How do you smell?→[More:]I can't tell if the weird odor permeating my living room is me or the dead fishies in the Long Island Sound. Also, I can't tell if my sense of smell is totally screwed because of my allergies.
Wow, I clicked through to see if you were asking "How do you smell?" or "How do you smell?" and it looks like you're asking, um, both.
Right?
So... after a bout of sinusitis, my nose is recovering to normal, thanks very much. So I smell fine.
Kissing my fella goodbye before work, I noticed he smelled slightly different, clean and light but gently fragrant, and I remarked upon it. Turns out he's out of soap, so he used mine. Ah! So I guess I smell pretty fabulous, really. Good to know.
I felt Light Blue (by D&G) today so I smell kinda like green apples; when I feel pink, I smell like raspberries (Gucci II) and on the rare occasions that I feel orange, I smell, well, orange-y (Clinique Happy).
My sense of smell is freakishly acute. I'm the kind who can walk into a room and say "I smell banana," when no bananas are visible, only to eventually find that one is concealed in a desk drawer.
But how do I smell? Lately, like the grapefruity Aveda shampoo I started splurging on.companies." Oh. Okayyyy.
The sensitivity of my nose varies pretty widely throughout the month. Hormones, what? I have been known to say that all the good smells in the world do not make up for all the gut-wrenchingly awful ones.
Currently I smell like popcorn, windex and Dep hair gel (possibly the most distinctive smell in the universe).
I've probably passed the portion of the day where I smell like soaps and oils and whatnot, but I don't think I've gotten to the point where I smell like sweat. Here in the afternoon, I probably don't smell like much of anything.
I smell of fags, washing powder and man. That last one, mainly because I haven't used a deodorant in about 10 years. Although I shower regular so it aint overwhelming or unpleasant.
