On my mind recently because someone I’m not fucking mentioned that my scent aroused them. At first made me a bit self conscious because I had forgotten to wear deodorant, but it’s not the first time someone has told me that, and I’ve definitely thought to myself that the way some guys smell can get me rock hard.
It’s something I would normally keep to myself, but now I’m wondering if other people are into natural (but still clean!) scents and we just don’t talk about it because of social hangups. I think I prefer people to smell like people and not volatile chemicals.

Yes, it does.
I could tell just by smell alone if my partner was available for me to make an advance and even during the event I could gauge how good things were going.
Then, birth control.
Hey, I lose an advantage but my partner is spared of a lot of pain, misery and shit.
You’re putting the condom over the wrong head :p
The more I read your sentence, the more readings I get from it and the more I laugh.
I love perfume, for myself. Not trying to be sexy with it, but like to smell affirmatively good not just clean. I don’t like “clean smelling” perfumes at all, the laundry musks are not my thing. Some of my kids like those, I don’t. Guys, as long as they don’t smell bad, that’s a win.
But I have twice in my life been ridiculously, outrageously sexually attracted to guys I didn’t like the look of, and could only conclude my body must have thought they were biologically compatible. It wasn’t an obvious smell or anything, not consciously, but I do think it was a smell that I could subconsciously perceive.
That’s really interesting! Maybe it is a pheromone thing, haha. I totally get that not quite conscious thing though.
I admit I’m not sure what you mean by “laundry musk.” I shy away from any kind of applied fragrance because they tend to be overwhelming to me (I don’t even really like unscented deodorants becaise they still smell like…idk, lemongrass?), so maybe I’m just unfamiliar with the term.
It’s a sort of inhumanly clean sorta soap smell in some perfumes, usually in the understated minimalist ones. I like florals, fruity stuff, dirty musks, spices, but apply lightly because it’s for me, don’t want much projection. I don’t think guys usually care. I remember once I asked 3 men and one said “only vanilla”, one said “anything but vanilla” and one said “I don’t care”
So I went on just pleasing myself. Anybody close enough to smell it hopefully is already into me, lol.
Oh! I also wanted to note, it took a long time for my husband to believe that I was wearing perfume. He would say “you smell so good” and I’d say “yeah, Mure et Musc Extreme” (or whatever I had on), and he’d say “no, it’s a little bit your shampoo or body wash mostly just you, not perfume” but it was definitely the perfume.
So it is possible that some of the scent you think is just person is actually perfume, a lot of them wear down to really pretty, very human smelling skin scents.
Absolutely! Scent is a big part of attraction for me! And i’m not talking about perfume, or fragrances like shampoo, which I’ve grown not to like because they hide peoples actual scents.
Assuming everyone is hygienic and reasonably clean, most people just smell like people, unexciting, neutral, noticeable but fades into the general environment. but some people… i don’t know what it is but I walk past them or hug them and get a whiff of their scent and I’m instantly coo coo bananas feral ready to tear them apart.
Literally nothing on earth turns me on more than smelling my wife’s back right after she wakes up 🫠
I feel this, I’m the same way with my partner!
Personally I prefer a neutral and clean smell, but everyone does have their own scent. I don’t know that I would say musk is a big turn on for me per se, but it’s not uncommon for someone to walk past me and their smell definitely changes how attractive I find them. Sometimes enough that I need to give myself a mental slap in the face to make sure I’m not being weird 😅
Yeah for me at least, it’s not so much musk as it is some quality that’s almost not even a smell, but just kind of a rich warmth that comes off of some people. Deodorants and colognes kind of obliterate it, which is a shame. It’s hard to describe it, but it just smells very human and comforting.
Not to say smell itself never excites me. I have a friend I go down on occasionally who is festiduously clean, but the way his balls smell when he’s turned on is like catnip for me. Like I can sense how turned on he is by the scent, it’s strange.
That’s pheromones for you! 😁 I do agree withyou that I prefer someone’s natural scent over fragrances, but sometimes there’s just an intangible “I really want to fuck this person feeling” that I’ve only been able to attribute to smell.
Ugh, yes, I live for that, I wish I got to smell it more often
