OK I wanted to try this out because I haven't done it in a while. I went one day without wearing any scent of any kind. I have gone days without wearing perfume, but I would at least put on a scented lotion of some kind. I have never just purposely gone without a scent unless I'm sick or something, but even then I've been known to spray on a little something like Love Spell.
I have always had a blood hound nose. I can smell things other people can't and rather intensely. I find that wearing perfume kind of tames the intensity of my ability to smell things at 100X. There are just some things that don't need to be experienced at 100X lol. I really noticed that today. It's funny how as a perfume wearer you find yourself relating and discovering things due to how it smells, especially when you aren't wearing any perfume/cologne.
Let me tell you that it was one of the hardest things I've had to do. It reminds of when I try to go a whole day without drinking a Coke. I must have reached for my perfume or a scented lotion about 20 times lol. I didn't shower with a scented gel. I just used my regular soaps. I didn't use any scented lotions not even my Baby Magic or my Aveda patchouli. I just used my regular lotions.
One of the first things I noticed was how good my clothes smelled. I use the vanilla and lavender downy fabric softner. I felt like a junky or something lol. I mean I just had to smell something scented on myself. When I noticed the scent of my clothes, I felt like I just took my 1st sip of Coke for the day. Ahhhh the 1st sip of Coke. It's just something about satisfying that addiction that many of us have at the start of your day, whether it's coffee, or ciggs, or exercise. I was thinking could wearing perfume be an addiction????? I know that wearing perfume has increased my need to smell things that are pleasant.
I walk towards the front of my apt and I notice the scent of my freshly washed clothes on the bed of the spare bedroom. I walk into the living room and I get an overwhelming scent of watermelon bubble gum that is sitting on the counter in my kitchen. It was a little muggy outside, but I could have been knocked over by the scent of those bird nests that hang in the rafters of my apt building. I have always noticed the scent, but it was really intense today. What does the bird nest smell like you say? I can't really describe it. It's kind of like cedarwood mixed with an animal like smell. I open my mailbox and I can smell that newspaper smell cause my box was filled with junk mail and sales papers. I walk to my car and I noticed the smell of other folk's apts. I can smell the grass. It was cut earlier that day. I got in my car and took in a deep breath. I love the smell of my trees (vanillaroma/coconut). I step out my car at work and the 1st thing I smell is the water from the water treatment thing that is located near our parking lot. It's like smelling rain in the air before it actually rains. When I walk into the hospital, I immediately noticed the smell of someone else's perfume still floating in the air by the time clock. I took a deep breath lol. It's funny because I've been sniffing my co-workers all night lmao!! I'm like a little junky. It's so crazy!!!
This was an enlightening experience to say the least. I have come to crave not only love the smells of beautiful perfumes and colognes, but the need to smell anything with a scent. I have always associated many things with scents. Today, I just wanted to see if I could go a day without wearing any perfume. I kind of felt half dressed, naked even....*giggle*. I love perfume, but never really thought of it as a part of my life so to speak. I mean I wear it every day, but it's like a part of getting dressed so it seemed. It felt funny not having anyone tell me how good I smell today. I have a haibit of smelling my undershirt during the day. Today, I just smell my downy freshness. I've found that my ex was right. I am just a sweet as I can be.....*giggle*. I do have a sweetness in my natural essence. You can smell it in my bed sheets. I love my natural smell. I'm guessing that's why I love gourmands so much. It's very close to my own natural smell and fuels my craving for sweets. It's know wonder that I have a sweet tooth too. Hmmmm makes me think of how all the things that I love are connected.
I want you guys to try it too. Has there ever been a day when you went completely scentless? I mean you didn't wear any kind of scent what so ever, no scented bath wash or lotion. I mean it was just "YOU". I don't mean a lazy day around the house either. I'm talking about your usual day when you would perfume. Have you ever just decided not to wear any kind of scent just for the hell of it? I can so see myself on an episode of A&E's Intervention lmao!! My family and friends would be blocking my vanity and telling me to get help. I would go around sniffing strangers.
I feel so naked lol.
