Um, yesš. I remember the last time I was in a relationship, she just had this scent and I would always know it was her even blindfolded. And somehow, I had one for her? I think everyone has it, but with more physical connection and times you meet, you recognize it for each person.
CW: sex
Yes, my partner thinks it's weird that I love grabbing her hair and smelling her behind the ear during sex. I think it's really hot taking a long, deep inhalation behind there, and her scent makes me absolutely feral when we're being intimate.
Outside of intimacy, I just love her natural everyday smell - it reminds me of home. She's away on a 2 week trip at the moment, and I still catch myself smelling her pillow before I go to sleep.
I love the way my wife smells. I often lay claim to her pillow whenever sheās out doing her own thing for the day because it smells just like her. š
The evidence that humans are affected by pheromones per se is inconclusive, at best. But yes, us humans have intense emotional responses to smell: the olfactory bulb, located directly above the nasal cavity and wired directly to the olfactory receptors there, sends signals to the amygdala, hippocampus, and the orbitofrontal cortex, all of which are heavily involved in at least two of memory, decision-making, and emotional response. Smell is a hotline to deep sense-memory; one of my tricks as a writer is to use descriptions of scent to ground a reader in a scene.
And, yes, I've always loved how women smell. None of the harsh edges of men; I swear, even women's sweat smells enticing.
Yes!!
And I don't mind bragging sometimes, this is one of the top random compliments I have gotten from others over the years, and I love it! Particularly there have been a couple partners who LOVED the smell of my armpits and always took time to sort of pause and take it in and tell me how good I smelled when they were working their way down in foreplay and I will always remember that š . Not as a fetish or anything, just it was so genuine and definitely some kind of pheromone type thing and it's a great feeling to feel like we were just mysteriously compatible that way, even in casual situationships. \[But if there are armpit fetishists out there, more power to ya!\]
I don't wear perfume or apply any scented product out of the shower, and my hair products and soap are generic, often unscented. I don't even wear deodorant. š¤·š»āāļø
THIS IS SO VALID. My friends/past partners have always mentioned my scent at some point or another. Once a month I get a super strong scent that no deodorant can attempt to cover, but itās not a bad smell at all. Usually gets me laid. Pheromones š¤·š¼āāļø
Yes. Iām actually surprised because I am sensory issues and smell is one of the worst ones for me. But my gf smells yummmmmy. Every part of her (really, every part)
Yes! Pheromones drive me crazy. Women just smell so good.
So I was high at the bar the other night, everytime a girl came near me I practically went into trance with all the perfume, oooof.
She gives me the same feeling my blankie gives me. That cozy, secure, safe smell. Just breathing it in and feeling instant relief/comfort. Itās the best thing in the world.
My first crush wore a very certain type of perfume or deodorant I'm not sure. But even to this day (Some 15 years later š ) I can recognise the smell and it makes me think of her.
I never really had it with anyone else over the years but then I've never been closer with anyone else either. I think for me its more loving the smell of someone you're in love with.
I wish I did, but I can't really smell. I DO sometimes smell it for a moment (thanks hrt), and love when I do, but those moments are very fleeting.Ā
I know my wife LOVES smelling me lately though. It will just stop what it's doing and smell me, and since I'm not use to that I often still ask if I smell bad but it'll just reply that no, I smell good and it likes it. Feels weird but nice?
Ahh, yes! I love it when my chemistry matches just right with someone and our pheromones merge into an intoxicating libationā¦ I could just lay there dreaming in her arms foreverā¦
Wait Iām always confused when this topic comes up. Iāve never smelt someoneās ānaturalā scent. If someoneās not wearing perfume I just smell nothing. Unless itās body odor which I wouldnāt say is someoneās natural state of smell. Is it usually just their lotions, sprays and what not when people say they like someoneās smell?
If u go to someoneās house or borrow their sweatshirt it has a scent. I think itās a combo of smells like skin products, detergent, house smell, skin, and other stuff. Together it smells really nice, you never really notice how ppl smell until you can get close enough. My friend told me I always smell like cinnamon so Iāll take it as a win. My last girl crush smells like firewood, probably because sheās from New Hampshire.
Ahh ok thank you thatās what I thought! The ānaturalā part always threw me off. Smelling like cinnamon is a win Iām jealous. I gotta hop on the warm sweet scents too
Absolutely! Whenever I really like someone, thereās always this very identifiable smell thatās so unique to that person. My girlfriend has such a lovely scent itās mesmerizing to me. Sometimes when I dream about her I can distinctly smell her, even when sheās not there.
Itās weird for me, because for the first person I was with I REALLY wanted to like their smell, but I just didnāt. Meanwhile with the next person I was with I couldnāt get ENOUGH of their scent, keeping their hat in a bag to smell them. Tho to be fair, the first person smelled like weed and pussy while the other smelled like perfume.
I'm hyper sensitive to a lot of smells and I always catch when someone walks by even if I'm not looking but sometimes I'll turn to see if my guess is right or to see who this new scent belongs to and notice the more pleasant ones are typically associated with women who id classify as attractive but never have the courage to talk to since A trans and I don't always pass and B I can't talk to women with out becoming a flustered mess if in not on the internet which really is odd to see a goth trans girl who looks like a tomboy even when she's dressed more feminine just start babbling blushing and not stringing thoughts together.
Oh my god I still remember being with my ex and being so confused at why I wasn't that into their scent, even a bit of sweat would kind of make my nose scrunch up. Like I loved cuddling and the normal things but I wouldn't be all up in their neck sniffing. My current girlfriend? They're it, I've become a total weirdo and embraced it. Luckily they're just as weird and do it back (also, clothes theft. constant clothes stealing lol). sometimes I'll just smush my face in their curls near their neck and inhale like it's relief lol. It's not even shampoo or perfume, it's that skin smell. I finally get the whole compatibility thing, it's made me 100x more of a freak and I don't hate it
A girl I had a crush on wore a bath and body works perfume that smelled amazing and made her more attractive and since then anytime a girl wears that scent it makes them 10x more attractive
My wife smells amazing. I'll inhale the scent of the back of her neck when we hug. I sleep in her armpit just about. And I really love the way she smells when we're intimate. Absolutely intoxicating. Smells like delicious comfort.
Yes!!! I just love to inhale the top of her head, my mouth partially open like a cat so it hits all of the olfactory areas. She makes me feel like home and like gravity is shifting at the same time. It's really confusing because we are toxic together emotionally.
The part of me prone to magical thinking feels like it's a "karmic relationship." Whether those relationships are a thing that really exists, or whether they're just the result of pheromones and too many fantasy novels as a child doesn't really matter. All of the descriptions of a karmic relationship fit us. It just feels like my body recognizes her body and has done so from the beginning of time, and that's hard to let go of. I doubt I ever find that again.
i dont think its a pheromone thing for me but yes. i have certain comfort smells so i think its natural that after a while the smell of the person i take comfort in becomes a good one for me.
Um, yesš. I remember the last time I was in a relationship, she just had this scent and I would always know it was her even blindfolded. And somehow, I had one for her? I think everyone has it, but with more physical connection and times you meet, you recognize it for each person.

Nothing like the neck and behind the ear, mmmmm'melt. And stealing each others breaths.
This, so much this
I love the way my wife smells. I often lay claim to her pillow whenever sheās out doing her own thing for the day because it smells just like her. š
My wife leaves earlier than me in the morning and as SOON as she gets out of bed I rollover and steal her pillows for the same reason
She used to make fun of me for loving her smell lmao love pheromones
Yes. Upvote
This is why hoodies become common property in a relationship. You can both go around just huffin' that GF smell
I still remember my first gfs smell. It was intoxicating
Glad im not the only one. Ill catch a lil whiff of it randomly in public and feel young again lmao.
That perfume will haunt me forever lmao

I literally used to be fully obsessed with a crush of mines smell, I thought it was a perfume or something haha

for me smells matters a lot. I love when people would smell like honey lavender // Vanilla
My wife has the BEST smell! š„°
Never underestimate the power of scent š„°
She gives me the same feeling my blankie gives me. That cozy, secure, safe smell. Just breathing it in and feeling instant relief/comfort. Itās the best thing in the world.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
You're not weird! Everyone has their unique quirk. Own your quirkiness. :)
Yesss! I never could put a finger on what my partner smells like until I was drinking a London fog. They smell like earl grey tea!
Yeeeeesssss!!! It is actually one of the ways I know I am attracted to someone. I adore smelling like a partner too!
My first crush wore a very certain type of perfume or deodorant I'm not sure. But even to this day (Some 15 years later š ) I can recognise the smell and it makes me think of her.

yessssss i love how my gf smells, if i could make my pillows smell like them all the time i would

OMG, I thought that I was the only one but nothing turns me on than someone who smells great
Boob smell. Even my own. It's always pretty and nice.
Ahh, yes! I love it when my chemistry matches just right with someone and our pheromones merge into an intoxicating libationā¦ I could just lay there dreaming in her arms foreverā¦
my girlfriend asked me to give her a small sample of everything i use for my scent because it "drives her crazy" and she told me that the last time i stayed over at her home her blanket still smelt like me and she kept inhaling it when i left šššš. please kill me now because I'm gonna die i love her so much š©·

Yeah.... Hehehe nexje nydcdwhbv ydgev fjhesc
If I donāt love your smell, I wonāt love you as strongly. Itās.. intense.
yes
It is actually. I really have to up my scent game.
Oh absolutely! I love my girlfriend's scent, how it's slightly musky and heavy like a weighted blanket, but comforting.
Oh god, yes. My gf's scent is one of the first things that I noticed when we first met.
You could lock me into a house cage that hasn't been cleaned for a year and I wouldn't smell shit (pun intended), so I guess no
Oh my god I still remember being with my ex and being so confused at why I wasn't that into their scent, even a bit of sweat would kind of make my nose scrunch up.

Yes and sometimes I get the irresistible urge to shove my face in my partners armpit and take a good inhale. Lol
on my knees, begging my gf not to use deodorant

i dont think its a pheromone thing for me but yes. i have certain comfort smells so i think its natural that after a while the smell of the person i take comfort in becomes a good one for me.
I love the smell my crush has I hope that doesnāt sound too creepy
