I was just googling around to see if there's any perfumes that smell like artificial cherry bc 1. I've been wanting to be a Perfume Person for a while now. Like get into wearing scents and stuff. & 2. I used my dry shampoo that smells like cherries and I love it so much... Anyways ppl online were saying that if you want artificial cherry smell you're probably better off with body spray, so I looked that up and it's a lot cheaper? So like, jackpot for me! Now I'm contemplating buying some 🍒

Question for you: Do you wear perfumes/etc? And even if not, what's a smell you really like?

i don't wear perfumes or generally use scented body products, i both have shitty sensitive skin and am easily prone to headaches, so i tend to avoid strong scents and skin contact with fragrances when i can because they can be a migraine and/or skin rash trigger for me :( like i'll use a lightly scented deodorant on my underarms but other than that i don't use any products on my skin or clothes or hair or whatever for the purpose of Scent. i'll occasionally light a scented candle in my apartment if like i just took the trash out and it's a little smelly but i don't burn it for very long otherwise i give myself a headache. i've been very slowly burning through an apple scented candle from trader joes for like a year and a half at this point lol

i do enjoy a good scent though...the kind of artificial fragrances added to candles and perfumes and stuff are too strong for me but i love a good natural scent. the inside of a bakery/cafe is a great smell. all that pastry crust and ground coffee. baking smells are almost always amazing tbh just like baking bread or muffins or cookies, top tier scents. warming winter spices like cinnamon and clove are wonderful, and especially cardamom, i love the fragrance of cardamom so much i always throw a few pods into my hot cocoa. and roasting chicken. smells like home!!

#ask meme #sleepover saturday #sasha answers #anon #ty!#artificial cherry is a good scent/flavor. i support you wholeheartedly #natural cherry is also good of course i love cherries. i can't wait for cherry season again this summer #also ig maybe my being a musician has a little bit to do with why i don't wear fragrances?#like having hours long rehearsals sitting very close to a bunch of other people for orchestra or choir #and in most ensembles i've worked with it's its own part of the concert dress code to not wear strong perfumes or colognes #like light deodorant/antiperspirant is fine and even encouraged but strong fragrances are Not #bc of how it might negatively affect people in close quarters with you #and as a sufferer of strong scents myself i have come to very much appreciate that rule!!#mentioned it in the tags of my previous post but there's at least one store in my neighborhood i like. physically can't be in for very long #bc they've always got incense or some kind of room fragrance thing going #and it's so strong it WILL trigger a migraine for me :/#i'm glad other people can enjoy it though. have fun etc #(unless you're my old roommates who refused to snuff out their scented candles in the room my working desk was set up in #While I Was Working. even after i had requested it be extinguished because i was getting a migraine. fuck them lol)
