Just got some shower gel called Boreal Forest. I smell

[applegrove]

like a pine tree. It was nice. What is your favorite scent?

[2naSalit]

1. Like the sound of that!

But I also like citrus flavors or lavender.

[applegrove]

2. I love citrus. I hate lavender.

[True Dough]

3. Favorite scent is cinnamon buns

But if I lather that on, I have all kinds of critters tailing me.

[applegrove]

7. Along that line croissants smell good baking in little bakeries all over Paris. Go for a walk

at about 3 or 4AM and yum.

[Niagara]

19. That's what I call a "roll model"

[True Dough]

21. I'm more of a

flash in the pan.

[Niagara]

23. Loafing around again!

[bucolic_frolic]

4. Vanilla sunflower.

but it's gotta be subtle.

[applegrove]

8. Vanilla mmmmm! Never smelt a sunflower.

[Collimator]

5. Makes me sound like an old lady from the Victorian era. . .

. . . But I do love lavender.

[Emile]

6. Lilac

[applegrove]

9. I get a dizzy headache from real lilacs. I better not try lilac.

[IronLionZion]

17. It's a very controversial scent on another forum I belong too

The Lilac scent doesn't work for everyone. For some folks it smells like a great flowery scent. For others it smells like cat pee.

[3catwoman3]

32. The city of Rochester, NY, has a large park with hundreds of lilac bushes...

...of all colors. One year, they were giving out samples of a lilac perfume - it was awful. Very chemical.

10. Just a Public Service Announcement (PSA)

As someone who suffers from Chronic Migraine I wish that everyone would consider how much scented products they apply. My worst attacks generally occur after I have encountered someone who has decided that they must apply the entire bottle, can, stick, etc. because more is better. I do a monthly injection of Emgality and use Nurtec when I need and they have reduced my attacks greatly, but they don't eliminate them. OK, rant over, but please use these scented items sparingly. Thanks for listening.

[Nittersing]

12. I used to have a coworker who wore copious amount of perfume

Found out some time later she was a smoker, but didn't want anyone to know... including her family!!

[Dave in VA]

13. So true, sometimes they are the worst offenders!

I've had to leave restaurants when the wait staff take a break outside to smoke and then load up on the smelly stuff to try and cover up the smell and then pop over to your table the see if you need something! BOING! Instant migraine.

[hlthe2b]

24. I get it. Fragrance (usually) doesn't incite mine--all a result of abrupt barometric pressure changes...

Unfortunately, the latter cannot be avoided...

[Dave in VA]

25. Oh, I'm not immune to being the human barometer.

I have multiple triggers. Smells, barometric pressure, sudden loud sounds. Just to name a few. The injections have helped tremendously but I still get a violent head banger every week or two. Sorry you have to be a fellow traveler with this nasty pain.

To OP, didn't mean to hijack your thread.

[GreenWave]

11. Death Wish coffeee brewing!

[OddMom20]

14. Low key fragrances

Are my game. I just got a new one called Lotus Water that’s a bit like sunshine and ocean with a smidge of floral. I like it, and I figure it’s gotta be good since my 10 year old has used half the bottle already.

[IronLionZion]

15. I like Urban Woods and Tabac

I checked the scent profiles of both, and they have tobacco. Apparently I like the smell of green tobacco leaf because I hate the scent of smoked tobacco.

Taconic Shave Urban Woods https://www.taconicshave.com/shaving/solid-cologne-urban-woods/
Fragrance Notes: Cedar. Tobacco. Bergamot

Tabac: https://tabac.de/en/collections/tabac-original
a blend of bergamot, neroli, lavender and is accented with tobacco, oakmoss and vanilla.


Both are available for shaving products: soap, cream, aftershave, and cologne. Tabac also has bath soap, deodorant, and a bunch of other products.

16. Old Spice Classic for on-me. - but pine is good, and gardenias and jasmine, of the naturals.

[Niagara]

18. I had an elderly lady that I use to care give for a few years ago

I couldn't be around her real Christmas tree because it infused a migraine headache for me.


Other items that produce a migraine for me: vaping juice, certain cologne, certain perfumes and all scented candles.


Obviously I can't go into candle and Bath and Body Works type of stores.


Please don't be creeping up on me, applegrove. I don't want a migraine today.

[applegrove]

20. Oh. You can't smell through your phone so are safe from

my pine smell. I will keep scent intolerance in mind when I venture out.

[Niagara]

22. Thank you, applegrove 🌲

[marble falls]

26. I still like sandlewood. Laugh if you must.

[Ritabert]

30. I love sandalwood.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

27. I'm old...

… and patchouli has always been my thing.

Have to admit it really took the edge off when a guy slobbered after me and declared I smelled like sex, though. *willies*

Otherwise, I also like bergamot and pine-y scents.

[3catwoman3]

33. "...it really took the edge off when a guy slobbered after me and declared I smelled like sex."

Not a good pickup line - sheesh!

[buzzycrumbhunger]

36. Seriously!

Factor in that I was married at the time (big mistake) and he was standing right there with us, and I was probably a foot taller than this dude—who lived on a boat that couldn’t go anywhere. Absolutely nothing compelling about the guy—unless you’re talking about the desire to run in the opposite direction.

[3catwoman3]

37. I think some men believe that simply being male is all that is needed...

...for women to find them desirable.

[elleng]

28. Light floral

is my description for my faves; used to wear a small spritz on wrist every day. From Nina Ricci. There are several, L'air du Temps was most popular, means "the spirit of the times."

I have about 2/3 of a container still available of a different one , which my daughter and I try occasionally. Nina is one, described as 'fruity,' Premier Jour is another, described as floral, with notes of gardenia, orchid, and sweet pea.
Citrus: It includes a hint of mandarin for a fresh, bright opening.

THANKS for the discussion; reminding me of SO MUCH!!!

39. My eyes!!! TURPENTINE OIL!!!

[MIButterfly]

31. I like the smell of vanilla; coconut; and lilacs, although not all at once.

My mother and I used to come back from Vegas on the red-eye, walking through the airport at 5:00 a.m. to the scent of freshly baked Cinnabons! Oh, baby! ❤️

[Harker]

35. When my wife and I lived in Loveland, CO, we used to take lilac strolls in town...

comparing and contrasting the different aromas of the flowering bushes along the sidewalks.

Ahh.

[3catwoman3]

34. Citrusy fragrances, pine, bergamot and lavender for body products.

I love the smell of cinnamon and vanilla, when coming from food. I don't want to smell like something to eat.

[Skittles]

38. coconut is my favorite

[MustLoveBeagles]

40. I like lavender or musk
