I use this perfume when I go outside...

And this for going out on a date or with my friends...

This is YSL Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Parfum Floral

I must smell like a peasant.

Strawberry Snowflakes by Bath & Body Works

Why do I find this to be inexplicably adorable?

I'm in what I jokingly call my strawberry phase. I try to make all of my body care/hair care/hygiene/perfume/ect, items smell like either coconut, strawberries or vanilla, or a mixture of two or more of those scents. My dream scent is to smell like a strawberry shortcake with a sprinkle of coconut on top. Tastes really good and probably smells just as good or better. A rare enough signature scent that most people won't have a similar signature scent or copy all three scents, but common enough scents that hopefully people will know what I'm going for. Plus, it smells sweet, just like me.

As for body mist/"perfume", I use Bodycology's Strawberry Cheesecake body mist. To me, it is a very good price at $5.00 for 8 ounces and it takes forever to get through the bottle. It smells a lot like Bath & Body Works Strawberry Pound Cake, but that one has glitter that stays on my skin forever and costs three times as much for the sane amount, so I stick with Bodycology so I don't go broke. I do try to be very careful and not over spray it, but also use enough that people can still smell it. I don't really get compliments on it, but no one complains either, and I figured that is fine by me. I'm doing it for myself since I like it, not to impress random strangers I may never see again. Plus, it makes me happy and that is what matters most.

I've never tried this brand, but I see it all the time. How would rate the longevity of it on your skin/clothing?

No clue. In complete honesty, my sense of smell is very bad. As a child, I don't remember my sense of smell standing out as especially good or especially bad, so I assume it was average. When Covid came around, I was mostly unaffected, except for my sense of smell. I could barely smell anything. People I knew would say they could smell X or Y, and I rarely could, if ever. It has come back slowly, but my sense of smell is MUCH weaker than the average person. It really sucks, but it isn't catastrophic and I've learned to adapt to ot a bit, as I don't know if there is a cure for it (much less that I could afford it, even if there was one). The one silver lining is if someone with bad body odor or breath is next to me, I'm none the wiser.

For comparison to the average person:

* I can only smell scented products of any kind and brand (body mist, leave in hair conditioner, lotion, ect) immediately as I am applying them, or unless I put the affected body part directly beneath my nose and sniff it. Otherwise, I can't smell it at all. Not even within 30 seconds of applying it, and I logically know the smell isn't gone that fast, so it must be my nose.

* I can only smell popcorn burning about half of the time.

* Some dinners that I make other people could smell from multiple rooms away, but I couldn't smell it unless it was directly in front of me, and even then, only faintly.

* I have to physically look to tell if the litter box is dirty, I can't smell it.

Oh wow, that's very interesting. But hey, like you said at least you can't smell the stinky.
