Thread Starter 
What particular (as in a certain body part, but excluding any body parts relating to waste excretion) male or female human body odour do you
most like (like say after somene has bathed / washed their hair with any greatly admired, favorite type of soap and / or shampoo you love,
that both have great fragrances) and please say why, for any favorite human body odours mentioned.

If this topic has been discussed before, please give any thread links.

I enjoy smelling the top of my son's head. Really beautiful. (He's only three months old.)

So, then your real question is "What shampoo/soap/bodywash/etc. do you love?" since newly cleaned skin has no smell other than the scent of whatever was used to wash it. And one body part will certainly not smell different than another if the same cleaning product was used on both.

That said, I like the non-smell of "plain" skin that has been washed with unscented soap/shampoo/etc. - and just for good measures, I'll say....the elbow.

favorite non-excretion smell: Clean baby smell -- my dachshund always smells like this. So innocent, so powdery, so pure, so almost perfume-like.

favorite excretion smell: Clean adult male sweat (not "dirty" sweat) -- Pheromonal, animalic, sexy as well as sexual, raw, anything but pure.

It's not just the soap and shampoo, even squeaky clean bodies can have a characteristic skin scent. And baby heads are indeed magic, especially newborns. But my personal favorite is man sweat, just a tiny bit past fresh.

I hate to be predictable, but here's yet another vote for the scent of reasonably clean male sweat. Sweaty-salty skin, to be more precise.

However, if somebody managed to bottle this exact scent -- in real or synthetic form, it doesn't matter -- I wouldn't be interested. I like my man-sweat directly from the source.
