And what kind, if any do you like on others/the opposite sex? Or hate? I for one hate Old Spice.

I personally love perfume and wear it--but not the gross department store kind with alcohol, I use perfume oil since it it's fairly subtle..And I prefer more natural smelling, earthy scents. Somestimes I'll make my own if I want something really specific. (Today I smell like tea, vanilla and honey! :D almost like a cookie )

Certain smells give me headaches though.. Like strong florals. I love jasmine, but it's so.. in your face.

I don't wear anything except for deoderant, but I am often drawn in by the smell of strawberry smell, I don't realy like strawberries but I don't know I like the smell.

I prefer the smell of olive oil under my arms but dislike perfumes.

I don't really use cologne that much. I have a little of a few various ones I have. Use a little bit of them for formal occasions and that's it.

I like a girl to smell pleasant. I dislike strong perfume. Just a good shampoo scent is usually enough for me.

i don't use cologne, it smells too strong. i do use aftershave, which does smell pretty strong to me but i like the smell so it's not that bad, and it helps get rid of any razor burn and helps stop breakouts after shaving. i also wear deodorant when i'm going to be somewhere social but it's very mild smelling, mostly just to cover up my scent. most of the time the only smell on me is my body wash and deodorant.

as for other people, i don't really like perfume but i do like subtle smells. i love it when a girl with nice smelling hair walks by and i get a whiff, it tickles the nose and is somewhat intoxicating.

I never wear the stuff. Too much stank on the
opposite sex is a turnoff. I'm very sensitive to
smells, and even if a woman is sporting a nice
scent, if it is too much, I can usually taste it after
a while. Just a touch can be too much sometimes.

Once, however, I was at a party on a rainy night.
There was a rosemary bush outside that I brushed
up against with my sweater. The rainwater soaked
into my sweater and made it smell great. I went
back outside and gave the bush a giant hug.

I always wear Clinique Happy. I've been wearing it since I was little (around nine or ten) and so if I don't wear it I smell strange. I always smell of it, though, even when I haven't put any on. I don't even like perfumes mostly, but I have to wear mine or else I smell weird and spend the rest of the day obsessively sniffing myself.

I normally only wear deodorant, unless it's a special occasion. The last time I wore cologne was at my sisters wedding, 5 years ago.

Some cologne bothers me, so I just wash up.

Never wear anything like deo or perfume. My morning routine is long enough as it is with my make-up and long showers... If you shower twice a day and use good shower creme, perfumes aren't really necessary unless you really want to have a specific smell for whatever reason. Just not smelling badly is good enough for me, so I never really put on deo or perfume.

Vanilla or a light citrus scent for me. I cannot stand strong "floral" scents or musks.

I'm quite allergic to scents. Have to use unscented shaving lotion. When I'm around people wearing cologne or perfume, it's like having a bouquet shoved in my face.

I am the same. I bath in salt water, or water with baking soda. Much easier on my skin. I use baby shampoo since it is easier on my scalp and skin around it. Anytime I smell perfume or scented candles, or smoke, I picture a cloud of the stuff coating my skin for within a few minutes, I break out in a rash and it can burn.

Thank God for water!
