[Closed] Smelling good or otherwise

I agree with you Kay as it is applied with a purpose for the feel good factor.

Kay -

I also started switching over to more feminine products or close to feminine.   I have a skin care regimen I follow as well - Oil of Olay with sunblock  on my face and neck and Lubriderm lotion on the rest of my body.  It feels so nice having smoother skin.  I haven't ventured into eau de toilette or perfume as of yet.  I've also switched my deoderant to a more androgynous scent.  Want to go feminine  but not sure how it would be accepted by my wife.  Still doing baby steps with her, but it si getting better.

Hi Ladies,

Nice post

I do moisturize Daily  and I use a feminine deodorant but I save my perfume for when I en femme .

maybe I should use it in drab mode I hadn't considered that as I hate to waste such pretty smells.LOL

Well I wear women’s deodorant daily and perfume whenever I’m dressed and as of late I’m wearing perfume a lot more while in male mode other then at work.

On the perfume subject, I use ck woman. I was a bit uncertain in male mode at first but early on a visiting female friend complimented me on my aftershave. She didn't believe me when I said what it actually was.

As for other products, no one seems to have notices and not one person commented.

Go for it girls 👍

Except for Bath Soap ( I am using up what stock I had of regular Bar soap) and my shaving cream, I use feminine lotions and shampoo. Should have had a choice for 50/50.

I have never tried any gels or other moisturizing products. You all have now given me the idea of trying some. As to perfume, I love smelling good and the smells soothe and calm me. I don't understand it but I'm glad to have that tool in my tool box. I live alone so my house almost always smells heavenly. I often wear small amounts in drab to just please myself and help with the anxiety at hand-a meeting, large crowd, shopping at the local food store, etc. No one ever looks or mentions it but it is a small amount. I absolutely love walking by women who smell heavenly. Even that can have a calming effect for me.

I remember when I started I thought what a hassle, but now it's my favorite part of "the routine". it just feels good.

I voted "depends" but it's not very accurate. I love perfume but I'm sensitive to fragrances so I have to be pretty intentional about them. I use unscented deodorants and skin care, and have to be super careful with hair care products, but my wife has a number of scents in her huge collection that I love and are kind to me. They're almost all fairly unisex, but I find I'm mostly unscented en drab. When my wife travels for work, I often wear her regular fragrance to feel closer to her regardless of how I'm dressed. If anyone has ever noticed, they didn't say anything but then I feel like if they can smell me and they're further away than arms length, I'm using too much, anyway.

My fragrances are kinda all over the map; for soap I buy whatever is moderately cheap.  So it smells rather generic and unisex.

However, as for perfumes, I have a huge collection, and all of it is marketed towards women.

I spritz perfume regardless of whether i am in drab or femme; and some of my faves are :

midnight fantasy - britney spears

pretty much anything from ariana grande

I have some out of print rare ish perfumes, incredible things - taylor swift and taylor - taylor swift.

Hi Kay,  I'm like Nikki,  I'm incredibly sensitive to scents to the point that I have to leave the area if I encounter them.  It's even worse now that I lost all my taste and smell due to a Covid bout a few months ago.  I'm scent blind.   I don't even detect slight scents but my body reacts with an allergic reaction when I'm in their midst.  Not fun and sometimes even dangerous.  My wife has to tell me if I'm in an iffy situation.   Marg

Have a bathroom full of lotions and creams not to mention lots of perfumes over the years. If one were to see my bathroom they would know a woman lives here lol. Anyway I love the fragrance and wear it while en femme and some occasionally in male mode since I use them for my enjoyment and dont care what others think

I use predominately unscented or at most mildly, generic scents, except when dressed, they a lovely perfume is in order.

...and yes, moisturizer is a must especially as we get older and lose some of our nature skin tone. I wish I did more often when younger, but I did a fair amount of moisturizing, (just not as much as I should have,) when younger. I am in the sun a lot due to my many outdoor activities and living in a very sunny climate. Sun is hard on your skin, and my 65 years in the sun is showing.

Yes JJ - wish I had taken better care of skin when I young and dumb. The sun spots are showing in my 60's. Now I have to play catch up
