poltr1A recent post on one of the Facebook groups I'm in was about colognes and perfumes. What scents did we wear when we were younger?
My dad was an Old Spice user. So naturally, that became my first cologne. In college, I discovered Canoe. In the early 90s, I wore Windquest. (Then the manufacturer phased it out.) I thn discovered Woods (by Abercrombie & Fitch) and EBTek (by Eddie Bauer). But it's been a while since I last wore cologne. I don't wear it to events at the UU Fellowship because there are some folks who are scent-sensitive.
What were the scents the girls wore? Chris, my high school sweetheart, liked to wear her mother's Windsong. Erin, the girl I dated after Chris, wore Love's Baby Soft. I don't remember what Rebecca wore, but I remember we both tried Realm, which contained pheromones.
There are some scents that rub me the wrong way. Calvin Klein's Obsession just rankles my nose. And Opium is a bit too strong for me as well.
And then there was Owen. He was a student from Nigeria. He used to drench himself with Jovan's Sex Appeal cologne.
Rule of thumb: Use scents lightly. If I can smell you coming or going, then you've put on too much.
