Is anyone similar. I absolutely love fragrances

My aunt bought me some very nice samples of men’s perfumes and I loved using them when I went out. But the pricing to replace them was too steep so I just buy fairly cheap ones from a supermarket’s own brand now. They aren’t as nice but the self care aspect feels good.

I love the stinky smell of my armpits after not showering for a month 
After my last clinical trial I started buying a ton of fragrances for me and my GF. I stopped only when I ran out of room to store them. Bought quite a few for her daughter too.
It’s gotten me out of a 20+ year slump not taking care of my hygiene as well as I should have.
Since then I shower everyday and wear different fragrances each day. It’s a blessing.
My GF also enjoys her perfumes. She sprays a little on her pillow before she goes to sleep each night. She says it helps her fall asleep. Keeps her mind off of her worries.

Just a reminder that your love of scents can adversely affect the health and comfort of those with scent sensitivities, allergies, and respiratory issues when you wear them in public.

Lol! I hope this is a joke. It’s extremely unlikely if not impossible to make any difference to anyone. You’d have to use half a bottle at a time for it to be significantly noticeable. Even then it wouldn’t cause actual harm just a scent.
I’m really sensitive to spray on deodorant. If I’m in the same room when someone is applying it liberally I find it really hard to breathe. But even then people that are already wearing it don’t bother me.

Not joking. I have this issue and it can be very debilitating.
When I walk past the body shop it really hits you hard
Olfaction is a secondary sense for me. I’m more of an audio-visual person. But I do enjoy perfumes, especially flower-themed, also anything by Old Spice.

I love my scents too. Essential oils, perfumes. They can put me in a good mood.

Me too. I couldn’t put my finger on why I like perfume so much until you said that.

Scents are known to affect mood. The smell of fresh herbs and spices give me such a lift while I am cooking.

I’ve been buying colognes and parfums lately. They have a lot of good scents that are affordable. A lot of good smelling middle eastern colognes online I’ve been buying. There was a time where I only showered once every 2 weeks. I was totally out of it and depressed. I felt sorry for myself. Now I shower every other day and wear scents every day. I have small goals. I read 5 pages from books everyday to promote a growth mindset and I workout Monday thru Friday. Still out of my mind. Saw some shadow things running around my house last night and think a girl from college is following me around and working at different stores I go to. Sometimes I believe if you’re smart enough you can reason your way out of schizophrenia. I think you can compartmentalize things and I do for awhile until everything blends together and my mind and body is powerless to this schizophrenic supernatural force that doesn’t care about my logic. It just ravages me like a person above me that can predict my every move and use it against me to control me. Despite that, I’m having a decent day today. Waiting on some packages to come. Have a good day. Good things
