Urinal Cakes from Daim Blond, really Jaime?

Someones nose is really screwed up there...

you smell like "the insides of a Turkish wrestlers leather jock strap"

OK, now what would I be wearing from Uncle Serge Luten's store?

Yup, I absolutely agree... My loving spouse has a very bad sense of smell. Most of what I wear "smells the same to me," and almost all comments (though few and far between) are negative.

Old

Kbe - no way!!!!!
I'll say you smell sophisticated and elegant- so there!

I get very few comments, but a couple good ones:

Over applied AOS Sandalwood one morning and walked into a early meeting with a fresh cup of coffee : "You drinking some fancy flavored coffee?"

My favorite ever, wearing a spicy bay rum my six year old said I smelled like pumpkin pie.

Actually most French Whores smell incredibly good LOL

To me: Most people just say I smell nice.

Just the other day: Micallef Shanaan = Pink smoker lollies.

wtf.

The Different Company Jasmin de Nuit - ... No words - only tears! Good tears, not bad ones. The sniffer loved the way it smelled on skin.

Yesterday I got told I smelled like "ginger beer" (ginger ale) but apparently that was a good thing. That was when I mixed Auric Blends 'Majik' and Tobacco Vanille.

My spouse says the same thing about my frags too... She has negative comments about a lot of my fragrances. I feel ya' Jaime.

Apparently I smell like Bubblegum today Hmmmmmmmmm

When I was wearing Infusion d'Homme, my ex girlfriend said that I smelled soap...

That's a good thing!

You smell like you covered your body in cookie dough....no, seriously do you have cookie dough in your pockets? - Escada Magnetism

Guerlain Vetiver - Old man, pinesol, Grandpa
Le Male - Rootbeer, Ex Boyfriend
Body Kouros - Cotton Candy, A woman in a bar grabbed me, leaned in and inhaled deeply and said I smelled incredibly sexy
Tobacco Vanille - Candle
Bois du Portugal - Was at my Mom's house and her friend said "something smells amazing is that incense?" my Mom responds "it must be this new defuser I bought"

I remembered when I (stupidly) sprayed that on my wrist at Barney's. I had to turn to one of my friends saying, "This was a mistake. I smell like a Wilson's Leather outlet." FYI, brand new cars with leather interiors make me nauseous for whatever reason.

A male prostitute when i was wearing Joop! and since then never liked or worn it!

"Dude, are you GAY?" (My uncle smelling Black Aoud on me)

OUCH!! I like Caron's PH.

I used to like Tous Man until I actually applied a good amount and not too long after my sister said it smelled like baby powder

I'm gonna stay away from Tous Man for a while.

"You smell like a bicycle seat after Tour de France" - Rochas Man

"Hey Situation, pump that fist!" - 1 Million

Several winters ago I was wearing Hermes Bel Ami as my signature scent. I wore it usually underneath a sweater and a heavy wool coat. At the end of the day, I would often change my clothes into something lighter.

One day I came out of the bathroom to find my girlfriend with my sweater up to her nose, inhaling deeply. I stood and watched her for at least five minutes, the fabric to her nostrils. She often did this when she thought I wasn't watching. She also liked to wear my clothes around after I took them off. If that's not a compliment I don't know what is.

Sounds more like jealousy

LOL - I love that everyone that smells nice is gay. Haha!


Hmmmmmmmm!

I've mainly had compliments on my fragrances.

My boss on her last day of work, " you've always smelled nice, never been able to tell you", being my favourite

Also, the one main negative, my dad, "you smell like MY grandma", Creed Green Valley!

Hilarious thread. It's funny to read how other's perceive certain scents.

I rarely get compliments when I wear fragrances. Maybe a couple at most. However, unfortunately it seems I have managed to draw more negative comments than compliments

I will preface my experiences by saying I am the only guy at work who wears frags. So any comments from co-workers entering the room I am in, I assume are based on the frags I am projecting. " Who was smoking pot?" - John Varvatos Vintage.
Uh,yeah, that would be me . . .I just decided to spark one up here at my desk to take the edge off. Seriously. That damn patchouli and I thought Varvatos was suppose to have lousy projection?

My girlfriend has leveled numerous negative comments toward Gucci Pour Homme -
" It smells like a 100 hundred lit cigars around a campfire in here" & towards Bang as well. Needless to say, the Gucci was banished from collection & gifted to a friend & Bang, well, let's say it has caused me to go underground on numerous occasions.

I think after reading this thread I will be self conscious wearing M7. I had not realized so many perceive it as an "Old lady's perfume"
Here, all the while walking around wearing it, I thought I was coming off like Lee Marvin and in actuality to some maybe Grandma Lee. Jeesh
M7 just seems so masculine to my nose that it could not be possible

Blue Sugar..you smell like flan

Usually people just say " you smell nice" I have had a few "awesome, great, amazing and a couple Yummy's" I haven't had many actually pick out specific notes really or say it in that fashion.

My 4 year old daughter will tell me "Boy that one's a real stinker" if she doesn't like the scent lol.

She loves to sit and smell all the caps though, does it at least 2x a week haha.

Comet cleaner........... Cruel Intentions By Kilian

I was looking for what fragrances they use in Comet and found this:

http://notesfromjosephine.blogspot.c...-cleanser.html

I get the association but it doesn't bother me.

that's an interesting one.. So u smell like butt juice?

Good, nice, lovely, etc...several, mostly sweet, fragrances.
Like wearing a woman's perfume (Bvlgari Soir), like not having had a shower (can't remember..something manly), like a macho (again, something manly), bad, here put on this Allure boredHomme Sport instead (Santos Concentree) : /

When I was wearing Silver Factory, my wife told me I small like Indian Shop.

Kilian Pure Oud - why are you wearing Bangay ? -from my bf.....

"you smell like dust" (I was wearing Aoud Musk)
"you smell like an energetic drink with vintamin C!" (I was wearing Bois Des Iles)
"you smell like bubblewrap" (I was wearing SKAI)

You smell like my grandfather.

My boss, at job.
I was wearing Kouros Fraicheur (his granny always wear Kouros, so my boss have an acurated nose!)

LOL!!!!!!!!

Love this thread!

Encre Noire: "A leather coat someone left in a smoky bar."
Quorum: "Like an old sweater that's been locked in a wooden chest in an attic for years."
Halston Man Amber and Tommy Bahama Original: "Pencil shavings."

Once in college I was wearing Tea Rose on the bus and a fellow student blurted out "Who smells like a grandma?". I love the smell of roses and the Tea Rose definitely fit my poor college student budget, but sadly that comment put me off rose perfumes for the next decade or so (fortunately, I got over it). Recently I was wearing Bobbi Brown's Beach when a friend commented "You smell like Summer!" (it smells like Coppertone).

"you smell like you've showered in mojito" = Virgin Island Water
"i don't know what you look like, just let me smell you some more" = Dior Homme Intense

A couple of nights ago, I was told that I smelled "better than the fried rice that I've been cooking all day", by a chef.

"Ughh, that smells like skunk." - Aventus

"You smell like a department store." - Azzaro Pour Homme

....Non fragrance people are completely retarded about fragrances sometimes. Even if you think Bleu is completely boring, average, and derivative, I don't see how someone could possibly say it smells like their "Grandpa's basement."

"Fragrances are subjective," I don't completely agree with this statement, though it is true to some extent

On Vintage Tabarome: "You smell like Indian food." I nearly shot him.

LOL

Actually, it smells like MY basement. When I was on my big Bleu kick, I was using it as a repellant for recluse-type spiders. On carpet, it has months of longevity. And spiders do NOT like it.


LOL

The dude probably thinks Hindu Grass smells like a smoky old gentleman's club, too!

Apple pie - Ambre Narguile
Dirt - Borneo 1834

My wife told me I smelled like gasoline. I was wearing Guerlain Vetiver.

"lemons" - Allure Sport Cologne
"lemons" - Dior Sport
"Yummy" - Gucci PH II
"sweet Coconuts" - La Nuit de L'Homme YSL

"you smell like a really old lady" - Tobacco Vanille.

I'm really not sure that she talked about me, but just after I sprayed 3-4 sprays of CdG Tar in my room with door almost closed, my mother, who was in the living room, started to say she smelled some fireworks freshly burned and went to the window to check if the smell went from outdoor. Again, I can't verify if she really talked about my fragrance because I'm not sure if it smells in all the flat when I spray in my room, but I would find that really funny if it was actually my fragrance she was talking of
