I am loving the topic... "What are your favorite scents and why?" I am quite obsessed with scent and how it reminds you of things... Scent triggers emotion and memory... It also helps with mood and of course just smells damn good ;)
I am going to focus first on scents from the environment/food before artifical scents...
1. Horse type smell
For me, I grew up being a horse rider so naturally the smell of horses and even horse poop makes me feel incredibly nostalgic and makes me long to get on a horse again! Sadly I gave up horses altogether around age 15 due to financial and time commitments plus I had alot of accidents and a near death experience so that also knocked my confidence bad... But yes, the smell is so nice... Makes me think of the freedom.
2. Coconut!
Being the kind of girl who LOVES summer time, coconut reminds me of the beach and makes me feel happy and summery. And instant mood lift! I love to use coconut oil at home on my face and body, in smoothies, cooking, baking, everything! So many benefits...
3. Cinnamon!
Cinnamon is quite a festive/winter scent but it's also got a spicey tone and reminds me of comfort and warmth...
4. Dior - Fahrenheit. I love this scent on guys and although a few exs have worn it in the past I still adore it... It's so lusty and everytime I get a whiff of some guy wearing it on even the London Underground it makes me weak at the knees!!
5. Gucci - Flora. One of my personal favourite perfumes. It's feminine and pretty.
6. Dior - Poison. A very femme fatale scent. An excellent one for feeling in a dominant powerful mood ;)
7. LATEX!!! The aroma of latex clothing is just SO hot and sexy. I love the smell of the liquid silicone I use to buff it up with too... It's an instant turn on and very powerful... It always brings back memories and feelings from past good times ;) yummy!
8. Coffee <3 Of course I just had to mention my love of coffee hey! Smelling my Nespresso machine pumping out a coffee in the morning is just the kinda wake up I need :) earthy and divine.
9. Antibacteria/Disinfectant: A bizzare one but seeing as I have a medical fetish and have to clean BDSM toys often this one always brings back a ton of bizarre memories and feelings... Mostly good sexy memories though and although it's very clinical it also has a therapeutic kind of side to it..
10. Argan Oil... Such a distinctive smell if it's pure :) I love the texture too... Putting it on my hair is so soothing and the aroma when I pass my straighteners over it is just bliss!
