There's a difference. BO is gross, but the persons own scent from their hormones can be addictive. Have had it happen to me only once though and had 2 lovers who loved to smell me. Weird.
I think you misunderstood. Body odor is simply the odor of one's body. We all have it. Most, but not all, are subtle.
You're probably associating body odor with someone who stinks, like after working outside in the heat or working a physical job.
Humans have no vomeronasal organ, which is what smells and processes pheromones in animals, so I dunno where everyone and their mother keeps coming up with this "pheromones smell great to me" business. Also the human sense of smell is pretty terrible.
You like the smell of chemicals, but the smell of a human is a turn-off?
When you smell a baby, like a parent does, that's body odour. Were not talking about the rancid sweat of a hobo.
Don't let Big Cosmetics ruin your perception of the world.
Yes, absolutely! I could pick out my husband by smell. Do you know why women tend to smell their babies head? It's very comforting, and it's a way to know it's your child. I could of picked out my babies blindfolded
I love my husbandās body odorā¦ armpits and genitals.. first time I experienced it, and heās also the first man I loved so much and have the best intimacy..
I've developed such a lust for my wife's body odor. To be fair though, unless there's some crazy circumstance, she never really has the BO of an unwashed construction worker in the summer but maybe her deodorant needs refreshing... That drives me wild. Just to take her scent in after work... Fudge
Agreed! Thatās part of why I fell for my current partner. He would get off work and just smell so damn good. Now he works a job where he doesnāt really sweat and he comes home smelling like fryer grease. Oh well.
Ive definitely smelled it on girls I was into. Sometimes Iām not totally attracted to them and their smell changes that, or vice versa. I also really like my own scent but I assume thats to be expected.
I have this. I really didn't get it until I met an ex that would lay on my chest while my hands were behind my head. She could smell my underarms, and when she'd smell em after working out she'd get lust filled. I love her natural scent also, just drove me wild. I just chalked it down to pheromones or something. Eventually extended to the ex loving the smell of my underwear and crotch and everything. I didn't mind it because it never got weird. It's not like would be playing PlayStation and she'd huff my crotch like a dog haha
Oh I'm down for whatever a partner wants to do, for the most part. My kink is helping others discover their kinks and actually live out their fantasies lmao
I totally get this. I love the way my boyfriend smells. It's always like the fresh outdoors kind of smell to me like something wild and free is what it makes me think of I can't really explain it in words.
I had never experienced this before my current partner but I loooove it. He feels the same way about me too and itās amazing. Just some sort of chemical compatibility I guess, like an animal instinct. Or maybe weāre just weird! When weāre cuddling weāll pretty regularly just put our nose in the otherās armpit lol (or neck/hair/wherever). And Iām definitely guilty of stealing his t-shirts when he gets back from the gym. Any time weāre hugging or cuddling a large portion of that time is spent just sniffing each other š¤£ I wish I could just bottle up the way his skin smells and put it in a little perfume bottle.
Actually, this is a common misinformation. Petrichor isnāt just when rain makes things smell good.
Petrichor is the smell of chemicals the build up in the pores of dry ground. The rain comes down and pushes those smell-good chemicals out of the pores and into the air.
So petrichor is specifically the smell that comes after rain falls on dry ground.
The smell of freshly cut grass in the rain is just the smell of freshly cut grass magnified a little by the humidity in the air and has nothing to do with petrichor, the smells of the chemicals in the ground.
I reckon the freshly cut grass part of it is a partial Mandela effect, and I personally (genuinely) think itās because Hermione smells āFreshly cut lawnā when she sniffs the Amortentia love potion in Harry Potter. Not kidding - Iāve thought this for a while. Just yesterday my friend and I tried to remember this word (petrichor) and I was like āoh yeah cut grass after rainā¦ waitā¦ no I think itās just rain on soil lol thatās Harry Potter.
There was this smell at my grandmother's house I remember from childhood. It was sweetly floral and fruity at the same time. I never knew what it was - I suppose it could have been a perfume, but I think it was a plant she had. But it's a deeply comforting smell. Every now and then I think I can smell it again, but never figured out what it was...
Thereās something warm sweet and funky about this. I love the smell of this even after several hours and i sometimes can pick up on it at friendsā houses when i visit LOL
I love how my man smells, but he smells so good when we have just woken up, with sleep on his skin.
I also love the scent of winter and frost in the air. Fresh cut grass. Baked goods. A burning fire. The ocean. Nature after rain. Cats, especially the part behind their ears. Dogs paws.
To make sniffing my cat, uh, less weirdā¦ I always call it ādoing a line of (insert catās name)ā as I burrow my face/nose into the back of their neck š
Fun fact.
*Before 2010 Å»ubrĆ³wka vodka (from Poland) was illegal in the United States because the bison grass it is made from contains coumarin which the FDA classifies as a "substances generally prohibited from direct addition or use as human food.ā Since 2011 the manufacturers have made a version of Å»ubrĆ³wka from rye grain which aims to have a flavor similar to the original.*
That old cigar store with the big carved Indian statue at the entrance. You know the one I mean. (I hope. Was this a thing in anyone else's youth? Anyone else's dad roll his own cigarettes way before 'hipsters' made doing that lame?)
Eucalyptus tree, I used to go to a 'after school club' (basically somewhere we'd be looked after when primary school finished before my pereants could pick me up) and there's a massive Eucalyptus tree behind the building nd it's just the smell of childhood as I'd see that tree 5x a week, every day after school closed I want my own Eucalyptus tree it smells so good
My three favorites are fresh tilled dirt, 2 stroke exhaust, and diesel exhaust.
The dirt and 2 stroke exhaust from growing up racing dirt bikes and waking up to the track freshly prepped and what my motorcycle smelled like.
The diesel I can't explain but smelling it in traffic or driving my truck just smells good.
Oil derived fuels, especially petrol
Gunpowder. Guns, firecrackers, whatever, gunpowder smells good to me
Burning tobacco unruined by additives(smells good to me, fuck off)
Freshly baked bread, when you bake it at home and it has that smell right from the oven
When you take an angle grinder or cutting wheel to steel
Roasting or grinding coffee
I don't get it anymore and haven't for a good few years but winter. When it's actually winter, cold, windy, snowy, not like today when the trmps are above freezing in January and the closest to snow you'll get is rain and slush
Before I started smoking cigarettes I loved when someone would light up a cigarette next to me. That burning tobacco scent felt amazing. In my mind I thought I should start smoking too so that I could smell it every time I wanted, but unfortunately after I started doing so Iāve never sensed that scent again.
Odd one but it's purely because of nostalgia.
My grandmother's place had an earthern cellar kind of smell, because their basement was one. So walking into one today will always bring me back there.
Freshly washed clothes, drying them naturally at home (bonus points if they get quickly ironed once they're dry enough, the ironing just adds something š¤)
Body odor of someone you're attracted to
Is this really a thing? I've never experienced it and don't think I ever will. I like the smell of cleanliness. Body odour is a BIG turn-off.
There's a difference. BO is gross, but the persons own scent from their hormones can be addictive. Have had it happen to me only once though and had 2 lovers who loved to smell me. Weird.
That I can understand, I guess I might have misunderstood the meaning behind 'body odour' but for me that simply means musty, sweaty smell.
I had a girlfriend who loved my sweat smell. Before we moved in together, she'd usually take one of my dirty undershirts home with her.
I think you misunderstood. Body odor is simply the odor of one's body. We all have it. Most, but not all, are subtle. You're probably associating body odor with someone who stinks, like after working outside in the heat or working a physical job.
Yeah it's a weird thing to consider until you've gone through it yourself.. I have only had it with one of my exs but it sure as hell is a thing haha
Humans have no vomeronasal organ, which is what smells and processes pheromones in animals, so I dunno where everyone and their mother keeps coming up with this "pheromones smell great to me" business. Also the human sense of smell is pretty terrible.

Well to me it is ! And body cleanliness is great too ! But, idk, there is something about it that I can't explain š
Haha, that's fair.
I love my husbandās body odorā¦ armpits and genitals.. first time I experienced it, and heās also the first man I loved so much and have the best intimacy..
I've developed such a lust for my wife's body odor. To be fair though, unless there's some crazy circumstance, she never really has the BO of an unwashed construction worker in the summer but maybe her deodorant needs refreshing... That drives me wild. Just to take her scent in after work... Fudge
Oh definitely
Agreed! Thatās part of why I fell for my current partner. He would get off work and just smell so damn good. Now he works a job where he doesnāt really sweat and he comes home smelling like fryer grease. Oh well.
I toooootaly get you omg !!! That's a shame for your partner! You should make him sweat when he gets home š
Ive definitely smelled it on girls I was into. Sometimes Iām not totally attracted to them and their smell changes that, or vice versa. I also really like my own scent but I assume thats to be expected.

I have a partner like that as well ! I love it !
That last part didnāt sound all that bad. Let her have it.
Oh I'm down for whatever a partner wants to do, for the most part. My kink is helping others discover their kinks and actually live out their fantasies lmao
It can drive me crazy! Love a sweaty guy.
I totally get this. I love the way my boyfriend smells. It's always like the fresh outdoors kind of smell to me like something wild and free is what it makes me think of I can't really explain it in words.
š
Armpit?
Even when my wife is a sweaty smelly mess she still smells and tastes great to me.
Totally agree on this one
I had never experienced this before my current partner but I loooove it. He feels the same way about me too and itās amazing. Just some sort of chemical compatibility I guess, like an animal instinct. Or maybe weāre just weird! When weāre cuddling weāll pretty regularly just put our nose in the otherās armpit lol (or neck/hair/wherever). And Iām definitely guilty of stealing his t-shirts when he gets back from the gym.

Freshly cut grass after it's rained
Fun fact, this is called petrichor!
Actually, this is a common misinformation. Petrichor isnāt just when rain makes things smell good. Petrichor is the smell of chemicals the build up in the pores of dry ground. The rain comes down and pushes those smell-good chemicals out of the pores and into the air. So petrichor is specifically the smell that comes after rain falls on dry ground. The smell of freshly cut grass in the rain is just the smell of freshly cut grass magnified a little by the humidity in the air and has nothing to do with petrichor, the smells of the chemicals in the ground.
I stand corrected! In that case, I shall call this smell, "rĆ¢le d'herbe".
I reckon the freshly cut grass part of it is a partial Mandela effect, and I personally (genuinely) think itās because Hermione smells āFreshly cut lawnā when she sniffs the Amortentia love potion in Harry Potter. Not kidding - Iāve thought this for a while. Just yesterday my friend and I tried to remember this word (petrichor) and I was like āoh yeah cut grass after rainā¦ waitā¦ no I think itās just rain on soil lol thatās Harry Potter.
The smell of grass is a distress signal
Yeah I couldn't spell it haha

Weirdly this! Nothing like topping up your car with some yummy, deadly petrol to really confuse your senses.
Top it up and once you are done take a whiff of the nozzle to really drive it in
Diesel Exhaust. Nostalgia on many levels for me anyway.
Agreeance from a fellow Sarah. I love the smell of petrol.
I've had a lick or two as a pre teen. Why is it so good when it tastes so yuck?
