

I love the smell of freshly cut grass, the smell of the city where I was born, the smell of clean sheets against my face and the smell of a new book.
I don't like flowery smells or strong cheap perfumes. I dislike the smell of certain flowers and hate the smell of unkempt people. Interestingly enough, I also love the smell of an airplane and the airport. |

If we are talking about perfumes/colognes:
Miami Glow by J-Lo. I love it!!! Happy Heart by Clinique Fierce by Abercrombie and Fitch (will make me melt into the arms of a butch...ahhhh) As far as other scents that I like: Pine scented candles in winter Smell of rain Peony flowers Newborn baby smell |
I was born anosmic...means I have no sense of smell at all.
Every day someone, somewhere will say "here, smell this". There are so many things I would love to smell A girl Food cooking Baking bread Grass Girls Tar Woodland Gas Fire Did I say girls already? The Beach Myself The countryside after rain Girls My family My house now that I've stopped smoking My cat Gunpowder Friends et al It's odd...it's hard to explain a smell. Remember that scene in Mask where the guy explains how something feels to a blind girl to explain a sight? Well it's even harder to explain a smell. Smell is our most primal sense... it's linked to the amygdula, which is our reptilian brain. (I'm sure someone will correct me on this and I would love to know more...where does this anosmia come from??) I so envy y'all yer sense of smell. |
I am very sensitive to smells good and bad.
That being said there are many fragrances that really get to me the #1 being Patchouli. I can smell patchouli at 50 paces and it instantly gives me a migraine and makes me feel nauseous...uugghh. Just thinking about it bothers me! I very rarely wear cologne but if I do its Cool Waters. I prefer clean non overpowering perfumes on femmes. The flowery really strong scents give me migraines. I would like to add I believe many people dont really know how to wear perfumes/colognes. I like just a faint scent which catches my attention and makes me want to get closer ;) I dont like so overpowering that I can smell you 3 aisles over in WalMart lol |

I too, hate the smell of burnt/rotting flesh – I wear Eucalyptus under my nose in an attempt to keep the smell at bay. |
