The nose is, in my opinion, the most powerful sense of the five that humans have. Our sense of smell can bring back memories, create physical/chemical reactions in our body, and increase the taste we experience when we eat something. You know that expression, "It smells so good, I can taste it." Well it is based on fact. I personally rely on my "sniffer" a lot. Smells, the right ones anyway, can give me a feeling of confidence, sensualness, sexiness, and make me feel better about myself and life. My favorite scent in my entire collection of perfumes, body sprays, lotions, body washes, shampoos, and candles is Modern Muse by Estee' Lauder. The feeling I get from it is re-enforced when people tell me that everytime they come near me, they breathe in deeply because I smell incredible. Girls ask me what the scent I'm wearing is, and guys take a big whiff. Some people like to have a signature scent, one they are known by, but I say that each situation or destination or outing requires a certain attitude and feeling within yourself, and therefore a different scent. While I say there is no such thing as being obsessed with amazing smells, there is such a thing as too much scent.
Too much perfume or body mist can be a turn off as it is overpowering and overwhelming. A guy or girl should only put just enough on to create a light aura around him/her. For guys, you know you have a good scent when the girl smells it and scoots or leans slightly closer to you. For ladies, you know you have a right scent when it makes you stand taller, prouder, and creates more confidence in you.
So those of you who are such scent fanatics that you spray a small squirt of calming body mist over yourself every night before you get into bed, I say that is not overboard but a good thing to do. Whatever the case, everyone who isn't a scent fanatic should become one, in my opinion at least.
