Anyone else love, love, love how their partner smells? I think my DH smells delicious, like a "meadow." I smell his skin and I feel like I am coming home. It is fresh like a summer's day outside. I even like sniffing his armpite. Please tell me I am not the only one!!!

Even after 45 years my DH still smells good enough to eat.I've just had a crafty sniff as he's fast asleep next to me. :)

Smells are a big part of long term pair bonding. Fact.

McFox · 22/06/2014 06:53

Yes, my DH smells like home too Smile

FolkGirl · 22/06/2014 06:55

Me, too.

Actually, I didn't like my exH's smell. Ever. I often felt repelled by his smell. Even when he was clean. I just ignored it. I shouldn't have!

However, my boyfriend; well I love his smell. I feel I could just inhale him all the time we're together. His hair smells delicious, his skin smells delicious. I also love the smell of his armpits... Blush He just smells like a gorgeous man to me, even when he could do with a shower...

He told me earlier this week that the way I smell is one of the things he loves about me!

Perhaps this bodes well then... Grin

I love DP's smell, I nuzzle in and breathe him in! He smells like home, I'm often sniffing him. He says the same about me, he always sniffs me after a long day at work Grin

redundantandbitter · 22/06/2014 08:44

I loved my ex's smell. Would bury my head in his armpit He thought I was bonkers when I asked him
Not to shower , it's the thing I miss the most . Sad

My dcs father smells rank. Like ammonia . When he drops the kids off I hold my breath. Urgh

FolkGirl · 22/06/2014 08:49

redundant My exH always smelt of lamb. I can't even explain it. He didn't eat lamb. Hmm

It was horrible Sad

If I'm at my boyfriend's and he goes to shower, I always get in an kiss inhale beforehand.

youmakemydreams · 22/06/2014 08:54

Yep love the smell of dp. He was away for a week last week and when he came back he didn't smell completely right because he'd been staying in a hotel and in a different place. Once he'd been home for less than am hour he smelled right again. I love snuggling up to him when he's been working on the car or out on his bike.

redundantandbitter · 22/06/2014 09:06

Nice, folk

Tell me Its possible to find that 'smell feeling' again

FolkGirl · 22/06/2014 09:38

Well I have Wink

And it had been so long I'd almost forgotten about it...

And then, there it was...

redundantandbitter · 22/06/2014 09:50

That's good to hear.

I've got a bottle of my ex's aftershave that I smell from time to time. Does that sound loony. ?

readrunraverelax · 22/06/2014 15:14

Glad other gals like smelling their partners. Maybe single girls out there should hold out until the smell of their dreams comes along. That is interesting about him smelling different after he has been away from home. I must investigate that. When my DH has not had a shower yet or has been sweaty due to gardening it smells sexy!!

The children smell different as well if they have been staying at my patents for the night. Back in the house for a while and they smell all back to normal.

Dp did look a bit Hmm when he hugged me and I said he didn't smell right. He always likes my smell too and more so when I'm not wearing perfume.

heyho1985 · 22/06/2014 20:37

My bf smells like marmite and I hate marmite Sad

BeforeAndAfter · 22/06/2014 20:58

All of the men in my life have always had a good natural smell; it's one of my requirements. They didn't share the same scent but one inhalation and I'd know if they were a possibility. As it happens I'm not a fan of aftershave and I tend to avoid overly perfumed men. My recent ex smelt divine and he never wore deodorant; he was the sexiest man I've ever known (not pungent stinky though).

Strangely enough the change of smell was one of the reasons I first suspected my XH was having an affair. It got to the point where he'd shower to hide her smell on him. So if I could smell her on him (i.e. a different 'human' smell or violets) or smell shower gel I knew he'd been with her...

turdfairynomore · 22/06/2014 21:12

My dad smells of wood shavings-he was a joiner. That smell makes me feel safe, happy, at home. My stbxh just had a smell! End of!!

ThePinkOcelot · 22/06/2014 22:53

Am I the only person who hasn't come across this?

Seth · 22/06/2014 23:16

Yes completely on this! Split up from ex H about 4 years ago and didn't feel anything about his smell. Fine,clean whatever but nothing that drew me in. DP however ..wow.

The feeling of coming home ...mixed together with how strong the attraction there is to his smell is so strong.have never experienced it with any man before so it feels extreme.( is not a new relationship? )

Funny someone else mentioned their DCs .mine love it..I can see a real calmness and love when my DDs his on his chest.

Branleuse · 22/06/2014 23:17

its my favourite smell

gamerchick · 22/06/2014 23:21

I love the MRs smell, especially when he comes in from work. Big hug and sniff, I call it the 'you smell like maaaan'. It is very comforting have to agree.

If only you could bottle pheromones Grin

MargotLovedTom · 22/06/2014 23:36

My DH smells of fags, so maybe not Hmm Grin.

Boudica1990 · 22/06/2014 23:41

I do, he is away right now so I tend to snuggle up to his dirty t-shirt that I have Blush I hug it if I get upset or like last night when I was crying. My DP smell is so comforting to me, it is home for me it's where I feel safe and I miss him so much when he is not here.

DustBunnyFarmer · 22/06/2014 23:43

My H smells like fresh bread in a wholesome way when we make up in the morning. I like the way he smells.
