If we're doing "attractive" (in the sense that the OP was saying), I don't like men's cologne, nothing is surer to give me a headache and ruin my evening. I've always liked the smell of shaving cream, though. Actually, many of the smells that accompany clean, well-kept men are attractive :eek:.

For scents that I just enjoy,

Rose water (roses in general...the real ones, not flower shop ones).
Lily of the Valley
Lilacs
Ink
Freshly mown lawn
Leather
Gasoline
Rain
Old books
Horses
the damp, mossy smell in some woods
Baby skin
Citrus
Cucumbers
Chocolate
Sunshine on plants
Hair (clean, of course!)

I can't think of any more right now.

I could go all "Robert Duvall" on you guys... "I love the smell of napalm in the morning.... smells like.... victory..."

one of my favorites, that I haven't been privileged to smell in a while, would be the way it smells in the mountains of Colorado after a summer shower...

Oooh, I just thought of another one! The spicy, perfumed smell that usually scents the letters of my best friend (who I am very sad to say lives several states away from me so I don't see her :(). I've actually never asked her what it is, I just know I love it because it reminds me of her.

Fresh baked goods, fresh cut grass, peppermint, lavender, cinnamon, earth after a rain, coffee, sampaguita (Jasminum sambac), ilang-ilang, meaning flower of flowers (Cananga odorata), frangipani… I’m sure there are others, but the last three remind me of childhood (from school, passing by young frangipani tree we could still climb)... will think again.

Old woman with sampaguita lei (w/ ilang-ilang)

I strongly agree with this. Pretty much all masculine scents make me think of like old musky wet laundry or spoiled fruits, for real : p I hate every masculine scent Ive ever tried ever. I dont know why the male gender is forced to wear over powering bitter scents, is pretty lame.

Anywho I like sweet smells mostly. Fruity stuff especially.

For like regular day smells I like the smell that appears after it rains. And the smell of burning wood.

Depends on which kind of tobacco. I like the one with apple flavoring added to it. Dislike stogieish smell.

Okay, it's a given your parents weren't great to be around, but I bet there was someone in your life somewhere along the way that made you go all Debby Boone.
[video=youtube;b07-yKnKRMQ]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b07-yKnKRMQ[/video]

So when you think of that person that lights up your life, what's that smell? I bet you like that smell.

For me, that was Mom, who smelled like sheets drying on a clothesline in spring.

Another is my brother. His smell is like a reptile house.

Hubby smells like a pillow under my head on a old winter night, but I'm warm and cozy.

My uncle (the patriarch in my family) smells like apple-wood pipe tobacco and the day after there was a fire in the fireplace.

Most of my favorite smells are my favorite smells because they remind me of the Light-up-my-life people throughout my life.

I bet you've had a mentor -- maybe a teacher, maybe a boss, maybe a coworker, maybe the person who brought you to the Lord -- who made everything seem all right again after feeling like you've been living out in the cold for far too long. What did that person smell like? I bet that's a smell you like.

When hubby was in rehab, but still couldn't bath himself, he wasn't getting enough baths to make him feel clean, so he asked me for a men's body spray.

Asking a women to get a men's body spray is something like asking a man to "go pick up some tampons." First, you have to know what that even means. And second, you land on an aisle that guarantees you will feel completely lost as to which one.

I tried. I had to find another guy shopping in the same store to ask him what's good, (and what is it. lol) I brought hubby some Axe Body Spray. He loves it.

I think it smells like old-fashioned spray deodorant. Not a fan, and don't get why men would want body sprays. lol

Me too! Strangely, that smell reminds me of Mom too. lol (We moved a lot, so she was forever putting stuff in them or taking them out.)

smells are so very personal, and often our prejudices for them come from our youth...
I rarely wear deodorant, but if I do, it is all natural - but when I don't, hub somehow
says that he just loves my natural smells, even when we have been working outside...
go figure!:rolleyes: He NEVER wears deodorant, and I simply LOVE his natural smells,
no matter what!!! actually, they often 'turn me on'...

after hub and I grew-up, and are still growing-up, we have been drawn by our Saviour
to His essentials oils that can bring so much healing and relief from so many maladies...

many won't use them because they are 'not acceptable smells', but we love them all, especially,
'tea-tree-cedar-peppermint-cloves-eucalyptus-lavender! all Biblical and very old remedies for great
relief for so many things...

I would be a stone-drug-addict, had Jesus not led us to discover these amazing remedies...

of course, a loving, generous, patient, partner is KEY!:)you know, the one who loves you enough
to rub-you-down' when ever you need it...

God is so Good!!!

Lol, when we were kids, we LOVED the Hayley Mills version. But as I got older, I thought "Man, those parents were awful splitting up the twins like that." I know the scene you mean, with Charles Ruggles as the grandfather (I love him as an actor).
