On my mind recently because someone I’m not fucking mentioned that my scent aroused them. At first made me a bit self conscious because I had forgotten to wear deodorant, but it’s not the first time someone has told me that, and I’ve definitely thought to myself that the way some guys smell can get me rock hard.
It’s something I would normally keep to myself, but now I’m wondering if other people are into natural (but still clean!) scents and we just don’t talk about it because of social hangups. I think I prefer people to smell like people and not volatile chemicals.
It’s a sort of inhumanly clean sorta soap smell in some perfumes, usually in the understated minimalist ones. I like florals, fruity stuff, dirty musks, spices, but apply lightly because it’s for me, don’t want much projection. I don’t think guys usually care. I remember once I asked 3 men and one said “only vanilla”, one said “anything but vanilla” and one said “I don’t care”
So I went on just pleasing myself. Anybody close enough to smell it hopefully is already into me, lol.
Oh! I also wanted to note, it took a long time for my husband to believe that I was wearing perfume. He would say “you smell so good” and I’d say “yeah, Mure et Musc Extreme” (or whatever I had on), and he’d say “no, it’s a little bit your shampoo or body wash mostly just you, not perfume” but it was definitely the perfume.
So it is possible that some of the scent you think is just person is actually perfume, a lot of them wear down to really pretty, very human smelling skin scents.
