Lisa,
Too true. Those are good scents. I also really like the salt-mineral scent the shower takes on after I've been on a long, hot ride, or the weedy, rich scents of healthy lakes on summer days, or the rich smell of the grass in fields after hot days after the sun goes down, and the cool night air opens the fibers as the wind blows through...

...but those aren't necessarily scents I'd wear when I'm, say, at the club, dancing close to my sweety or for a job interview.

I tend to shy away from actual perfumes and instead favor essential oils, like a dab of lavender, jasmine, patchoulli, or dragonsblood. For kicks, I bought a vial of pheremone to add to scents, but the 'results' can be so varied, I'm not even sure it works.
Thankfully, it was pretty cheap. The only thing I've noticed more is that people will comment more often on the scent of the oil itself, whatever kind I'm wearing.
