Scent fetishists unite!

Have you ever been able to narrow down exactly what smells do it for your olfactory bits? I have a serious fascination with scent and smell and sensation, to the point I stop strangers and ask what they’re wearing or (worse) tell them to do everybody a favour and shower! lol

Just recently, I have started to narrow down which smells work for me… ground cumin in a mortar and pestle… melted dark chocolate with cinnamon (while baking)…

    Glasshouse Fragrances. I dont even know but their range is just heaven, you’ll definitely fall in love with one of their fragrances.

    Vanilla is always lovely but recently I’ve been liking pomegranate!

    One scent that I really love is the smell of tomato plants. I don’t know if it is in any perfumes but every time I accidently bruise a leaf on my tomato bush I think, man that would make a great perfume.

    beautystar, have you ever tried Haus of Gloi Insalata Nocturna perfume oil? I had a sample of it once and it smelled quite tomato-y on me (which I wasn’t overly keen on, personally).

    They do sample sizes, and their shipping is pretty reasonable and quick.

    Vanilla, Musk, Coconut and Toast.
    A perfume that smells like Toast would be awesome.

    Man I wish I had your guts! There’s a tonne of people that come into my work that smell like they haven’t showered in years!

    Went into a “specialist” perfume store today… how sad that perfumier’s don’t even know what a base note is! *sigh*

    Watch the movie Perfume- Story of a Murderer for a new appreciation of the beauty of scent. Its one of my fave’s.

    Wow, they really didn’t know what a base note is? Surely they learn that in their training?

    I love that perfume movie. I also wanted to read the book, but since I’ve already seen the movie I’m not sure I can be bothered.

    I love the smell of cotton candy and vanilla.
