What do you smell of?

Following on from that thread on what we think celebs smell like...

I smell of Persil laundry detergent, Lush shower gel (at the moment Olive Branch, which is my favourite), Sure 'Clean scent' antiperspirant, hint-of-garlic (I really overuse it in cooking, and dry my clothes on an airer in the kitchen!), strawberry lipbalm, and henna, which I condition my hair with every few weeks. Maybe also a little bit of dog, but I don't notice that about myself!

I hope that's not too outing!! What about you?

Sweat and cake.

Pregnancy farts & Ben and Jerry's.

At this exact moment in time - hair dye as it’s on my head waiting to develop.

Generally, baby sick, breast milk and Sure bright bouquet deodorant.

I love how we're all just as ruthless with ourselves as we were with the celebs!!

DinosApple · 22/07/2019 21:05

Sweat and rubber!

Dog, damp and despair. If I ever have my own home again I shall smell of orange blossom and gratitude.

The shower gel, shampoo et al they give you at Disney's Grand Californian, H20+ Sea Salt collection. Wish they made a cologne or a body spritz.

Provence (my Ben and Anna's deodorant I put on about 10 mins ago), goats milk soap and cats (I'm currently being honoured by one on my lap and one on my shoulder)

Wombleish · 22/07/2019 21:19

I smell of invisibility and remote disinterest.

Camomila · 22/07/2019 21:26

I just smelled my arm. It smells vaguely sweet/chocolatey/flowery.
It's probably a mix of shower gel and the chocolate i've been eating.
DS (3) always tells me I smell like flowers Smile

DS also smells freshly showered atm.

DH isn't here atm but probably smells horrible - since I've been pregnant I haven't been able to hug him Sad He smells all Londony and pollutiony. When I'm not pg I always associate him with the smell of a freshly washed jumper lol.

Benjispruce · 22/07/2019 21:40

Now freshly showered and in fresh PJ vest and shorts so hopefully I smell clean.

ThomasFurious · 22/07/2019 21:45

In this weather? I hate to think. Sweat, dogs and hopefully lingering perfume.

FenellaMaxwell · 22/07/2019 21:48

Lush lemon shampoo bar, childs farm moisturiser from putting it on DS after his bath, white wine, bacon and Clarins Eau des Jardins.

MrsIronfoundersson · 22/07/2019 21:48

Horse is the best smell in the world! I used to lie forward to smell their necks, or just hug them after their saddle came off. Mmmmmm

HairyDogsInUnusualPlaces · 22/07/2019 21:53

I smell of disillusionment and crushed dreams, overlaid by today's sweat.

Sarahlou63 · 22/07/2019 22:01

Cigarettes, fresh sweat, sunshine, hay, dogs and wine.

NomDeQwerty · 22/07/2019 22:02

Oyster Bay and despair.

Lindormilk · 22/07/2019 22:04

NEXT flowers perfume.

chachaboom · 22/07/2019 22:05

This thread is really funny, and weirdly interesting.
I smell of deodorant and cava.

mushroomwall · 22/07/2019 22:06

I never smell of the good stuff I use, only the displeasing natural odours after a hard day. If only perfumiers could mimic the performance of the natural oils of pit and crack

vampirethriller · 22/07/2019 22:12

Usually knock-off Fracas and Tresemme with a hint of whatever the baby had to eat.

DogbertDogglesworth · 22/07/2019 22:25

Dog slobber and toothpaste ( just finished brushing dogs teeth )
Although you probably can't smell me due to the air biscuits wafting from the dogs arse! 😷

WoollyMummoth · 22/07/2019 22:26

Suntan lotion and Bombay mix

BobTheFishermansWife · 22/07/2019 22:33

Lime original source body wash, herbal essences honey and coconut shampoo and breast milk

Miljah · 22/07/2019 22:51

Despite a shower (with Asda's finest gel); slight hint of chlorine? But I am sitting in the conservatory next to a window, without, sits the chavtastic blow up hot tub I was in an hour ago! 😊
