Best Perfume for a Woman

Random observation: the very sexiest perfume a woman can use is a shower with soap and water and nothing else.

You guys smell much better that way than you do layering alll that perfume and powder stuff on. You really do.

Or then again, the odor of sweat can be a turn-on, too. Remember Napoleon's message to Josephine: "Home in three days— don't wash."

The scent of freshly-scrubbed horny woman, to my nose at least, is the best perfume.

Amen to that, brothers and sisters!

The coolest thing about doing that is when a guy says to you 'you smell great, what are you wearing?' and you can say 'nothing' with a smile.

Clearly, sir, you have impeccable taste. A freshly-showered woman, hair still wet, is the finest thing God ever put on this earth.

That, and NFL football.

Perfumes choke, scented soaps make one itch if skin is sensitive, not to mention that many of those scents affect others most negatively.

Also - ladies... keep in mind that it's not unusual for the olfactory senses to diminish a bit with age. So even though you THINK you have just the right amount of perfume on, you're gagging the rest of us. More is NOT better. If you're not sure, ask someone point-blank. They'll tell you.

She wore just a touch of Youth Dew for the wedding. It still does something for me.

I have a really acute sense of smell. Funk really bothers me and I will tell you if you stink.

OTOH, I ALWAYS smell good. I know that because not a day goes by without somebody telling me that I do. That and I have borderline neurotic hygiene habits. :-)

I don't know. I went shopping with a friend, whom I'll call John to protect the seriously odd, and when we reached the shampoo aisle he downright *demanded* that I buy the vanilla-scented kind. Went on for about five minutes, was completely adamant that vanilla-scented shampoo in a woman's hair was heaven on earth...

I guess it just depends on personal preference. My friend Hana, for example, practically starts drooling whenever Aragorn appears on the screen in The Lord of the Rings movies. I, personally, think it's pretty gross how he obviously hasn't bathed or washed his hair in weeks, and is drenched in sweat and orc guts, but it really turns her on. I don't get it. BO really doesn't do it for me.

My wife still doesn't get it when I swoon when she's fresh out of the shower and completely unmade-up.

My kids once asked me what my favorite color is. After thinking for a moment, I replied it's the color of their mother's red hair.

I'd like to mention that the same applies to men...

I love perfumes, but I also love a woman who doesn't need them to smell sexy. And a beautiful face is all the make-up a woman ever needs, in my opinion.

Anyway...

HAIL TO THE QUEEN OF ALL EVIL!!!! HAIL TO THE QUEEN OF ALL GOOD!!!! HAIL TO THE QUEEN OF ALL!!!! AND HAIL TO THE KING!!!!



A freshly-showered woman, hair still wet, is the finest thing God ever put on this earth.

I'll drink to that.
