Smelly Stuff (the Good Kind): What's your favorite?

Somewhat thread-relevant: Axe men's body spray: What happens when a woman wears it for a
week?

 

I love wearing Old Spice. There. I said it. Mmmm.

 

I used to wear Jovan for Men as a teenager. My stepmom accidentally labeled my dad's Christmas present with my name, and I was like, "no, it's okay, this smells good, I'll keep it!" heh...awkward (not that I wore it, that I was just like, "cool, I'll keep Dad's present.")


Now, I don't really wear perfume. Most of it is just too strong for me, and I don't like the chemical-y scent that a lot of them seem to have. I have a Bath & Bodyworks glittery body spray that I like, but that's about it (Beautiful Day, ftr.) I DO like their Fresh Picked line-- the Apple lotion is my favorite.

I'm a big fan of essential oil. They smell better to me, they last longer, and you can dilute if you have super-sensitive skin. I normally wait and stock up once a year at the local Renn Fest, but I've also ordered this one in the past. (and I just realized that one's essence, but, same basic concept.)

 

for me the Fruits & Passion aftershave - light citrus fragrance - works nicely. (i got a Jovan musk bottle from my sister when I was about 20. It lasted for 10 years it was so strong. I think it evaporated.

My allergies are pretty minor; but the ingredients in a lot of perfumes make my eyes water and my nose run. I prefer the smell of clean, just soap and an unscented deodorant.

 

mmmm, yes. I missed the "what turns your head when someone walks by," question. When a man smells like Irish Spring and Speedstick, with no added cologne mucking it up... yum.

And I forgot to say in my last post-- I like "fresh" scents. Jasmine is really the heaviest thing I wear, I think. Fresh linen, apple, and lemon are particular favorites of mine. I also really dig Caress soap and Dove's green tea & cucumber body wash.
