The art of smelling nice

A woman can only have one of two smells: none, or good. There is no other acceptable thing, we shall not have anything else, and resent the fact that women do not seem to give this matter the seriousness it deserves.

While we appreciate the fact that a woman can have absolutely no scent ( she neither smells good, nor bad, she just doesnt have an effect on your olfactory senses), we would prefer you in fact did smell nice. Smell-less is okay, but nice is better.

See, it adds to your allure, your attraction, your sensuality. It enhances your sexuality, appealing to more than just my sense of sight and touch. When I try to recreate the time I spent with you, and I am remembering how cute you looked, how dainty your fingers were, how nice you smelt… there, I hit a block, a dead end, the journey of you is rudely interrupted. It is like a broken tape, a scratched disk that skips. It is not right.

But like all things classy, you need to know what works for you and what doesn’t; the kind of scent, the proper amounts for when and what.

You don’t want your scent to announce your arrival, or to linger for weeks after you entered a room, plastered on the seats and anything you came into contact with like a cling-on film. No, that is tasteless, and we hate that. We would rather avoid you, because most of the time, the scent that can do that kind of damage is cheap, and offensive to us.

There is an art in this, but you need to have some level of style and class to even attempt maturing it. The first step is knowing the different types of scents. Learn the difference between perfume, deodorant, antiperspirant, body sprays/mists and so on. Each has its purpose, and some can be used at the same time. Then learn the difference in CONCETRATIONS, usually labeled ‘eau de …..’. Some can be used interchangeably, some cannot.

Next, know what works for what occasion, and time of day, weather, and occasion. Dinner party scents are not appropriate for work environment. Also, realise that expensive is not necessarily class, though there is usually a direct relationship.

Strictly avoid cheap things though; they are indeed cheap, smell cheap, and make you come off as cheap. We hate cheap-smelling women. Then finally, the dosage: this is not a competition about who sprays most. Too much is wrong, what we want is something to give us an idea, an inkling; tease our senses, leave us wondering what heavenly scent that was. We don’t want to be able to taste your scent in the air, and have it assault us like tear gas.
To top it up, learn how to APPLY.

This helps control how much you wear, distribute it properly, and to last longer.
Oh, I almost forgot this: HYGIENE. Scents cannot and should not replace cleanliness (read bathing). You don’t want to mix scents with poor hygiene.

The result is the worst turn-off, a long lasting horrible memory of a nasty-smelling woman. Surely, you do not want me to remember you as the worst smelling woman that I have ever encountered.
