Burnt Pan Handles?....................arrgh

I agree, pan handlers often don't smell too good.

We have a "No Scent" policy at work. That means shampoos, soaps, perfumes, candles, fabric softener.

Speaking of which, I've never found a fabric softener I can stand. I don't like the scents, and I don't even particularly care for the way they make my clothes feel. I mean, it's nice to avoid the static cling, but I'd much rather put up with that and have nice crisp-feeling, scent-less clothing.

Bad JuJu, you can get scent-free fabric softener sheets. I think the one we use is Bounce. I also use Tide Free to wash our clothes, since neither one of us can stand the smell of laundry detergent and/or fabric softeners. Needless to say, I don't wear perfume/cologne any more, although I have to admit that there was a time when I was an Estee Lauder girl. But now that I'm older and have allergies, it makes me sneeze. Oh well, more money to spend on biking and running stuff!

I am not a big fan of Perfume or Colonge, but I must say I LOVE the scented lotions from Bath and Body or Victoria Secret.

I also don't like when men put on too much after shave or cologne!

I agree...more money to spend on BIKING STUFF!!!!!

If you're close enough to smell me, you'd better be kissing me!

I do essential oils or Bulgari perfumes. Neither give me migraines. My favorite is Bulgari Green Tea "Extreme".

I'm in the essential oil camp. I wear bergamot and geranium oils.

Most people I've met are NOT allergic to essential oils because they are not synthetic like perfume.

Perfume gives me a headache, even the ones I like the smell of. And if you can tolerate them, Demeter perfumes are really cool (grass, tomato, salt air, green tea, laundry, grapefruit, etc.)

For those who want to avoid fabric softener, which I've heard is one of the most environmentally unfriendly things you can have in your house, I got those blue tennis-ball sized things that go in the dryer and fluff up the clothes without chemicals.

[Raindrop]

I only wear one perfume and that is one I can't spell the name of. And obviously, I only wear it on occasion.

Mostly, I let my deodorant do the talking, or non-smelling, as the case may be.

Favorite smell? Rubbing my hands through my Rosemary plants. I have lavender planted as well, but frankly...hate the scent, but like the blooms.

[mimitabby]

ah, my favorite scent is wild sagebrush... in the Idaho desert, when it rains
this is what you smell for miles...

[KnottedYet]

Yeah, love that sagebrush smell in eastern WA.

I like the Bulgari Green Tea scent also - it's the only perfume I've ever smelled that I actually like, and the one I've ever bought. (I even wear it sometimes!)

I absolutely HATE the smell of perfumes or any scented products. I smell the toilet paper at the store before I buy it. Some shampoos make my sinuses hurt. But, I love the smell of bike grease, and even WD-40. Maybe it's what I associate with those smells.
