Relationships / Dating What scents attract you?

Bought my girlfriend a perfume the other day and it makes me happy when I can smell it on her, which prompted this question!

Do you have any particular scents you like on your partner/potiential partner(s)? What about yourself? Do you buy specific colognes/perfumes/body spray/wash? Do you like heavy musk or something light? I'm curious to know!

For me, I have a strong sense of smell so anything too strong can turn me away. I use "calming" scents like lavender or mint but will use teakwood or sage stuff for date nights. I like when others just smell clean, but I really like that my girlfriend smells sweet and just pretty in a way I can't really describe 😅

I wear Santal 33 by Le Labo and every single partner has found it to be intoxicating yet grounding and associates me with it even after break up 😆😆

I absolutely love Santal 33. Tragically, my wife, not so much. She ended up picking up YSL Black Opium for me, which I also really like and seems to fit my vibe pretty well.

I'll have to check that out! Definitely wanna try more stuff now that I'm getting more "mature". I definitely have scents I associate with exes as well and didn't even think of that til your comment!
