Default The power of scent

I'm on the scent side.... Scent to me is like songs to some people. I smell a scent and I remember a person, place or time. I as a young girl would put my favorite men's cologne on a scarf and smell it during the day. Then... It was Jade East or English Leather. Oh.... How I loved those smells.

I've heard of women who when their husband died would keep their clothes and fragrances so they wouldn't forget them.

I have a scent I have worn for years. My husband loves it and I get many compliments on it. My husband says when he smells it.... he thinks of me. You know what....It's the reason I don't switch around. And.... I love to snuggle up to my husbands neck and smell the scent he wears.

There has only been one person in my life that had a strong scent. Her fragrance was very strong. But I never told her and still wouldn't. She was a lovely lady and maybe her husband loved her fragrance as much as my husband does mine.

There is something to be said for smells. I would rather smell a nice scent then a body odor or bad breath.... But it seems the scent of a fragrance is more annoying. I feel bad there are so many people affected by this. I will continue to wear my fragrance and I guess the people it bothers will just have to not be in my life. The people who care... Won't care.
