I LOVE the smell of creamed honey. I usually keep a jar handy just to scrape the top and smell it. Not a big fan of eating it though. But LOVE the smell.

I like it in moderation. I'm more of a sensory seeker, I always smell everything.

if they made perfume that smells like permanent markers I'd bathe in it :P

I currently use Ralph Lauren's Notorious, but only in small amounts- usually a bit on the wrists and I wave them in front of my nose frequently to have a little sniff.

also, I love the smell of certain shampoos and conditioners. I smell my own hair a lot actually, it's a bit creepy I guess, but meh.

there's a man's perfume that I love- it smells like a mojito, but now I forgot the name of it.

I cannot abide any artificial scent, be it perfume, air freshener, whatever. I gives me an instant headache.

I hate it when people wear too much perfume, or start spraying scented products around me.

Natural fragrances don't bother me. I may like or dislike them, but they don't make me ill.

I can tell whether a fragrance is natural or artificial with one sniff.

My reaction to fragrance is so severe that it is diagnosed as an allergy. The smell is magnified so much in me that I am overpowered by a fragrance that others can't even smell.

But it's not just artificial fragrances... flowers do the same thing to me.

If I were locked in an enclosed space with someone wearing fragrance I would die from not being able to breathe.

Is there anyone who craves smells? My son smells everything and most of his memories are tied to scents. He feels comforted when I wear perfume (which is one of the big reasons why I wear it) and if I change scents, I bring him with me because I make sure its something he likes. He will determine if he likes/doesn't like something based on scent alone.


My sense of smell is my biggest sensory issue, but also it's my favorite sense. It all depends on what I'm smelling. If I like it, I can't get enough of the smell, but if I hate it I'll literally gag. I wear perfume sometimes, always the same kind, and I use air fresheners, but there again it's only a select few. My son is the same way, He's always sniffing everything.

Recently, I've tried the Aveeno relaxing bodywash with lavender, and I could get lost in the scent forever. It smells so good.

Same here. In fact, I explain this to NTs by calling it an "allergy". They can understand that and are more likely to not spray things around me.

I do not like artificial scents except sweet smelling ones like vanilla or something. I do not like any of the scented stuff that is marketed for males.

Kind of enjoying the scent of Old Spice bodywash at the moment though ^-^

I can't stand strong perfumes and soaps. Even the relatively mild ones my NT sister wears irritate my throat. I may have an allergy to some types, as well.
I also HATE scented garbage bags.
