How many scents are you wearing?

2 (shampoo, toothpaste)

I am very sensitive to odors, so I can’t be around people wearing perfume or cologne. I use unscented laundry detergent, deodorant, body soap, etc.

I have left restaurants due to perfume smells.

2. My deodorant and my toothpaste.

My shampoo is scent free, as is my hand/body soap. I use scent free detergent, don’t use fabric softener or dryer sheets, as they promote more chemical exposure.

And I don’t use scented toilet tissue. I have no need for it, I don’t accumulate or need to smell used TP.

Good for you, @tom_g & @zenvelo. Live long and prosper!

I remember a time, @zenvelo, when all toilet paper seemed to be weighted down with the same cloying scent. I use unscented paper as much as possible. And I do NOT GET lotion of facial tissues!

Wellllllll… shampoo, conditioner, hand soap, vanilla.

Are you sure that’s it, @Jonesn4burgers?

Face Wash, Body Wash, Shampoo, Conditioner, Cologne, Sunscreen, Moisturizing lotion, Toothpaste, Mouthwash, Fabric Softener (Phew!!! That’s it!)

Kind of scarey, eh, @Smitha. Now think about having to make a list of daily food ingredients!

Quite a few, the most pungent being the sixth scent, I smell dead people.

Toothpaste, shampoo and a daub of freshly brewed Earl Grey tea behind each ear.

I use natural if I can make it very easily essential oils I do sometimes add. Like lavender for wash and worsening to my mouthwash and toothpaste. And for my bath stuff eucalyptus or tea tree oil generally sometimes lavender or rosemary even lemon if I am bored.

I also use rose water in some of the products I make. For my skin.

Then I completely undo all that magic because I love mango lotion, though if I really need the lotion for dry skin I go with d and e ointment and have a favorite scent by JPG.

I am scent-sational to the max based on the number of products that touch my parts in some way. I like to believe that it is counterbalanced by the aromatic cat and dog food, the scent of which wafts from the cans each morning as the pet feeding commences.

3D White Toothpaste
Listerine Zero Mouthwash
Head & Shoulders Shampoo
Dove Cucumber Melon Deodorant
Tresemme Hairspray
Versace Perfume (sample)

My soap, laundry detergent, lotion, and makeup are all unscented. My toilet paper is definitely unscented (talk about a yeast infection waiting to happen).

Right now, natural morning scent. Scent of bathrobe, scent of flannel jammy bottoms, scent of unwashed hair, scent of coffee.
Gimme an hour and then I shall be scented to meet my day, shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, body lotion, toothpaste, face cream, makeup, hand lotion and a final mist of some flavor of body spray. lol

Let me think…

I use Free and Clear detergent. I don’t wear perfume. My shampoo is unscented as far as I can tell – though I haven’t read the label, Toothpaste – Sensodyne mint something or other (probably gone by now, since I’m on my second cup of coffee), soap – handmade goat milk soap scented with rosemary and spearmint – probably also past its half-life, since I showered last night.

So, I probably smell mostly like coffee and sushi rice, since that’s what I’m currently consuming.

And still my house is full of allergic nerds. Where’s my pocket protector?

I’m surprised at how many Jellies are scent conscious. I don’t know anyone in real life that is…that I know of.

Currently, my breath smells like sausage pizza. Intentionally applies scents are deodorant and lavender mint lotion.

I’ve got extremely sensitive skin, so I use unscented everything if I can. If I have to get something scented, I choose a smell closest to what I call “clean”. My toothpaste does smell like mint, though.

B.O.

@ibstubro It is because us jellies are a rare breed…

Shampoo/conditioner are the same very light fragrance; de-tangler is a different light fragrance. Mint toothpaste and mint gum.

I use mostly unscented or fragrance-free deodorant, soaps, lotions, laundry products, etc. as I am often irritated (e.g. they make me sneeze).

soap (“Lust” soap from LUSH)
deodorant

The scent of a woman. lol

As few as possible… generally if there is an unscented version of something I need, that’s the one I get. Especially laundry products!!!>gag< I don’t mind using scented shampoo and conditioner(Suave, usually) since the smell is pretty much gone when my hair is dry.
Have you ever noticed that if you buy trash bags made with recycled plastic, they always smell quite strongly of laundry detergent scent??

I adore my vanilla body spray, seriously addicted. Gotta spray myself, my bed, sheets, car, curtains….mmmmm!

I’m addicted to off-brand linen scent Lysol spray…

I just sniffed Milo. As far as I can tell, he smells of absolutely nothing. However, when he breathes near my nose, I am reminded of the breeze wafting across the pristine fjords of pristine Norway.

Neutrogena soap. It says it’s unscented but whenever I take a shower I always smell it, those liars! But it’s still my favorite soap brand :D

@fightfightfight In their defense, the ingredients may have an odor without them actually adding scent.

I imagine it’s quite a battle to re-formulate some products so that the natural smell of the ingredients aren’t pronounced or unpleasant. After all, they probably started scenting them to make the products smell pleasant, not you so much.

Sweat, grime, dust and soon bourbon. Shortly after that soap & shampoo.

@ARE_you_kidding_me Get a sippy cup for the bourbon and enjoy a hot shower with your cold drink.

What, if I may ask, is it that you do for a living? Generally?

Engineering, It’s not always done behind a comfy office chair and a phone.

^^ Ah, gotcha.

I am really into scented soap and I have a large collection. I’ve forbidden myself to buy any soap for a while until I get my current stash down. I go to hotels for work events and I always will check out their products and take some home (even if it means hitting up the maid’s cart with a tip for the maid, of course). Most decent hotels no longer have generic products, they have name brand stuff (Crabtree & Evelyn at Doubletree, etc.).

In addition to shampoo, conditioner, toothpaste, maybe a little hair spray or gel, deodorant, I also use perfume every day. I have about 8 bottles and two or three are regular favorites. I also like Victoria’s Secret Dream Angels, which is a spray. I like to smell good and I like it when people tell me I smell good.

I am also into smelling other people and I like it when they smell nice. However, I dislike when people put on too much perfume or cologne and you can smell them before you see them.

I hate scented crap, and I detest being forced to smell other people’s “perfume”. I’d rather smell body odor! Women are the worst, and I have been forced to use the men’s rest room before because the ladies room is too stinky to even go in there.

Why are some women especially obsessed with perfumes and aerosols?

@jca If you get too many sample soaps, they’re great in a bathroom basket for guests. I, too, admit to smelling other people.

I have to say, though, you’re a walking aromare to many of your fellow jellys. :-)

Actually, I don’t really like scents.

I naturally smell like mother’s milk.

And don’t see why everyone else shouldn’t as well.

Well, I might also smell like Hint by Nat Sherman.

I heard you can purchase pontiff shaped soap, the kind you tie around the taps, Pope on a rope it’s rather amusingly called.

Pontiffs smell like children and fear.

…& holy underpants.

…Batman!

@ibstubro: The only thing someone that I am with (like a co-worker or a friend) will smell is the perfume, and I don’t put a ton on, so the air around me won’t be scented with it, only people in close range will catch a whiff! The deodorant, shampoo, etc. won’t be detected by anybody else unless they bury their nose in my hair or my armpit.

BTW when I’m with a man, the most sexy thing is how he smells!

One word, @jca Bvlgari

THE sexiest men’s cologne, ever. I have a bottle that I got at a deep, deep discount that I hoard, and use a couple of times a year. lol

@fightfightfight @ibstubro Something can be marked ‘unscented’ and still contain ‘masking fragrance’. I guess ‘unscented’ just means they didn’t intentionally make it smell like fruit, or whatever.

Well, what the heck is “unscented” if not ‘without the absence of added scent’?!? @ccrow

That’s crazy.

@ibstubro This should answer your question, or give you at least give you a place to start. There are a lot of nose anesthetizers in Febreze and other such products (80 in Febreze alone). Some people are quite sensitive to them, but don’t even know because they can’t smell it. Of course the FDA says it’s “healthy”. LOL http://thechemicaledge.com/2012/02/20/the-dangers-of-febreze/

Great answer, @snowberry!

Thanks.

@ibstubro ‘Fragrance-free’ means no added scent. But I’m with you, unscented should mean, well, unscented.

It’s odd that those household “Plug-ins” such as Glade makes does not list the ingredients. But they do list the ingredients on those “deodorizers” that they put in public restrooms. One of the pronounceable ingredients is ACETONE! I avoid nail polish salons and I certainly do not appreciate being forced to breathe that crap in a public restroom. The rest of the ingredients aren’t any healthier for you, and none of them have been tested for safety. (Thanks, FDA)

I have only shower gel and perfume. Well, shampoo also but the smell is not that obvious

Obvious isn’t necessarily the point, @leeibarra. It’s the co-mingling. The overbearing result. :)

Dang. I wanted to re-ask this question.
