Wow, we never knew about this side of you petite. Interesting..... I like body lotion with abit of fragrance. Unfortunately dearie is allergic to perfume...he gets a boomin' headache and his sinus' clog up. So I haven't used any perfumed body lotion for well...probably last 15 yrs. This is how I like perfume...in a body lotion. I've never used pure perfume just for smell. I like smells of: sandalwood, jasmine flower, magnolia, lily of the valley, citrus or fresh ocean-like smells. I'm not a rose-scented nor vanilla (it kind is weird since to me, it's an "edible" smell) person. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you like Opium you should try Cocaine and Moriphine they are deritives of Opium. I wouldn’t try Crack though, it stinks. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Square Wheels Posted December 10, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 10, 2018 This is a smell free house. I work in a fragrance free environment. I love it. What smells nice to the wearer is often offensive to the sniffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What smells nice to the wearer is often offensive to the sniffer. We have the same policy for work. Can't control the passengers though and some strong scents, "Opium" included, trigger a nasty immune response in some people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted December 10, 2018 Share #11 Posted December 10, 2018 Several years ago, the woman in my life told me to switch from Old Spice to Axe. Like most men, if it smelled ok I did not feel impelled to explore other colognes, after shaves, deodorants, etc. So I asked, "What's Axe?" "It's something that won't make you smell like an old man like Old Spice does!" "Yeah, but I heard the same story a generation ago with Brut, which is more like a woman's perfume. Do they even make that anymore?" "Yeah, but get Axe." But it wasn't so easy. With Old Spice, you buy "Old Spice Classic Scent" and that works. You can play the new scents like "Aqua," and "Wild Krakengard (it really exists!)," etc. but they're all basically Old Spice scent. With Axe you have to choose between gel, lotion, and balm and scents like "Chocolate" and "Dark Temptation." Dark Temptation? The name of a man's scent? Really? Then Axe gets racial too. There's Axe Black Men's After Shave, etc. I guess White Men's is either what they've been selling or will come out next. I wonder what Asian, Native American, etc. will smell like? Do they sell Axe Aborigine in Australia? Google "axe vs old spice" and there are a huge number of discussions and studies including one that concludes, "...it is already easy to see that Old Spice dominates these [like/dislike] metrics. In terms of strength, it is clear that Old Spice is being talked about more frequently online than Axe. Their campaigns reflect this fact, as they curate and create videos/content that must be sought out online. Once a person is online looking at the video, engagement is the easy part as every video instantly has hundreds of comments and conversations flowing. The same cannot be said about Axe, whose older videos were among their most viewed, and new campagns aren’t catching on as well. Next is sentiment. Old Spice has a high degree of sentiment compared to Axe, receiving generally more than twice as many positive to negative comments."

I'm 68 and don't mind smelling like an old man! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted December 10, 2018 Share #12 Posted December 10, 2018 Not for us.. I haven't worn cologn in decades. My wife would buy me stuff she liked but I was never a fan of wearing it. Some years ago she stopped wearing perfume too? Not sure why? Anyway we dont spend $$ on smelling good anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted December 10, 2018 Share #14 Posted December 10, 2018 Someone once gave me a bottle of Old Spice, probably one of my kids. My wife told me not to wear it. She said it made me smell like her dad. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
