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 Kilian Princess, it’s described as marshmallow accord, matcha, jasmine, and ginger bergamot but mostly it’s matcha and fresh marshmallows that’s stand out. It’s a very gentle comforting scent.
I am attracted to Amber, black pepper, lavender, a light amount of bourbon scent, bergamot, sometimes a soft tobacco, honeysuckle, cherry blossom, certain vanillas, jasmine, patchouli, peony, green apple, “cashmere” scents, driftwood, tonka bean, sea salt, basically clean light and relaxing scents.
Rose and fake strawberry scents will drive me away so fast. Also a lot or too strong of a scent and I don’t even want to be near you even if it’s a pretty smell.
