Aromas, Perfumes And After Shave

[Guest Joanna Phipps]

Yeah, Yeah i know another odd title from Joanna. Since you gals have begun hrt how many of you have noticed that your sesitivity to aromas has increased. I am noticing subtlties of mens and womens cologns that I had not noticed before, and the results are not always pleasant. For example we had a conference in the hotel I work at and one of the leaders wore an aftershave that reminded me of sandlewood insence, I nearly gagged everytime he walked by the desk. We have had female customers whose perfume does ablsolutely nothing for them in my books and yes men do smell different from women.

anyone else noticed this

Joanna, this is a good title!

Women do smell differently from men and they can tell very minute difference from men. I really don't like those colonges, smell like something wierd to me. I always wear women's perfume before I transition and I am not on HRT yet. It goes well with my body scent, I remembered one time one of my GG clients sniffed my neck and compliment me Another time I was shopping in a mall, a 6 ft guy stopped and ask me what I was wearingand he loved the scent..... I think perfume really enhance our feminity.

What perfume you wear Joanna?

Actually I dont wear perfumes or cologns. I work in an environment where we are not supposed to wear much in the line of scents so I stick with the subtle one my deoderant has. Its degree for women, Classic Romance scent. I love it and it works well with me, they make a body spray with the same scent and I might get some of that.

OK.... Let me throw a CURVE ball.... When I like a Scent/perfume I stick to it. Perfumes that I wore very early onin transition are now repugnant and nasty smelling.... I think as out own pheramones change it mixrs with the scent and the combination of the two Changes as your body chemistry changes..... Does that make any Sense to you 'Girls" ?

I'm not on HRT yet, start this November though. Anywhooooo...I have a very sensitive or I should say a heightened sense of smell due to my vision loss. Any kind of perfume/cologne or scent is highly sensitive to me. I dont' know if that is good or bad. Hmmm.
