I’m talking hair products, body washes, deodorant, body sprays, laundry detergent, candles, literally ANYTHING that can smell nice I want to know to about it

    I swear I’m not making this up like a month ago my physical therapist asked me about the new cologne I’m wearing. I told him I didn’t use any and he kind of persisted he was like no, it smells really good and I’m like I dunno dude. “Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m sure I’m not wearing cologne.” I don’t have a sense of smell since catching covid in 2020 so I had no clue. Then he was like “oh, I forgot I put a scented candle down over here, I didn’t think it would be so strong when it’s not lit”. He clearly felt really awkward and I didn’t want to laugh too much to make him feel worse but what the hell dude.

      Estrogen’s effects on my body odor were noticable in the first week. I didn’t have a bad natural scent before, but it’s amazing now.

      I use unscented deoderant and a sandalwood/vanilla body lotion, and sometimes a hint of a musky perfume.

    Sawdust, machine oil, and metal filings. Shit you not.

    I use dove sensitive skin soap and herbal essences rose shampoo and conditioner. I use regular men’s speed stick for deoderant. Basic unscented lubriderm moisturizer. Basic crest shampoo. Tide clothing detergent as i imagine that infleucnes how

    I think there’s a big element where some people find each other’s smell attractive, and that can differ a good bit from person to person. I mostly don’t use any strong smells.
