Smelling like a rose
Years ago when I was young, Best Beloved, there was a series of ads for a deodorant called Impulse. If you used it, the ad promised, handsome men would buy you flowers on, well, impulse. They'd run after you to give you the flowers. It was sweet.Very fashionable nowadays to create your own perfume and promise women that they will enjoy a magical transformation. The fact I haven't eaten a proper meal in 20 years and work out 4 hours a day? Forget it. A dab of my new brand behind your ears and you will magically turn into me.
Today I took the dog for her walk and she found some fox droppings and before I could stop her was rolling around in the stuff, groaning with delight. She thinks she's the dog's dinner, right now. I think she stinks, even AFTER a wash-down.
Asking the men - do you like perfume on women? Strong, or just a faint fragrance? Old-fashioned and flowery scent, or bold and thrilling?
Because we spend a lot on the stuff, and sometimes I wonder if we might just as well be rolling in fox scat.

I remember Impulse very well. I used the Musk one for years...before I could afford real perfume.
Wtf is it with dogs and fox poo?...mine loves the stuff as well
I'm watching the responses with bated breath....................................
I never wear perfume...but i do need deodarant....
Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
So I hope a few blokes do answer
Ja, would like to hear from the menkind as well
Yeah we talked about odd stuff in the office
But you remind me that while for most vanilla, for example, is a great room deodorant, it makes others gag. Smells are VERY odd things!
Because we spend a lot on that, for presents, too.
I'm more into fresh cologne and even some men after shave.
Regarding dogs...mine rolls in dead rabbits when he can find one and that's the worst smell you can imagine!! Even after washing him the smell lingers on for days.
The reason why dogs do that is the wolf instinct when in the pack they need to cover their scent before going hunting.
My pet hate were those bloody awful scented trees people hung from there rear view mirror, I'd sooner have a car with a petrol leak that one of those
I could understand that, though, covering her scent, but to take on a predator's scent seems counter-productive!
(Er, any absolute favourites? Anything that would make you rush off to buy flowers?)
In fact I meant to ask Un too if it ever worked. Never did with me, not a flower ever appeared
From what Ish says they sell it here, just need to track it down.
Hey, hey, remember Charlie perfume? THAT got me flowers once! Okay, picked, not bought, but a big bunch, aw.
Although now for the first time I'm wondering if that was to cancel out the smell of Charlie.
Strong stuff, Charlie.
Agreed, the bottle was gooooood...until he decided that he owned me for the night
Spray Charlie straight to the eyes in a situation like that.
Unla.....yes Charlie perfume at the age of 16....
Keep it clean, poppet.
Wish you'd asked her. Next time you see her, stop her and say you're asking for a friend what it is she wears
Have you noticed, not ONE guy has specified what kind of scent he likes? Apart from Tru liking the expensive stuff. And Z not liking it in any shape or form.
What this blog needs is a scratch-and-sniff patch.
