Fragrance and Sexuality
So, for centuries, smelly people have been dousing themselves in perfumes and colognes in an attempt to distract the world from their body odor. In these modern times of indoor plumbing, deodorant, and daily showeing, it's not so necessary to wear perfume or cologne. Many people chose to spritz themselves, particularly on special occasions. My question is does fragrance "do anything for you"? Is it annoying/irritating? Do you love a whiff of scent?
I'm big on smells. I wear a little perfume on special occasions, and from day to day use scented lotion or body spray. And I love a man with a little cologne on. Please, don't douse yourself in foo-foo (did anyone elses's mama use that term?) but a little Curve is nice. Some smells just say, "Sexy man!" I wouldn't say that smell "turns me on", but it's definetly pleasing.
I think smell is closely related to memory. Like, I don't think I could date a guy who drinks bourbon because he'd smell like my daddy. And the scent of Estee Lauder's Pleasures will always make me a little weak in the knees. Any scent that makes you pause?
All right, so I've rambled enough. Smells...discuss. :-)
