Fragrances You Love and Hate...

Novelafemme · 10-03-2011, 10:03 AM

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)

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.

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.
