There are a lot of things that go into a person't scent. One of the things is the way your bodily chemicals react to things you add to your skin like lotion or perfume or deoderant, the soap you bathe with etc. So when you are smelling him, you are not really just smelling "him". If your boyfriend only bathed with water for a week and never wore deoderant and only washed his hair with water and maybe, maybe used some non scented soap (which still has a mild scent due to herbs), only washed his clothes with water, he would not smell like what he smells like now. What he smells like is a combo of what he uses, his soap, his deoderant, his laundry detergent, the lotion he uses on his skin, his shampoo, his conditioner, all of this put together added with the chemicals in his body and how they react to the external chemicals is what makes "his scent" ok So with that said... it is said..that you cannot smell your own scent because you are so accustomed to smelling it... But if you want to smell something...then I suggest that you start picking and choosing what cleaners you want to smell like...I'll give you a perfect example. I HATE the deoderant I am using right now because it smells like something that an old friend of mine used to wear and we are NOT friends anymore, but I am not going to waste a $5 container of deoderant, so I will have to continue to feel as if I smell like her until it finishes. But NEXT TIME Trust me I will NOT be buying this. Now for my guy it smells good...but for me I HATE it. Now he is smelling something a little different than what I am smelling. He is smelling my human scent mixed with the other stuff, I can't smell my human scent. So what you do is you pick out what deoderant you want to use and shampoo and body lotion and perfume (if any) and if you use this stuff all the time, all the time, that will become the "scent" that people are used to smelling you as. Get me? So If you always use baby oil, they you are always going to smell like a freshly cleaned baby. And when people walk down the baby lotion aisle, they are going to think of you. If you always use herbal essences, when people smell kiwi strawberry, they are going to think of you. I had a friend that I could smell her scent in the shirt she gave me and I never washed it cause I missed her and that was the only way to remember her...but it was a mix of her detergent, her shampoo, her body smell haha what ever that consists of (and I'm sure it's a lot of chemical stuf), and her deoderant and all kinds of stuff wrapped up into one sweater :P. Here this too! Eat healthy stuff. Fruit, Veggies, honestly, the vagina is the vagina, it smells like vagina just like under arms smell like under arms... if your boyfriends under arms dont smell it's cause he is wearing deoderant or the deoderant residue is still on him after his shower cause men's arms are usually a lot stronger than womans cause they release different chemicals(I think) that's my experience. Anyway, if you have ever smelled a penis, it smells like penis haha and the only way it will not smell like penis is if they just used soap or something. Look, you got hair and you got pee and you got sweat...so what do you do? Bathe more times a day, rinse that baby off and dry it a few more times a day...but don't get caught up in that BS the vagina is supposed to smell like a fleshy human vagina just like the rest of your body, it's not supposed to smell like fresh summer daisies with a splash of vanilla hahaha My guy's penis smells like penis and his but smells like butt and haha sorry to be so blunt, but if you smell your butt and smell his butt it smells the same cause butt smells like butt and underarm smells like underarm. So you know keep your vaginal hair on the shorter side, keep your under arms shaved, use an exfoliant underneath your arms, floss this helps the breath to be even fresher, use a shampoo that works with your hair, make sure you like how your hair smells when you are done, I find that I don't like the smell of a lot of conditioners so find one that you like, use scented soap, body spray is great, figure out what you want to smell like, flowers? sweet nuts? herbs? fruit? get soaps and lotions and oils with this kind of stuff in them, if you have bigger boobs, make sure you put a little powder or deoderant or something sweet under there cause they can get sweaty, wash in between your toes, exfoliate exfoliate exfoliate...get rid of that old skin. So first learn to love your HUMAN smell and then do the ad ons that I told you about, and then see how that goes :) Ok sorry it was so long but hey :) [ asknava's advice column | Ask asknava A Question ]
