Guest e**m***h Report post Posted May 20, 2011 I find perfumes are often overpowering or too bold. And given the difficulties they can cause others in public spaces, I would have no problem if we left them behind completely. There are so many great scents we do not have to manufacture. The scent of warm, soft skin...just naturally (especially in a moment of passion) is one of the best on earth! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

castle 38816 Report post Posted May 21, 2011 Being single and with no real allergies to it I don't mind perfume...sometimes it can be a real turn on. A scent I'm not used to, something unfamiliar....adds to the excitement a bit I guess. But there's a limit of course...if she practically bathed in it...that's a different story. I'd also like to hear the other side of things though...how do you ladies feel about a client wearing cologne? Obviously if you're allergic the answer is obvious...but if you're not do you prefer if a client does or does not? I tend to spray a little on before an encounter.

VedaSloan 119179 Report post Posted May 21, 2011 I am in the business of discretion. It's hardly discreet if you (the client) show up at home reeking of another woman. My personal preference for the gents is little to no scent--just that nice clean soap smell is fine. Anything else is overpowering and then my incall ends up smelling like your cologne/aftershave and I have to Febreze the crap out of everything. It's hardly sexy to show up at an escort's incall and it smells of other men. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest C*****tte Report post Posted May 22, 2011 I find it so hard to not put on perfume. I have a signature scent and don,t feel quite like myself without it. But when I receive clients while in Ottawa I do not wear it. In Montreal I normally do outcall for visiting gentlemen so I don't worry about so much then. Suggestion for men.. Bring your own toiletry kit if smelling different than usual is an issue. I have some clients who do this and I always grin at them thinking they are so smart. I like people who think ahead. :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba 18389 Report post Posted May 22, 2011 I'm one of those people who are sensitive to perfume of all types - includes those imparted by soaps or whatever other means. Even the scent left on a lady by other patrons. It is absolute poison to me. I used to work in a place where some Arabic guy had the unfortunate habit to drench himself in the most obnoxious cologne available. Maybe a cultural thing. It hung in the air like heavy fart. Very offensive and inconsiderate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

April Dawn 12207 Report post Posted May 23, 2011 The whole thing about scents for me is that they are unisex. In the real world I wear men's "cologne" (which is completely the wrong terminology because cologne is a fragrance only from that region) all the time and everyone loves it and constantly asks me what I am wearing. People don't guess I am wearing something marketed for men. For sessions I wear zero scent and hope my clients do as well because I have some pretty serious allergies. I do enjoy stetson on men though... Posted via Mobile Device Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The conditioner I use on my hair currently is definitely a man-ish scent (it's considered a unisex scent though). I just hate smelling like flowers and old lady bathrooms. You know?

Chanel Reign 28097 Report post Posted May 24, 2011 LOOOOVE perfume! Women don't seem to wear perfume to work any more because people can be sensitive to it. I see signs on buses warning people not to wear scents because it can irritate passengers. When did people become so sensitive to perfume (and cologne, for that matter?) Don't get me wrong, I don't think perfume should be suffocating. You should only be able to smell it if you're within a close handshake to someone. But I do find perfume to be a major, major turn-on. I do miss the days of women smelling like women (as opposed to smelling like "neutral") and trying to guess what perfume she's wearing or even striking a conversation about what perfume she's wearing. Environmental allergies are a result of several factors in our culture and surroundings, what we breathe and eat, and where it comes from. Our collective North American bodies are in forced evolution due the bountiful imports of things we are genetically unfamiliar with. Over time and space (lol) we will evolve into a more stronger species without these allergies and obesity we see today. Humans are organisms that are very flexible at adapting. Therefore this is why we see scent-free zones in our culture today. Some gents prefer, some dont. Perfume should make you want to come in closer, not want you to run screaming in ickyness. And yes I get headaches walking by that stupid LUSH store! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest blo*****s Report post Posted May 27, 2011 I think the best scent is the "absence" of a bad scent - and this goes both ways. If I was a SP, I wouldn't want to be with a client that smelled like a garbage truck. If I were a client, I wouldn't want to smell like the SP's perfume (scent and strength), nor would I want to smell like their previous client. The best bet would be for everyone to smell "clean" - like a "freshly-showered" clean if you get my drift - that would be the ideal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Scarlett 25073 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 I am highly allergic to perfumes, so I do not wear any such things. But I do however have an all natural fruit deodorant I wear and body spray. They are both light scented and chemical free! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ottawaadventurer 5114 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 It's funny - I used to be the kind of guy that thought he didn't like perfume on a woman... Natural scent, etc... But a couple of years ago I was with a woman who was wearing something that drove me mad. In the morning I woke up and smelled her perfume on me and I was sent right back to our magical moment. I even bought a bottle of it so I could smell it again. Scent is such a powerful sense... It wires itself into the brain and creates very long-lasting memories. Just writing this sends me back to that day. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Meg O'Ryan 266444 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 I have a mild allergy to strong scents so I tend to stay away from them. I am a body wash, body spray kinda gal. Also, no offence to you wonderful gents, I prefer only body wash or soap on you guys :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tiffany Amber 7031 Report post Posted May 27, 2011 I do wear perfume all the time. Even after I take my shower before bed, I spray myself with perfume, dont know why but I do! But I do put it in places where the scent will not transfer on to someone else. Like that back of my neck, right underneath the hair line, behind my ears, and behind my knees. That way I still smell great and I dont have to worry about my gentlemen friends getting into trouble! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethany Westbrooke 7532 Report post Posted May 30, 2011 I don't wear perfume most days but on the odd day I feel like wearing some and I am working I will only spray it on the very top of my head into my hair. I find as I wear my hair up during my sessions to keep it fresh and oil-free it doesn't cause an issue and haven't heard anyone comment on it... I always ask clients if they have any allergies as I use febreeze and other scented products in my studio... Most are allergic to pets only from my asking them... In my off-time, I love wearing scents but still try to spray the most of it on my hair, don't like the idea of my skin absorbing the chemicals. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ***t***iv*** Report post Posted June 3, 2011 I remember one of my very first clients ever: A friend and I had just started working for a lady. We were both there and a client called. He selected his girl based on which one wasn't wearing perfume. Even now, I rarely ever wear perfume to work. I use scented body wash, scented antiperspirant, scented hair products and scented lotions on a daily basis. Perfume is only once in a while. If ever worn to work, its with a regular client you're spending multiple hours with and you already know its going to be acceptable. (you asked about allergies) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest W***ledi*Time Report post Posted June 3, 2011 Perfumes and artificial scents are fine when used correctly, but they're not necessary. Supposedly perfumes were used centuries ago in certain cultures (esp. European) to mask the b.o. resulting from folks not washing very often. Today, they're more appropriately used to accent the fresh clean natural smell of a body - which is of course marvelous beyond measure in its own right, and in all its nuances. I myself prefer that artificial scents become noticable only in "the intimacy sphere" - within a few inches of the wearer's body. I'm not a fan of perfume when it's used as a general form of social expression (this goes for boom-boxes, too). As for types of perfume, I'm most definitely not a connoisseur. The greater the mystery, the better. I do like fruity scents, and some other food-types like vanilla, etc. (Plain vanilla definitely doesn't mean a lack of kinkiness in this particular context.) Scent-type memories seem to be particularly powerful and long-lasting, whether it's in an erotic setting or anywhere else. One of my most comforting memories is of the oft-repeated ritual of entering my grandparents' home and being hugged and kissed on the cheek by my gramma. She's been dead these 30 years, but the smell of her perfume mixed with the smell and warmth of the kitchen woodstove is indelibly imprinted on my brain forever. That's my two scents.

Chanel Reign 28097 Report post Posted June 3, 2011 Walk by a place that has the smell of a childhood favourite food. Your brain will immediately take you back to that time. Or the smell of chalk. I get slightly nauseated when I smell frankincense and myrrh. Too much church when I was a child! Mateus wine will do the same, although that was a teen plan gone very wrong. Our olfactory senses are the strongest memory invokers of all our senses. They can trigger good and bad memories. "Comfort food" is often associated with our nose and not our mouth. The same can be said about scent. I wear the same perfumes and some people associate that particular smell with me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chilifreak 105 Report post Posted June 15, 2011 The same can be said about scent. I wear the same perfumes and some people associate that particular smell with me. That can only be a good thing! Personally i'm a fan of colognes, i have a collection of about 20 bottles and i rotate them part of my daily routine. Some for each season, daytime, evening, special occasions etc... There are not too many women's fragrances that drive me wild, but anything that has gourmand notes gets me going. And on the subject of transferring, i personally don't mind since i am single, and love to smell a woman's scent after an encounter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
