Those of you who get complemented on their scent, what products do you use?

Sawdust, machine oil, and metal filings. Shit you not.

I use dove sensitive skin soap and herbal essences rose shampoo and conditioner. I use regular men's speed stick for deoderant. Basic unscented lubriderm moisturizer. Basic crest shampoo. Tide clothing detergent as i imagine that infleucnes how

I think there's a big element where some people find each other's smell attractive, and that can differ a good bit from person to person. I mostly don't use any strong smells.

It's a knockoff of some much more expensive cologne I haven't smelled. I don't like generic masculine colognes. This one is like jasmine layered with lavender, sandalwood, and orange blossoms. Wonderful smell if you don't overapply it, the best cologne I've found. When doing laundry I dry it alongside a wool ball that I've sprinkled with lilac essential oil.

I swear I'm not making this up like a month ago my physical therapist asked me about the new cologne I'm wearing. I told him I didn't use any and he kind of persisted he was like no, it smells really good and I'm like I dunno dude. "Are you sure?" "Yes, I'm sure I'm not wearing cologne." I don't have a sense of smell since catching covid in 2020 so I had no clue. Then he was like "oh, I forgot I put a scented candle down over here, I didn't think it would be so strong when it's not lit". He clearly felt really awkward and I didn't want to laugh too much to make him feel worse but what the hell dude.

I'm partial to vanilla+lavender or snickerdoodle scents, I have some homemade rollers for both of them. However the thing that really made people start complementing my scent was switching from cigarettes to cinnamon flavored nicotine pouches. Apparently they made me smell really strongly of cinnamon

Acqua di parma cologne and Marseille soap. I like to smell like an old Italian man

Ode de owl. I got a connection that flies over me and pisses.

whenever i use one of those homemade bars of soap with sandalwood, i get compliments. i think mostly because the subtlety of the mixed soap and oil, it can be hard to place for people used to the typical deodorants and soaps. i have heard that traditionally socialized dudes are attracted to wood oils (i.e. cedar) and traditionally socialized women are attracted to florals, like as a foundational memory trigger sort of thing, for whatever that's worth. i used to dabble with various essential oils sometimes to test that when i was trying to eff, but haven't in a long time. i think scents work best when it's at the edge of perception, like the person detecting it doesn't recognize its happening until their mind already went somewhere.

In the past I used nag champa incense and hotboxed dank weeds in my room, that plus old spice pure sport deodorant and various fruity cheap shampoos. People would tell me I smelled great but they were usually stoners.

Currently messing around with floral attars, so far I'm really liking 3x jasmine, 1x Ylang Ylang and 1x rose oil.

usually an unscented body wash (for the fall though, i’ve been using a bath and body works pumpkin cake scented body wash. the unscented soap is good for making sure there isn’t too many scents going on and i’ve been healing several tattoos at the same time currently so i just use unscented all over). a body lotion after showering can be really nice too and will last a while. secret clinical strength gel deodorant, and a little fragrance mist or perfume. in the warmer months i use a floral one, hummingbird by the zoologist (expensive indie fragrance so i just live off samples), and in the colder months, a cheap vanilla bourbon body mist from target.

Light blue by Dolce Gabbana

Cheap stuff - bath and body works canyon body spray, degree fresh deodorant, hugo body spray by hugo boss if I want something a little heavier scented

Expensive stuff - Night Vision and Spice Bomb by Viktor and Rolf and Tom Ford Fucking Fabulous

Amika soulfood nourishing mask as a conditioner, the orange tub. I always get compliments. Before that it was herbal essences color me happy shampoo and conditioner, that also got tons of complements. I don't even have dyed hair which it's for, I just like the scent.

I usually don't but some conditioners smell p nice and I got complimented last week after using this : "Pantene Pro-V Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner"

Also lavender soap/body wash is my jam but not sure anyone's ever commented on it
