What's your favorite scent?

I know that a lot of you know that I am allergic to fragrances, but I do use scented candles and things in my home that are a natural scent. My very very very favorite is apple cinnamon, and running a very close second is vanilla scented candles.

What's your favorite scent?

LOL! No, you don't have to pick just one!

Patchouli - without a doubt. It's practically irresistable on it's own but even more so when mixed with a bit of musk, the smallest amount of attar of roses and a hint of jasmine - that's a winning combination.

Mmmmm! I can't place it, but it sounds good! If you want to send me some, feel free! So long as it's a natural scent, I can handle it!

Fresh Ground Coffee

No necessarily in that order!

I love the smell of fresh ground coffee!!!!!

I have always enjoyed anything with cinnomen

I dunno why but they just smell clean

I use liquid potpori with tea lights

I usually have some going all day

and candles in those scents.

This may sound pretty strange, but my favorite fragrance is Demeter Dirt....it smells just like...well, dirt....it's very subtle and I have gotten quite a few compliment when wearing it...as a matter of fact, a good friend of mine was very sensitive to perfumes, but she was able to wear it as well... Demeter has a whole line of unusual fragrances...I have heard that Dirt & Tomato were the top sellers... Demeter

I'm allergic to scents too, so I don't have anything smelly in my house (except a scent thingy where I keep the garbage . . . anything is better than the smell of garbage :blink: )

I do love the smell of fresh cut grass,

the rain,

the smell of my cockatiels,

the smell of my dogs after they've had a bath,

fresh coffee (even though I don't drink it),

fresh chocolate, and

a perfume I discovered while on our cruise last year . . . I would go into the shop and spray it on and walk around the ship to make sure I wasn't allergic to it. I did that for three days! It's called 'Beyond Paradise' from Estee Lauder . . . I love it!! I only wear it on special occasions though.

The smell of chocolate chip cookies baking. yum! When I want to freshen the smell in my house I simmer cinnamon sticks and whole cloves on the stoves. Scented air fresheners and Frabreeze make me sneeze until they disapate. I use Odor Away it takes the odor out of fabrics and doesn't have a smell that I can smell.

I am not a huge fan of perfume. My sister in law has calmed down on her perfume wearing. I think she used to bathe in it!! One hug and you would reak of her perfume for HOURS. Ironinc that my brother got a MIS job at a perfume company (that was recently bought by Coty). LOL

I don't wear perfume very often becasue *I* want to be the one who smells it. Usually a 1/2 hour after putting it on, my nose is so used to the scent that I don't smell it anymore. I sprayed some perfume on me the other day before work adn at 3 pm when I was in my bosses office with the door closed for a conf call he asked me if I had just put on perfume. He is quite sensitive to most perfumes. I had completely forgotten that I had put it on at 8:45 am that morning, when I usually don't wear any.

I love the smell of fresh flowers and fresh strawberries. Gardinias, Lilacs, and Lillies of the Valley are my favorite flowers. My grandma used to wear a perfume that smelled like Lillies of the Valley so it brings back warm memories. My favorite perfume is Jessica McClintock.

When I was MUCH younger I worked in a video store and this very nice woman and her husband were regular customers. I would know when they were in the store because it was just a very light scent that wafted everywhere. Wish I could find that scent in a candle or warming tart!! Love's Baby Soft makes a Jasmine perfume, but there is so much alcohol in it that doesn't last more than a 1/2 hour.

There is a men's cologne. I think called Cool Waters, that is devine. The guy wearing it could be EWE and I would still follow him around smelling him! LOL My hubby only wears CK1 occasionally. He thinks its the best scent. I'm sick of it, he needs a change. Maybe I'll get him a new cologne for his birthday coming up.

Besides the scents already mentioned, like baking bread or cookies fresh cut grass, and rain, I absolutely love the smell of cumin. Also the smell of coffee brewing when we are camping in the forest.

I don't normally wear any scents because a women at work with is allergic, extremely, to scents. But my all time favorite perfume is Halston, which I wear only on special occasions.

Fresh ground coffee is a favourite scent of mine too. I have a friend who not only grinds her own coffee beans, she roasts them first! The smell and taste of a cup of coffee at her house is honestly to die for.

I also love the smell of lavender and lilacs.
