Aside from the shampoo scent, I couldn't remember her having _any_ scent. So after reading this, I went downstairs and gave her a sniff -- nicely, of course. She has a very faint scent, but it reminds me of -- hot chocolate, of all things. Then she gave _me_ a sniff and told me that I have the same scent. We don't use the same soaps or shampoos at all, so this is probably the basic body scents that we're picking up.
Could it be that we were originally attracted to each other in part because we smell the same? That we never noticed each other's scent consciously because they're identical, but that unconsciously it made a lot of difference? I vaguely remember talk of such things on TV.
Long ago I had a girlfriend who smelled like bratwurst. That relationship ended badly.
