i can always smell solvent if an oil isn't pure. that's why i spend so much time blending my own. | |

Sadly, the younger generation around here rarely wears perfume in public (and when they do it's limited to a couple of bad trendy scents)...but you can always count on a middle aged woman to smell sexy, and if she also smokes, it has my attention.  | |

Posted: 1/28/2007 3:10:12 PM | | The perfume industry would go under if we were not atracted to smell's. I have old clothes, jackets sweat shirts the girl friends either sprayed with thier perfume, or it rubbed off, Since I live in the desert, only rarely do we need warm clothes. I lent these old clothes to girl friends and I can still smell them and remember who wore them, even girls have thier own smell. But its all good, we use smell to track down what we want. And yes I've heard of people being turned on by certain smells. | |

Posted: 1/28/2007 3:57:06 PM | Oooh, alan13446....I'm too sexy for my melon, too sexy for my pumkin....too sexxxxxyyyyy.
Your post made me perk. I'm 45, have always worn Chanel No.5, smoke Virgina Slims occaisionally.
The fact is, some perfumes do absorb more smoke odor than others as does some dry cleaning fluids. The cheaper cigarettes too, linger stronger than the VS brand.
But I don't want to smell like I'm twenty. I want to present my scent in a mature way. The classic scents, never EVER the cheapy ones, expecially if it has some famous teeny bopper's name on it. A middle aged woman wears her scent better, she knows her phermones are more mature as well.
Give me Chanel, YouthDew, Worth, Odalesque, Black Noir.....softer scents used sparingly.
Oh but my favorite scent on a man is LEATHER. Leather makes me feel loved.
But I also love the scent of bed sheets that were dried on the clothesline in the sun.
mmmmmm..... | |

Posted: 1/28/2007 4:36:54 PM | | There are a few scents that can turn my head. Like fresh baked apple pie. As for scents on a lady I like anything that is not too over bearing. The smell of just washed hair on a lady is awesome as well. I found hand lotion called sweet pea is also very nice on a lady. | |

Posted: 1/28/2007 4:39:15 PM | I read that about pumpkin pie as well, but can't say that I agree.
That said, I also like those vanilla/cinnamon aromas as well. They rotate in my potpurri burner regularly, along with lemongrass .
I still remember one girl from high school that used to chew Dentyne cinnamon gum all the time. For a while there, it was almost a Pavlovian response to that smell.
I just find it rather soothing to smell such aromas in the house.
As for colognes, I still stand with my personal favorite "Eau Savage". It's a classic scent, and most women are not that familiar with it. That means they won't associate with anyone else but you.  It's pretty much a given, when I wear that cologne on a date, that the woman will compliment me on it, and ask what I am wearing.  | |

Posted: 1/28/2007 10:12:02 PM | | That's because you just turned yourself into a human Cinnabon. Steve Martin used to say he wore "Tuna Fish Sandwich". He put a tuna sandwich under each arm in the morning and the scent lasted all day. UUUUGGGGHHHHH!!! | |

Posted: 1/29/2007 11:33:11 AM | I used to have this perume oil blend called "Venus." I forget what all was in it, but I remember it had ylang-ylang in it. & it smelled heavenly. Not overpowering at all. I'm afraid to wear ylang ylang though because I have problems with low blood pressure.  | |

Posted: 1/29/2007 1:27:38 PM | There are many area's of research for smell and brain chemistry...it is one of the least understood of our main senses. The have many websites to help de-code the way human brains interpet smell signals from the nose to the brain. An excellent story of one genius obession with decoding how human minds decipher olfactory signals is " The Emperor of Scent" by Chandler Burr...
I do know that vanilla is an aroma that has one of the most stimulating (and subtle) effects on many humans....The reason vanilla is tiny component of mothers milk, humans equate the vanilla molecule with being safe, warm and happy...
As for the Million dollar question, if you can figure out which aroma will make u hot and horney you have discovered the "Holy Grail" and will be worth 100 OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS...Please let me know if you do....I want to buy some...

Posted: 1/29/2007 1:31:41 PM | | Some companies do have pure essential oils....Mine does, we sell only the pure blends and the oils of an extracted plant or fruit, to be used for a variety of reasons...Te solvent you are proably refering to is either propylene glycol or buylene glycol and are used in th cold press process to leach out the aroma from plant... | |

Posted: 1/29/2007 2:27:33 PM | Okay, I think there has to be a difference in what smells good in the air and what smells good on a woman.
I don't like smellin' like a cookie, or a peach.
That's so immature, or seems so to me.
Hell..why not pork'n bean body lotion for that matter.
Yuk.
A musk is always sensual, but some are cheap musk. But I be damned if I'm gonna smear fried taters and onions on me, cuz my man just might ask to pass the ketchup. | |

Posted: 1/29/2007 2:43:23 PM | When I was married I never really paid much attention to other women, but for example when a woman at work would wear a really intoxicating fragrance I would ask them what it was. I knew I could never tell my X about it because there is know way she would ever wear something that I thought smelled good on another woman.
Question ladies, how can your significant other approach you about a cologne that your
man smelled on another woman ? | |

Posted: 1/29/2007 3:11:13 PM | Well do you not like the perfume she wears?
Most women really want their own scent. Basically a perfume mixes with a woman's chemistry (pheromones) and may not smell the same on each woman.
The "notes" are there, but the chemistry can change it.
Some have an "essense of a fragrance, because they use lotions vs spray, or it could be another fragrance you're picking up like the shampoo or deodorant.
But I wouldn't take offense my husband or boyfriend telling me about a fragrance he liked, but can't you tell her you wanted to buy her some for valentine's day and you sampled some at the fragrance counter and the name was ______ ?
The opposite can sometimes happen as well. My husband asked me to no longer wear one fragrance after his mother passed away. She always wore it and it triggered memories of her, so no longer a turn on. That was reasonable I thought, so I gave it to my daughter. She wears it sometimes and it gives her pleasant thoughts of her grandmother. My husband knows I gave it to her and he never fails to want to hug his daughter when she's wearing it and he just holds on to her. I think that's okay.
But it was too icky to get in bed with...ya know? | |

Posted: 1/29/2007 7:59:33 PM | Malabar, just buy her a bottle and tell her you wanted to do something nice for her and asked a woman at work what perfume you might try getting her, and make it an old ugly woman if you are with someone that is jealous. I think the only thing you need to be careful of is a woman that wears a single perfume and might think you are suggesting the change because you don't like what she wears.
If you don't know her feelings, just ask her sometime if she likes to experiment with different scents or if she sticks to one that she likes. I personally stick to one perfume but if I did try different perfumes, it would not bother me a bit if you said that I noticed Jane's perfume today, it is X, and I thought you might like to try it, mind if I buy you a bottle?
Since I had my kids, there is only one perfume that does not seem to bother my allergies and the perfume that I wore for years before I had them makes me sneeze and feel like I am choking like all the rest, what's that about? | |
