Certain people with specific scents.
This is kinda weird but am I the only one to notice this? It seems like some people have specific natural scents. I've only noticed it in my girlfriend and my cousin. As long as I could remember, my cousin has had a specific scent that I can recognize. I can pick up a bracelet, and by the smell of it, I can tell it's his. (This actually happened) Regardless of soap, cologne, laundry soap. I've asked him about it. He said that only one other person had noticed it. The same thing with my girlfriend. Regardless of her body wash or axe spray that she loves, she ALWAYS has a specific distinctive scent that I notice. Especially when I let her wear a jacket or she comes to my house. I can tell she was wearing the jacket, and Ii could tell she was sitting on my bed. These are the only people I've noticed it in as well as myself. I could dip my hands in alcohol and scrub them. Let them dry off and they will have a specific scent. Luckily my hands, my cousin, and gf's scents are really good. Can someone explain this? Has this ever happened to anyone else? It's really weird

Its been explained what it is already by someone else. I am not able to pick up peoples scents but My husband and his daughter can.
At some point, you will also come across people who you dont like their natural scent, an important thing to listen to when picking a mate.
Apparently I passed the sniff test when I was dating my 2nd husband cus his daughter came up to me and sniffed around my head and told her dad I smell okay. I have the same pheromones as they did. If I hadn't she might have tried to convince dad that I wasn't a good choice. LOL

The scent that your are getting from these two people most likely is the scent of their pheromones. This is the scent that attracts us physically to another person. It is the more base or animalistic way of attraction between humans. We are after all when reduced to our basic self, animals just that we are human animals at the top of the food chain.
Just like other animals in the world are sense of smell is something we trust more than our other senses. We all have unique body odors, within those odors are the pheromones that physically attract one another and how we build friendships and loving relationships.
I'm not saying that you are in love with your cousin or if you're a girl, since you have not said if you are a boy or a girl, that you are in love with your girlfriend and this is a lesbian tendency coming out. It is not, it is just that you and these two people are people who you are attracted to in more than just an intellectual way and can have a deeper friendship with.

It's true that people have a particular scent, and maybe you are particularly sensitive to scent.
There was actually an interesting study done years ago, where women rated the attractiveness of male body odor. Without knowing whose was whose, women found the odor of men more closely related to them unappealing, and men who were unrelated to them more appealing to them.
Humans beings as we know them never used scent as a primary sense, but way, way back in our development as a species it would have been a much more important one than it is now. Many other mammals use scent as their primary way to distinguish members of their own group., so the roots are definitely in us, even though it's not powerful anymore.
Just a quick note on Pheromones:
The idea of human pheromone is still highly controversial and in question among scientists. Given the current knowledge base, it's far, far more accurate to refer to human body odor, NOT human pheromones. No human pheromones have been discovered, or proven to exist. There is not anything near to compelling evidence that human beings respond to pheromones signals, and strong evidence that human beings respond to scent just using their normal olfactory system.
Which is to say, no one has proven that human beings respond to pheromones in any way. Any one who tries to sell you something based on 'human pheromones' is a snake oil salesman - a con artist.
