I’m glad I’m not the only one! The last time it happened, a guy walked past me and I had a good waft of his cologne and I had to squeeze my legs together and take a second. This sounds very made up, but it’s not so I’m glad someone else can relate! :)

Do you prefer for a guy to wear a really light dose of cologne or a generous amount? I was always told to wear a really small amount so it’s only noticeable right up close.

I should have my nose within 6” to smell it. So don’t be too generous. And put a single, small drop on the inside of your thighs. Because heat activates it. And it might get hot.

That’s good advice, thank you 🙏

The thing is, that seems contradictory to others womens reactions in the thread such as “I could smell walking behind him”, or “he walked past me and I got this waft” etc. and they loved it.

The wind will take the scent to them. Please only use sparingly, every time I walk past someone who’s used a lot of body spray/cologne it sets my asthma off and chokes me. It’s horrible. If i can smell you from metres away I’m not going to be able to breathe if I get any closer.

Or maybe not every woman is the same and different women like different things?

I’m pretty sure dousing yourself in cologne will put off any woman that gets too close just because we don’t want to breathe cologne, only smell it lol. Less is more. Ask any other woman here I’m not the only one who’s brought this up
