What scent do you love on the opposite sex?
Or for some of you, the same sex?

I'm a BIG fan of Curve for men and Ralph Lauren's Romance for men. Smelly good guys are one of my 'things'. :evilgrin: What about you?

2. Soap.
And maybe just a _touch_ of "Cool Water." Anything more is chemical warfare.

4. Funny, that... every time I try to sniff a chick, she slaps me...
Maybe that's why I'm gay. :crazy:

5. Mine!
:evilgrin:

Actually, I'm not a big cologne person (maybe because my ex overdid it), but a little is ok. I don't have a preference really. On women, same thing. If it's there at all, something light and subtle. I tend to go for one spray of something kind of flowery myself, usually Crabtree & Evelyn's Rosewater spray.

11. I have plenty of ideas on luring him, but thus far...
they've only remained in my mind. He's part of my 6'5" Club.*

* The 6'5" Club is a select group of DU men I have had crushes on. Not all crush victims have been 6'5" (a couple are of average height) and I'm not a hightist at all, but the strange fact remains that for some inexplicable reason I have had secret crushes (or not so secret or just something else all together) on 4 different men on DU, all of which are 6'5. Funky, huh?"

28. Same here. Especially if it's "briney" or "Zest-y."
Smells like the ocean are the best for that, I think. Actually, I like those on me, too.

22. That scent only your subconscious mind can smell.
The scent of attraction that inexplicably draws you to that person.

36. yes, but not flop sweat, LOL. woodsmoke, cigarette smoke, fireworks......

anyway, you shouldn't smell much until you get close. that's the point.
