lavender has a calming effect

be careful with applying it directly though, there are studies that imply effects on the hormone system

i love the smell of clovers. they have such a nice scent, both natural and subtle. i recently bought a candle that smells just like clovers and i like it a lot!

I am thinking about making scented candles… I bought some from lady who makes them and she said it is fairly easy. Would be neat little hobby…

i wear perfume, i really like chocolate scents. i have a vintage guerlain gourmand coquin from a family member but when that runs out im going to look for a cheaper dupe, since the og costs way too much money

when i worked stocking shelves at the craft store, the candle making section always tempted me. employee discount and all. i don’t need another hobby but you should give it a go!

I like the smell of oil and petrolum. I don't know why. Other industrial chemicals have an appealing smell too. I wouldn't call it nice but there's something about it that is so satisfying. I can't explain it.

I can relate, I love the smell of tires and gasoline. Maybe it's just nostalgia since I used to hang out in the autoparts section of stores with my uncle when I was a kid, but it's a really satisfying smell.

only rose scents

First fragrance I consciously bought - described as lemon candy and it really did smell like that. For a fifteen minutes or so.. but it was still wonderful. Also read a review where someone recognized a vaginal note, a proper gourmand!

I know some people put lavender on their closets for their clothes to smell of lavender, some do the same with cinnamon or clove too. Personally, i don't like how those scents mix with the closet's.

I'm a beginner in the world of fragrances, i have some but they just smell good to me, nothing more.

If you are interested, you could visit websites like Fragrantica. There, you can learn about the composition of your favorite perfumes!

>>17919
Thanks, i didn't know about that site. It has a lot of information.
Their "fragram" is also cute.

personally i don't know a thing abt perfumes, occasionally i still wear the cheap hollister festival vibes i bought when i wanted to smell of candy all the time after i bought a specific shampoo with a very very sweet melon aroma, a friend even said i look the exact opposite but when u get to know me a sweet candy scent is the most fitting :3
i'd like a more "grown up" perfume, something rather light and floral but i never find anything i'm actually happy with so i never buy some… maybe one day i'll find one that i like ^-^
my deodorant however i will never change, one time after having to buy new one after visiting my long distance (at the time) gf i tried a few different ones as i never rly had one that i always got. i chose adidas control, because the smell was so pleasant and rly comforting for some reason i couldn't put my finger on, until my gf came to visit me one day and upon coming back from the bathroom asking if i had stolen her deodorant, i'll never want any other scent uwu

absolutely getcha, while i was never into cars or around them much gas and diesel have got something to them, solvents in general have such an interesting smell to them, the biting sweetness of acetone is nice :3 another fav of mine is ozone, once you learn to pick it out you smell it quite often, now it reminds me of my hometown where it rained a lot and the pleasant smell of ozone rolling over the earth before a storm

Most of the time when I go out and about I like to wear a pleasant cologne that smells of flowers and wood.

If I'm not doing anything particularly important, I like to use rose scented oil. I have never had anyone tell me that it smells bad, and I have gotten plenty of comments from women on how nice I smell.

While >>17904 does describe one prevailing theory, another is that
>The idea here is that the small traces of benzene in gas numb our mesolimbic system, giving us a temporary euphoric feeling and associating the smell of gas with the feeling of bliss. We may not actually like the smell of gas, but we associated what it does to our brains with happiness. It could be why the same people like the smell of gas like the smell of paint, tennis balls, or nail polish. Benzene constitutes only a very small portion of gasoline, less than 1%, but our sniffers can pick up hydrocarbons at 60 parts per million in the air. (One part per million is equivalent to one drop of liquid in 10 gallons of water.)

What does female elven mages smell like?

>>18835
Mint and sweat.

>>17763
My go-to is the Dove invisible care floral touch deodorant and then a spritz of lancome idole nectar eau de parfum. They smell really nice together.

>>18835
Strong woody or herbal base with hints of spellcasting fire or citrus and fruit. But If you want perfumes, I would probably say
>Elfe D'or by Les Contes
>Moonlight by the woods collection

I've been ordering those Arab oil perfumes from Aliexpress. They are very cheap, and yet they smell really nice and last at least half a day. And theres a lot of flavors too, I have vanilla, patchouli, a citrus mix and a chocolate-ish mix and I love them. A friend told me I smell like a cake and that she loved it when I wore the latter. Couple with a talcum powder based deodorant for best effect!

>>18993
Talcum powder is poisonous. You should avoid it. And yeah, I always prefer the traditional Arab perfumes I grew up with as a kid. Professional perfumes you buy in the West make my nose go fuzzy. They have this weird gender thing going on too where anything flowery and nice is considered girly so guy's perfume smells like industrial waste. I don't really understand why.

I liked my moms deodorant because it smelled great and actually worked. She was so mad I was using it.

I only take a shower once per week

>>19124
Not comfy
Make sure you take a daily shower

I have been told I naturally smell like fresh bread on more than one occasion.

>>19137
by separate parties?

>>19138
Yep, ones that don't even know of each other. Same exact description "you smell like fresh bread". I have no idea how I ended up smelling like this though.

>>19140

i am preserved in NEET amber.

>>19142

>>19135
Too much busy work, and then for what? I don't go outside anyway.
