This is gonna be super weird but whatever...

What would each member from Van Halen smell like to you? And it can be weirdly specific too 😂

I don't know if it's just me, but like every time I become infatuated with a band I always picture what each member smells like, sometimes it's good and sometimes it's bad 😬

BELOVED, trust me when I tell you I've put thought into this topic before, and it half the time has been anything but positive 😩☠️

I don't really find it as taboo as some find it to flat out talk about how the majority of bands probably stunk frequently, because if you think about it...you aren't really going to smell well spending two hours sweating on stage, getting piss-faced drunk and then passing out most likely without showering are you...😭

Anyway, this time we'll talk in the sense of "on a regular day".

I feel like David....smelled, somewhat like those dollar store fruit glosses. You know that faint fruit-like smell that you can't pinpoint exactly which...but you just know it's fruit? That, but triple it, and add some brightly musk cologne. He SOOOOO gives "everyone has to smell me" , so I definitely don't think he was shy with the amount ☠️

I'm correlating him with more fruit and not floral, floral just doesn't seem him. I feel a bit deranged for saying that so confidently but 🤣🧠🤣

Alexander gives me...😩, Alexander gives me cuddled up by the fire type of woody smell. Like a very comforting, notes of earlgrey wood smell. His demeanor really doesn't give off "I want everyone around me to smell me", so woody earlgrey seems fitting because it's low-key but still amazing.

(lmaoo you're probably like GEE WE SEE WHAT YOU SIT AROUND IN YOUR FREE TIME THINKING ABOUT 😭😭😭☠️)

Michael seems to me like a straight up, real sort of seabreeze type of guy. Not that synthetic seabreeze that you smell on a car freshener, but like...fresh limey salt bergamot. A sea of citrus 😩. I wouldn't see it being super bright though, definitely on the warmer muskier side.

EDWARD gives me powdery 😭‼️ powdery florals....maybe a nice powdery jasmine musk 🤩 once again not bright, warm and subtle but very much there.

You're probably going wtf keefsteef who gave you the all knowing iknowwhatvanhalensmellslike-oracle, and I'll admit to you this is probably just 80% what I want them to smell like ☠️☠️☠️

I was gonna include Samuel and Gareth but I need to think about that more, I'll get back to you in a future post ... Thanks for the ask ❤️
