Change in perspiration odor

[SheenaT]

Anyone notice a change in perspiration odor as estrogen levels change? I have noticed stronger differences recently. 

[Jackie C.]

Absolutely. First my "man-smell" started diminishing. That continued for about... oh, six months or so at which point my spouse reported, "You don't smell like you anymore."

 

My smell continued to diminish until I smelled faintly of vanilla. What you smell of may vary. My spouse has her own smell, but I wouldn't describe it as vanilla. It's just her.

 

Disclaimer: My sense of smell was strong before. I could tell you when my wife was about to start her cycle dependent on how she smelled and tasted when we kissed. I did not realize this was a super-power until we were well into our relationship. My wife was irregular. I could have saved her much hardship had I known. With great power comes great responsibility.

My sense of smell is actually stronger now. I have no idea how to apply my gift to fighting crime, but I can tell if somebody in the gym has had chocolate or fast food before they come in.

 

Hugs!

It is beginning to scare me.

Which part?

 

Naturally as your endocrine system adjusts to its new fuel, you're going to produce a different smell. Men do not smell like women (thank the Goddess). I mean if women smelled like men, I'd have to become ace and I like adult fun-time way too much to be satisfied with that. To be clear, I find the way men smell to be really gross. I cannot imagine putting my lips on one. Ew.

Your mileage may vary dependent on the personal aroma and grooming habits of your man. I can say there's a guy at the gym who can offend my nose at about twice the recommended social distancing range and I find it absolutely repulsive. Other men are less gross, but still do not smell attractive to me.

 

The bonus super-sense is pretty cool though. I mean sure when I walk through the kitchen, I smell open containers of everything. On the other hand, it's revealed nuances of smell and taste that I couldn't experience before and I appreciate the various notes in foods both familiar and novel.

 

I find the experience exhilarating, but that's me.

 

Hugs!

Maybe I'm just getting more sensitive smell.

[Jackie C.]

Oh, you'll get both but it'll happen on its own time table. Estrogen makes the sensory bulbs in your brain larger and more developed. This will make your sense of smell stronger. It'll also tell your endocrine system to start smelling like a girl. Both things will happen according to their own time table.

 

Older gals tend to take longer to see results than younger women.

 

Male puberty didn't hit me as hard as it may have hit some others. I consider this a blessing. However that means that despite my age, I'll be a little ahead of the curve in some areas. Also, I like smelling faintly of vanilla. It's like the spice I don't get to cook with enough. It's a good smell for me and I reinforce it with my hygiene products. It's always vanilla or lavender and I trend towards the vanilla when possible.

Sheena, not long after being on the T blocker, I noticed a reduction of noise in my head along with a better sense of smell and improved color perception. Welcome to the other side.

 

Hugs,

Mike

I wish my sense of smell could pick up some fragrances.but the meds im on killed my sense of smell

[Red_Lauren.]

I noticed I smelled different around a month or two. I have also noticed that my bed room doesn't stink like a locker room any longer. On a negative side. My smell down below has changed, and if I have been busy, hot, or haven't showered in a day. The smell while not as pungent, it still stinks.
