I’ve been musing a touch today (thank you quiet working day) and thinking how my attraction works, what it’s based in and how it deepens. I’ve realised that I’m very tuned into a persons scent, definitely a partners and that gets deeper for me over time. Not that I go around sniffing people (not without consent anyway) but I definitely notice.
So dear fabbers, how important is scent to you in terms of attraction? |

It's not, until it is.
I can be attracted to somebody greatly without even a (conscious) hint of their scent. But then when I do get a whiff (lovely word) it can up things to a whole over level. Does that make scent important to my attraction, not at all, but it adds a new layer to enhance it.
Obviously if somebody does not smell great (unhygienic) then that does definitely detract from the attraction.
Funnily though it is one of the reasons I rarely give out what scents I use on myself. I try to keep them as unique to me as possible. So that if they do get a hint of that scent it reminds them of me.
I'm hungry and my brain is not focused on what I'm saying so the above mess is what I came up with. |

I've not really thought about it before but now I realise I get overwhelmed nasally (sensory thing)
I hardly ever wear perfume. So I'll smell of Dove most of the time.
On other people I enjoy B's beard balm  and subtle scents.

It's important. For me it's an indication of their personality and their general ablutionary outlook in regards to grooming. I love cologne...but I'm put off by women who douse themselves with too much scent, thus rendering themselves nauseatingly unapproachable and unattractive.
Less is more. I want to savour their subtle scent twinned with their natural pheromones, which makes for an attractive woman. |

I like the smell of a good aftershave. But I find the smell of toil on a man a whole new level. You know that clean sweaty smell ? I wonder if somewhere in my cave person brain it's a hunter gatherer attraction on a primeval level ? |

Very important. I have a freakishly strong sense of smell, although it often takes people by surprise that I have zero scent of my own. Truth be told, most people reek like shit. The most beautiful scent is that of a virgin maiden, but it's so fleeting. I tried many ways of preserving that scent until I ended up on the wrong side of this one girl's dad and all hell broke loose. C'est la vie. |

I don't think Baldini would approve. |

"Oh I love the men's aftershave!!!
I smell certain ones walking about and I instantly think of certain guys.
What do you wear OP?
I’ve been wearing Hugo Boss ‘The Scent’ recently "
Ah, luckily I don't associate this with anyone. Yet

I don't know, and I can't smell it on you. You smell like someone's dad?  |

I've a bit of a dislike of overpowering scents on both men and women. The heavy handed approach when applying a scent can really put me off.
Regarding attraction to a scent then for me the more subtle the better. On an intimate level with someone the natural scent of skin very much arouses me, I guess all the senses are heightened at that stage. |
