Scents and allure

Vote for „original“ 😉🫶🏻

Good perfumes should do precisely that: amplify a natural scent, evoke the freshness of clean laundry, and depending on the occasion, have an animalistic undertone.

Artificial fragrances don't appeal to me much. I love the scent of rain and the sea.

I feel exactly as you explain.

Thnks for the nice topic. 👌🏽
I agree mostly and topic with you, as an addition I quote @******ord as it also agrees with me and it is essential to know what suits you and amplifies.
Those two in combination are my personal preference.

Months ago, after spending maybe 30 minutes trying all sorts of parfumes on little paper strips at one of the local shopping malls, I eventually decided I liked a Gucci parfum. I like to use it during social events because I did notice some women had a very enjoyable olfactory presence. So far I received no complaints and a few women explicitly told me they like it.

I imagine it can be a double-edge sword, in the sense that some people might not like my specific choice, a bit like not liking somebody's dressing style. And while a neon magenta piece of clothing is easy to avoid by averting one's eyes, a scent might be less avoidable.

In general scent alone is not a turn-on for me and might be a turn-off if it's bad, but it's not something I pay a lot of attention to. Ultimately I like partners for their many qualities and while a good scent might capture might attention, it will only be a small part of the equation.

Might be of interest that scents are no small thing evolutionarily speaking:

I agree 100% with @*********life!


Additionally, I hate perfumes in any situation. I don't know how it came to this, but it just bothers me the same as tobacco or a cold-started diesel: overwhelming.

A few years ago the Helsinki airport had a "scent-sensitive" passage between safety-check and gates (probably still has). I could kiss the person who agreed to implement this! If you're reading: let me kiss you; I'll focus on the corners of your mouth and make you feel like a butterfly is lifting you! Please?


A partner once started smelling me "right away" and I found it creepy. Now it's I who tries to smell everyone as soon as possible to "gather information about them"; I'm subtle at the beginning, though.
And I do feel more aroused when we're not freshly showered; If you were "out with the crew" then yes, let's shower and make the best of that. But if you've been having a normal day then please don't shower; let's just do it and get drunk on the pheromones.


Smell is such an interesting and powerful sense... If you'd ask me to remember the smell of someone I miss, I couldn't reconstruct it in my mind or describe it. But if I smell it on someone somewhere the memory immediately hits like a piano falling from the 5th floor! Lovely.

I love love by Moschino Eau de Toilette. This perfume assisted in me falling in love with the incredible woman who wore it. Ladies if you want a man to fall for you, this scent is very strongly recommended.

NOTICE: I swear by all that is sacred that I have no relationship with Moschino nor do I benefit from this post in any way whatsoever.

Play safe!

I can't easily commit to a fragrance on me. At the company, I mostly use RedColorado; for the time after that, I now have a collection, many samples included...
