Do people ever tell you that you smell good?

I feel like this is somewhat of an odd compliment, and yet I get it a lot.

So I'm wondering if a lot of people get this compliment, or if I really smell amazing (from the ankles up).

Brought to you by the custodian at the school yesterday.

Re: Do people ever tell you that you smell good?

  • I always wear perfume, so I'm taking the compliment based on my perfume choice.  I don't think it's odd. 
  • Sometimes, but mostly people I know, not strangers.
  • Yes.  And often times it's because of my hairspray more so than perfume!

  • WHen I wore perfume I heard that.  Recently I switched shampoos and hairspray and that got me a few 'you smell goods'.

  • Sometimes.  But then I wonder... how strong do I smell?

  • Not really.  Sometimes people will pass my office and ask me what smells good, and it turns out that its lotion I've just put on.  But they never say I smell good, just ask what smells good.  Maybe that says something about me.  (Quick sniff test.)  I think I smell okay.
  • Yes. I do hear this.

     

    Also, I can verify that you DO smell good.

    So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

  • No, but I do ask women who smell pretty what perfume they have on.

    I don't care if it's weird. I like pretty perfume.

    Not really, because I don't (read: can't) wear perfume.

    However, if someone gets close enough, they do compliment me on how good my hair smells.

    I like privacy. A lot.
  • Yes, when I wear perfume. 

    Ages ago this guy I used to work with would always, always tell me I smelled good. He was hot so I let him do it.

    Always be yourself. Unless you suck.
  • I wouldn't think it as weird.

    Are you wearing perfume when you get this compliment LTP?  If so, what kind?

  • Yes.  I get this a lot when I wear my usual perfume.

  • Yes, I get that sometimes (from people other than my husband). Usually when I have new shampoo.

    I also tell other people when they smell good.

  • Yes! And I love it.

    I also give this compliment to people on a regular basis, hah!

  • I get this a lot. I think it's either my shampoo or my body wash, because I don't wear perfume.

    I don't think it's a weird compliment. I say it to other people too.

  • Ok so it's not a weird compliment. It feels slightly intimate to me so I wasn't sure if it was considered a regular compliment, e.g. your hair is shiny or I like your shirt.

    I shampoo with TresSemme and I wear Givenchy perfume, currently Very Irresistible (hey, wait a second... it must be truth, lol)

    Hey, I wear the same perfume! The pink one, right?

  • Yep, the pink one.

    I also have a bottle of Amarige and I love their limited edition scents.

  • it's happened to me, but not often enough that it's like a thing.

    after reading this post, i'm now very self-conscious that i'm stinky.

    kiss it, nest.
  • Yes, most people who get close enough to smell me say something like this (like when my friends decided we hug now, and they made all the creepy fuss over it).  One time a little girl sat in my lap and told me I smelled nice before biting me.

  • I bartend in a restaurant and lots of times men that sit down smell good and sometimes I tell them and sometimes I'm afraid they will think I'm hitting on them.  If I say something I usually follow it up with "would you mind telling me what you're wearing so I can get my husband some?" .  Other bartenders tell me I smell good when I walk in to work.  I'm guessing anyone freshly showered smells amazing when you have been smelling bar all day.
