What do you smell like?

Well, as chrisstie bravely confessed here, she smells like onions. So, what do you smell like and what perfumed products do you use?

My wife says that I smell like caramel or candy, and all I wear is Old Spice: High Endurance (Aqua Reef) Deoderant.

Vanilla.

It's my fave scent. I use Vanilla shower gel, and moisturize with a vanilla cream when I don't use baby oil, and the perfume that I wear also has vanilla undertones to it. It's called Hypnose, by Lancome.

PoukieBear. I use Suave's Vanilla & Brown Sugar shampoo and conditioner, and it is wonderful. You would really like it.

Doug always teased me. He said I "smell like baked goods", or he'd tell me that I smelled like a cupcake.

I smell VERY SEXY....no really it's the name of the cologne that my wife gets me from Victoria's Secret and yes it is for men. I also use Crave from Calvin Kline as well as Cool Water. Oh and Tommy and Boss. You could say that I have a very wide range of smells.

If you're wearing cologne there's a very strong chance that you're annoying more people than you're attracting.

Depends on my mood I supose. Most of the time I have no smell.

My fav spring/summer fragrance is LOVE SPELL from Victoria Secrets
Fall smell is Sand and Sabel, old school there. For winter not much but Opium.

I use Chocolate Fudge body wash or Pumpmkin Spice body scrub.
If I'm in a big hurry it's Tangerine shampoo all over!

Okay first of all I said my armpits smell like onions - I didn't say I smelled like onions- I wear things to fix that!

Before I reveal my secrets
a) take your finger, rub it behind your ear, smell finger, report what you find here.

b) axe body spray smells like disgusting frat boy wanna puke smell - old spice smells like grandpa =\ Smoke? /gag.. I'll take lowtide smell ANY day

For me? I wear Escada Paradise- i'm a fruity smell person I can't handle florals. I find it to be more subtle.. this scent is mango-y

For a guy looking to try a new scent? I recommend something like Curve - a lot of man scents smell either like grandpa or a deer's butt.. I find curve to smell masculine, not too strong ( one little sprits in the air and walk into the cloud works) .. maybe a hint like aftershave but not cheesy like that..

I don't know its one of those smells that work for me. Cool water I also like in the men's section..

I can't stand stuff that smells like a magazine.

What you want to do is go to a place that sells this stuff and spray them on testers - one scent, one tester.. then go out of the area that sells them into a neutral place like outside or to another store and smell each one (try not to let them rub on each other)

then you'll get a true sense of what they smell like.

If you can't - and if the place you're at offers it there are sometimes little containers of coffee beans to clear your "pallette" between smelling scents- but i find the alcohol or whatever that is in them still isn't true to the scent until you smell it after its been dry for a while

Mine smells fine. I wear glasses, and I'm completely aware of how nasty that can smell. Thus, I take good care of that area. Plus, if I don't they get chapped, and it hurts.

I was wondering if there was anyone who would equate that smell to cheese?

Again mine doesnt smell bad but seriously smells like food. I scrub every day in the shower..but after i sweat? (walk outside for .3 seconds in FL) its like.. omg I'm halfway to a burger with the cheese and onions

Peppermint soap, American Crew shampoo and Bvlgari Aqva ("Vibrant, pure, and masculine, this crisp blend of mandarin and petit grain, spiced with sexy mineral amber, evokes a brisk, aromatic freshness, with an elegant Mediterranean touch.")
