what do you smell like?
 
just for fun.. I was going to write this thread yesterday but never did..
(then someone told me about all their clothes smelling like pwer steering fluid due to mishap and I figured now I would post it. actually really it probably suits you cos now you would even smell like a robot.)

The other week my partner bought me perfume on his return from OS(duty free). I asked for perfume, but said that I didnt want one that I already had.. which is really really hard, because Im fussy about what I like in smellyness. He did great with the help of two other ladies and sales assistants! I dont think I could choose a fragrance for him.. maybe I could.. but I wouldnt be convinced he'd like it until he tried it, maybe only 80%. He wasnt 100% sure I'd like it until I got it though..

it was this one and I love it, its kind of melon-y and vanilla-y and herb-y which is PERFECT;
 


anyway.. what do you smell like?

I like most of the cK perfums, but not all. cKbe(hate cKone), escape, in2uher etc
I love sandalwood, lotus, lemongrass, and patchouli incense, but not so much on people.

Lots of the Lush products I use smell really wonderful.. black pearl was my fav bath bomb but they stopped making it here. I bought 10 when they were almost out of stock and I think I have less than a half a one left.. It kind of smells like blueberries mixed with lavender.
my fav lush soaps are demon in the dark(cloves and peppermint), ooh lah lah(lavender and herby), and I should coco(coconut! but it smells different since they changed the way it was made and it isnt as nice anymore).. and there are two body butters that I love.. you snap the whip(VERY strong blackcurrant smell and a little herby) and something else that is sitting in my shower but I can't seem to find the name off online(smells like rose and sandalwood and citrus) and I've lost the paper that came with it.. my fav shower gel is sonic death monkey which is a mix of chocolate lime coffee and hemp oil and is fabulous first thing in the morning.

gosh I use a lot of lush products.. but hate regular soapy smells and chemicals so it is unavoidable.

basically I smell like a well washed gothy hippy with a bit of posh cK androginy thrown in for good measure.

I'd also love to know if anyone has ordered perfum from black phoenix alchemy lab since I have wanted to for about three years now and never felt confident enough in selecting perfums to try because there are SO many that sound wonderful and seem to be made up of scents that I adore in perfums/smells and I just can't choose.

I am told I smell very nice. It's a combo of brown sugar & fig bodywash (atm), my cologne (Ocean Pacific), fabric softener, and "Josh". Yes, it has been summed up by many as the "Josh" smell. Often imitated, never duplicated. However, this has led to make awkward situations in my life.

terriblecanyons 11.07.2008 12:59 AM

I guess I smell like Marilyn Monroe for wearing this:

 

Toilet & Bowels 11.07.2008 03:35 AM

i smell of booze & yesterday's sweat

shentov 11.07.2008 04:43 AM

i smell like cigarettes and alcohol.

pbradley 11.07.2008 05:22 AM

Ex-girlfriend said I had a unique but attractive (to her, I suppose) scent. She was kind of weird like that, sniffing my coats.

[Sandbag] 11.07.2008 09:08 AM

I smell like teen spirit


!

haha not really. i smell like Axe, Bubblegum (funny enough) and Thom Yorke

Pookie 11.07.2008 09:23 AM

I just spilled a bag of mixed spice, so I smell like mixed spice.

mmm gothy hippie smell. I'm a slave to Lush stuff, and get their vegan lemongrass conditioner all the time. But I don't think I will any more because of the steep price. Right now I have on Adidas Moves from an endless supply of getting it for christmas every year. The scent is aiight, but very 'fresh and sporty' so it barely suits me.
 

floatingslowly 11.07.2008 09:33 AM

today it's dolce and gabbana, not red hydraulics.

damn stuff is still in my hoodie though. I can smell it. smells like cancer.

MellySingsDoom 11.07.2008 09:37 AM

Head and Shoulders shampoo, ciggies and Imperial Leather soap. In that order.

mangajunky 11.07.2008 10:37 AM

Freshly printed books and Dial soap.

pantophobia 11.07.2008 10:44 AM

That is a fine order sir. or should I say odor?

ploesj 11.07.2008 11:16 AM

i never use perfume.
i usually smell like a mix of paint, a bit of deodorant and my hair conditioner.

flophousefloozie 11.07.2008 11:29 AM

I usually smell like marshmellows, but it's sometimes mistaken for caramel.

shentov 11.07.2008 12:25 PM

i think me and sandbag and melly smell the best.

I konw, its so expensive :( I spent $100 there today, I usually go three or four times a year and buy in one big lot, because they give you more freebees that way.. Unfort I didnt go to my usual store, and instead of extra broken stuff and ood bottles, I just got one tiny little conditioner sample! Its a conditioner that I already use and love at least.. but still. skimpy! oh well. last time at my usual store, I got two broken comforter bars, and a middle sized sonic death monkey for free. :cool: woo! thats like.. $40 in lush stuff!

The last time I was in Melbourne, I smelt of Four and Twenty pies, that "lounge" bar on Flinders Street, and ciggies.

No-one stands very close to me - just ask sarramkrop.

sarramkrop 11.08.2008 05:41 AM

booze and tangy cheese doritos

pbradley 11.08.2008 05:50 AM

uhler 11.08.2008 06:08 AM

sarramkrop 11.08.2008 06:45 AM

palmolive honey 'cause i've just had a sexy shower.

SpectralJulianIsNotDead 11.08.2008 06:56 PM

my mom occasionally will tell me that ever since I was a baby my scalp smelled like bacon

don't know about that, can't smell my scalp

I use Old Spice deodorant

and my BO to me smells like those really cheap dinner rolls that they serve at 2 bit diners. So kind of yeasty when I'm smelly.

DeadDiscoDildo 11.08.2008 07:32 PM

Well I'm a baker so I usually smell alittle bit like a mixture of flour, dough, brown sugar, cinnamon, and other spices...mixed with a bit of marijuana, cigs, and sweat (I use deoderant though!)

I dunno...it's weird but girls seem to like it

jon boy 11.08.2008 08:02 PM

i currently smell like cigarettes and chewing gum.
