Perfume & Cologne

[southernsky]

I'm not entirely sure if this counts as a fetish or not (and as such belongs in the fetishes thread). There are some perfumes and colognes that just make me wetter than hell and just shaky-aroused, like ungodly so. I haven't heard anyone else mention this, so I wanted to talk about it. My current absolute favorites are Beckham and Gucci Guilty. Tresor in Love smells good, but isn't 150% arousing to me like the other two. Anyone else have this happen? Any good scents I should go get samples of?

I recently abandoned perfume and started wearing a mens cologne, I just fell in love with the scent and I've gotten plenty of compliments because of it. It's called Fierce and it's only sold at Abercrombie & Fitch.

Scents

I think it goes back into our primal self, those scents must trigger your core pheromone response-pure limbic brain pleasure. I am really intensely scent driven, but I am driven by body scent primarily. If the base scent of a male does not appeal to me, it does not matter what wonderful cologne he has on, and conversely even a scent I do not prefer(Axe products for example ) will smell so good to me if I like his base scent.
I also have never, ever been able to submit or play, even vanilla style, with someone whose base scent I do not respond to, even if they are attractive to me on other levels. Whereas once I have a scent that I want, I can smell them in a crowded room. Same thing goes for the way their skin tastes, and kisses taste...oh my just got a shiver thinking about my Alpha's smell. I love nothing better than sleeping on the pillow he used, and smelling us in the bed after we play.

I stopped using "traditional" perfume recently, in favour of simpler, less complicated scents- my favourite right now is great tea and jasmine.

I find natural scent of skin, combined with soap and washing detergent is appealing to me more than heavy aftershaves or perfumes...

I do have a perfume fetish.....
Right now I love Jo Malone...Pomegranate Noir but most of the time I love exotics from Morocco. highly intoxicating

I dislike most perfumes and colognes. One reason why is many people seem to not understand that if they bring a cloud of scent with them, good or bad, it can be very unpleasant to many of us.

When I was pregnant with my second child I found such literally sickened me. My tolerance hasn't improved much in the years since.

At one time, I remember, getting drunk because I was miserable with my first husband and wanted to die or to feel anything. I remember going out to a dance club. There was an elusive scent on one fellow that made me want to devour him. Later I realized that was the cologne my father used. Delicious guilt soared through me, though, I'd done nothing wrong regardless.

*sigh*

I'm allergic to most perfumes and colognes, so they normally just make me want to avoid whoever is using them. Especially if they are using a LOT of them.

I have had a similar experience with Chloie perfume for women. A girl I knew years ago wore it and if I smell it on a woman i get hard just from the smell. I guess it triggers pleasant memories

By the way I'm Bill

I'm the same.

The smell itself doesn't make me horny, but smelling Mr's deodorant elsewhere makes me think of him and squirm.

 

[ShyVixen]

I didn't think I had a cologne fetish until fairly recently. The scent my PYL wears is just delectable.

 

[culloden]

I have an aversion to most, perhaps because many are migraine triggers with me.

What's wrong with our natural body scents? Assuming normal cleanliness. Love it when my wife smells slightly sweaty.

While I have a notoriously terrible sense of smell, ^this appears to be true for me. I have a feeling that if my nose was better, I'd probably be much more attracted to scents than what I am currently capable of.

Scent

I was out with friends last night and all of us were discussing this, and my friend's husband said,"So your super-power is extreme scent?" And I think it is, I could pick my Alpha out in a room full of men, blindfolded...just by his scent. I had a teacher in culinary school who loved to test my abilities by letting other students taste broth or sauce and then he'd only let me smell it. My track record for ingredient identification was higher than theirs. Sadly bad smells are just as strong, and omg during pregnancy it was a nightmare.

My wife is a perfume genius. I showed her this thread, and she says if you can name notes you like, or other things about it, she can give you recommendations for others to try.

I agree with this. I thought I was weird that I get weak-kneed when B's sweaty, but his natural scent sends me into overdrive and that's magnified with a little sweat. I don't have migraine issues, but other people's "just right" volume of cologne makes me sneeze. Most people have a natural musky scent and so long as hygiene is well maintained, it's usually better than the chemical-smells of many/most perfumes and colognes. If hygiene is an issue, though... Whew.

 

[KoPilot]

The things I think people should focus on more than perfume and cologne are BREATH MINTS! Proper oral hygiene! Of course if you've got a stinky snatch that people can smell from standing within a few feet of you, then you've got other problems that ocean mist body splash can't fix.

I've known people that have such bad breath that being in the same room with them while they're talking a lot is a little nauseating. What's a shame is that they don't smell bad when their mouth is shut.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with sweaty man, it's delectable. I don't like perfume & cologne on purpose, it's just that I smelled some scent on a man a long long time ago ( I have NO idea what it was), and it was like a shock to the clit, weak in the knees, etc. I guess we're few and far between and most people don't quite react that strongly

Etoile, I like spicy scents that aren't too floral and that's all I know. I'm not a perfume genius, sadly.

I'll ask, I'm sure she can come up with some recommendations! You can check them out at your local department store.

Usually only natural bodyscent turns me on, though occasionally my partner will wear traces of applied scent on special occasions, and I love that, as I love her taste in everything.

But natural sweat and sex-odour are the biggest turnon for me. Especially hers...

When I was young I was sometimes with women who applied chemical scent to their cunts. Total turnoff. I fucked them of course, but hated eating them. And never had sex with them again. Anyone, M or F, needs to be proud and confident about who THEY are. Including how they smell.

It has been scientificaly proven there is a link between the way another smells, and our choice of a mate through that. The scent of one person we are attracted to might have the complete opposite effect on our friend...it is all down to chemistry and science. This also probably has a lot of basis in why certain perfumes appeal to us while others don't...it is a very individual thing. It is also wise to test a perfume on your own skin before buying it for yourself as the way it reacts with the skin, and the aroma this creates, will differ from person to person, and definately from a spray sample on a card. There are some colognes and perfumes which can have a very strong reaction on me....unfortunately, F is allergic to all such things so I just have to enjoy and resist the occasional waft I sense when out and about.

Reporting back! My wife says:

Obsession
Opium
Black Cashmere
Nu
Youth Dew

None of these are "light", so you may have to shop around for something more to their taste. But these are spicy and not very floral, to my nose.

John Varvatos Vintage. Yum.

No, make that YUM!

We went shopping today to waste some time and passed through the sniffy section because I needed a refill and picked up this tester while the sales lady was getting mine out. I don't know what it is about it that I liked, but it's not overpowering like most and is enough to make you purr. On him, it definitely is. He bought a bottle when I got a little lightheaded because I was inhaling the yummy scent too much. It's not the overpowering chemical smell many colognes have, it's got a good mild spice to it. Mmm.

We went because I was out of my favorite and I almost told her to put back mine. I'll probably steal a spritz of his once in a while. Am I the only weirdo that usually likes mens colognes better? They smell different on women I think. I think it's why the only perfume designed for women that I really like is Dolce Gabbana One. It's got a little bit of that to it.

Some people seem to think that they need to bath in these scents and that is why so many dislike them now. When I where Cologne I use very little and I tend to pick lighter fragrances. When I wear it you do not smell me when I enter a room.

I wear cologne is such a manner that you smell it when you get close to me and even then it is nothing more than a hint. For you to get the full effect you would have to get pretty up close and personal. I have smelled some perfume's that work wonders. I enjoy it when you get that brief hint when they go by just the faint oder that seems to vanish when they stop to talk to you.
