I like the way putting on perfume makes me feel - like I am preparing for battle in a way. Or at least, preparing to smell perfumey if someone is close enough. My Mother shared with me about the way spritzing on her Halston made her feel - basically is was when she was feeling most loving toward herself, most accepting, most deserving of love. It's a declaration "I deserve to smell this good" and also a declaration to a potential lover "You deserve for me to smell this good." I find it arousing to have a potential lover (sub, whatever...) wear a scent or otherwise smell like soap or shaving cream or shampoo or something that says "I have prepared my body for you." It's flattering really.
The Boy has weird BO, and sweat that doesn't wash out of anything, and it may be kind of gross to describe, but I love his funny funk. It's not really an ugly smell - just obviously a body smell. I like when he is all clean and pink and soft haired when he comes to bed after his shower, but I also like the way he smells right off of work. Before he came to live with me, I kept one of his gunky t-shirts in the bed with me, and loved how it made my heart feel when I smelled him and missed him.
