That's what I love about this hobby. It is an endless, almost inifinite quest. Things can seem boring for a bit and then bam, you smell something, a combination, that you have never smelled before and your excitement is renewed. It is like the unobtainable; a never to be completed game. I love that 🥰

yes, that! it is much bigger and wider than just "what pleasant perfume to buy", and there seems to be nearly infinite pockets of knowledge and people you can keep discovering!

I use a salt stick (Salt of the Earth) after my shower at night. Absolute game changer. And I love that it is unscented and does not interfere with the scents I wear

thank you for sharing! A lot of people don't know about salt sticks - and they are simple and quite useful!

Ooh I have a good one for Smells Like Teen Spirit. Scorpio Rising by Eris. The moment I smelled it, it took me back to the scent of my first boyfriend in the 90s 😂
@MariaMelioraАй бұрын
oh wow, what does it smell like?
@ems_h.eartnotesАй бұрын
@@MariaMeliora like a semi sweet but ozonic, spicy, woody scent. Like one of those 90s men's body sprays that all the teen boys wore back then. I think it may have been Lynx Africa (is it called Axe in the US?) The Eris one is of course more upscale but gave me that same feel

I've been unsuccessfully trying to encourage people to do their homework on sweat since the early 2000s. 😄 But it's tricky to overcome deeply seated and continually advertised misconceptions. Unfortunately, once those chemicals become absorbed by clothing, no amount of ventilation, time or wishing will get them out. They need to be washed, otherwise you risk contaminating an otherwise clean body, especially when it warms up. Not sure I'd go so far as to insinuate that powerful [non-toxic] smells lead to receptor "death" though. Transient desensitization certainly and perhaps even a degree of masking if mucosal congestion follows (both forms of dysosmia), but actual damage to olfactive cells, their membranes or associated nerve pathways is rare and oftentimes the result of disease processes, inhaling/ingesting known toxins, caustic materials or infections pathogens. Lengthy power-sniffing sessions of pure ethanol or isopropanol might do it; but perfumes...not likely. Thank you for advocating not overwhelming people with your fragrance though Maria. I feel like popular cultural fads (not to mention seeking attention) can sometimes overcome basic courtesy. Barring the use of elemental rationality, I really wish people would take advantage of their transpersonal and transtemporal perceptions more often. It isn't difficult to project a part of ourselves 'ahead' of any situation to get a feel for the outcome of present decisions, all within the span of a few seconds. With enough practice, it's a habit that can even save our lives. Loved the vid. Here's to those pleasurable Cool hwhiffs! 😂

What questions about smell do you have burning on the back of your mind?

Мария, хочу рассказать прикол из моей парфюмерной жизни. Я плохо понимаю английский но про парфюм смотрю и слушаю иногда на английском. Несколько дней назад я вернулась из Португалии где я была со своим взрослым сыном который сводно говорит на английском. Везде он со всеми общался а если ко мне обращались по английски то я мычала как собака " му-му" и звала на помощь помощь сына. Но вот мы проходили мимо очень классного бутика парфюмерии и я обязана была его посетить. Сын сказал " ради Бога, можешь там провести хоть пол дня, но без меня". Я конечно же пошла и как то разобралась с консультантами. Выходя, я рассказываю сыну что там было, сколько это стоит..., а он у меня спрашивает на каком языке я общалась. Я отвечаю: на английском. На что он мне говорит: " так получается ты говоришь на английском! Может уже перестанешь прикидываться инвалидом и будешь сама общаться с людьми ?"... Пришлось объяснять что я могу разбираться только в парфюмерии, мой английский он настроен на эту тему и не больше. Я также рассказала что смотрю и слушаю активно видео на английском только если они парфюмерные. Так что вот как бывает... Сын скептически относятся, но сказал что он и этому рад, лишь бы ему не надо было со мной там находится
