Scent vs Smell or You Stink!

Comment: Okay, maybe I have a sensitive nose or perhaps lifelong chest problems have led to my intolerance of strong and even specific scents, the latest having become the smell of vinegar!
On the plus side, I love certain scents, a woman 'blooding' for one, yes, I am one of those men that will deeply inhale whilst in the presence of a woman, I'd go so far as to admit to 'smelling' almost in a canine fashion, my partners with mixed reactions it must be said too.
From a personal perspective Freja, the prerequisite for cleanliness aside, do you prefer your clients to have a neutral smell rather than be anointed or worse still, in my opinion, liberally camouflaged with some aerosol or other?
Yes, I agree, rarely though, some manufactured fragrances enhance our bodies but generally have people become automated in their routine of masking their own personal scent? 


Another personal preference question :) 

This is actually mentioned in the faq and etiquette page. I prefer my clients to be freshly washed, period. I am very sensitive to scents of all sorts. There are some colognes or soap and bodywash fragrances that smell lovely to me and are a pleasure to detect, but my own preference is for there to be a hint of fragrance rather than for me to be overwhelmed with it. It's a serious turn off and irritant to have my nose in strong or fresh sprayed cologne. ... in the massage room just be clean please! I request that a client be freshly washed for massage, but I can tell you, I've come across so many ripe odours in my studio  that I truly do not think that people realize how unclean their bums are. While I'm not sticking my hand or nose in anyone's crevice, I am working above their backside and on their glutes and legs and the smell of excrement is truly sickening. Which leads to the digression: the quality of toilet paper in this country is appalling. Cleanliness and my own comfort aside, I do think people have become routine in masking and are actually afraid of their own scent. The thing is, our scents are there for a reason, they tell you so much: health genetic and sexual compatibility, a woman's personal scent changes throughout her cycle, the smell of sexual arousal, or fear. I love the smell of man. It's a pleasure to me to nuzzle up to his neck and inhale and get that warm masculine mix including not only the neck and shoulder, but some of the scent from the scalp with a faint hint of whatever aftershave or wash he used earlier that day. Being able to smell him is a physical turn on to me. Having my nose blasted with chemicals is not only unpleasant, but it forces me to keep my nose and face away from him and is a turn off. You're not the first person who has expressed his love of the female scent........ I've been sniffed to a degree that would be embarrassing, If I did not enjoy being enjoyed.  Personal scent is a powerful mode of communication.
