There have been a number of olfactory-type threads lately, so allow me to add another. I'm an unscented product devotee. How about you?

When I shop, I purchase only unscented personal care items such as laundry soap, deodorant, TP, shaving gel, you name it. I rarely use any sort of cologne or strong scent. Generally, I find strong perfume or cologne a HUGE turn-off, especially among MEN - YUCK!!

Some people seem to reek of many competing products. Their deodorant and laundry soap may reach me more than the "scent" that they have carefully selected for themselves. These sorts of olfactory medleys are the the nastiest of all!

Which brings me to another question, maybe best left for another thread: In general, do Americans bathe too much, or do our Euro brethren bathe too little?

I too, think it is horrendously tacky for a man to reek of cologne, you should only be able to smell it if you in his personal space.

I personally do not usually wear cologne, I prefer essential oils sandalwood, frankincense, coconut, and anything dark and musky.

As for women, you know what turns me on??? Their hair smelling clean and fresh, not fruity but flowery

mmm I can just smell the beauty here in the room now...

I like a man that smells good, but clean, not coverup. Oils I think give off the best results because they work with your body's natural chemicals to create your own personal scent. A nice smell and a cute smile, with pretty white teeth...ooo --- CALM DOWN KITTY!!!

I like mine clean with a little scent...

Pretty white teeth are nice!

Sometimes the unscented products have a really horrible scent to them. I know that when I buy babywipes (no little ones around, but I like to take off my makeup with them) I don't particularly like the babypowder-y scent, but the unscented ones smell gross.

Agree with all of the above. For me, when it comes to scents, it's all about subtlety.

I am a sucker for the scented.I use the Vanilla scented shower gels , body sprays, and body lotion then my hubby says I smell like a cupcake

ooh does he eat you up and save the creamy filling for last? Maybe I'll check out the Vanilla scented shower gels.

It all depends on the product. I buy scented deoderant, and laundry detergent, and hair products...But none of them are strong smelling.

I love the smell of a good laundry detergent more than anything. Alex uses Gain. I could sniff his clothes all day. It's lovely!

Anyhow, I didn't even know they made scented TP. What's the point? You're just gonna dispose of it!

And yes, reek of colognes and perfume is pretty lame. I don't want to be able to smell anyone's perfumes, or lotions.

Lotion, yet another scented thing I hate! Especially kids who bring in stuff to class from like, Bath and Body Works. They bring in the strongest, reekiest shit. I almost passed out the other day when some girl was putting on some Cucumber Melon junk.

Alright, I know I'm gonna get my ass kicked for this, but in all seriousness, I have worn Prince's "Get Wild" cologne for years. I bought a pack of 10 bottles on eBay once and it's all I wear. And believe it or not, women LOVE IT. Or maybe it's just how it mixes with my natural pheremones...

No your right women love the Get Wild !Do you have any your willing to sell ?? hee hee Or would i be better hoping E-bay will have some more ??

eBay's probably got it...and cheaper than NPGMC...

SweeTea- I do recommend the vanilla set, call your local Avon Representative

that's an old joke-scented or unscented TP? like your thumb cares...

another old TP joke-old man's in the drugstore, clerk asks if he needs any help. he asks for TP, she asks what color would he like? he says gimme white, i'll color it myself...

if it's dick-scented, i'm there!

I don't think when it's strong it smells good on anybody. If I smell someone's perfume or cologne and they're 50 feet away they've got on wayyy too much. I can't take being around people like that for too long, because if it's that strong and I HAVE to be around them either my allergy starts up, or I develop a headache.

Scented

Scented, but lightly

perfume when I remember...

Thanks -- I will

Okay, there is a special buzz when a woman walks by me, and I am wafted by the slightest scent of a carefully chosen perfume. Ahhh...heaven.
