What Your Smell Says About You 

all of them

Mostly flowers

Does vanilla count as a smell?😅

I love the smell of strawberries

Not sure

That's very interesting! Was she also attracted to your as well?

@@Psych2go yes but I wear cologne haha

Oh yeah, I still remember how the redhead smelled that I dated in high school over 25 years ago. Odd memory, but it’s there.

Scent is an underrated, but very powerful tool when it comes to dating, and pleasant natural scent is like a cheat code in that regard. H.G. Wells has famously been romantically involved with many women while not being particularly handsome, and one of his more consistent lovers, Moura Budberg, attributed her attraction to him to the fact that "his body smelt of honey" (if I'm to believe my sources)

I once were with my ex and he was smelling around me very interested. "You smell like - human, I haven't felt that in a while". Because I hate perfumes and most often using perfume free soaps and schampoo ect. 😊 I took it as a complement

Yep I can tell when either happens for my gf. I can also attest that I can rate her sugar levels/ ketoacidosis by smell, she’s diabetic and it really does change in some ways

I can smell directly when me and my kids are getting sick, especially my son, it has always smelled right away 😁 And I always feel so embarrassed when I start to smell but nobody else can feel it when I ask (or they just being kind?)

​@@somethingbambi875 I personally can't notice changes like that when it comes to scent. Maybe it's just that your senses are stronger since you are a mother.

I went out with my friends when I was menstruating while recovering from a cold but must of been smelling funky 😂

I mean, Period blood smells strong and it's bad blood

Thank you for the timestamps!

​@@Psych2go not a problem happy to help

What do You smell like?

Thank you for sharing. It sounds like you almost have a superpower! In your opinion, do you feel like the video was relatable to you? If so, what did you find relatable?

I am only diagnosed with atypical autism, which in my case means highten senses in general. So I smell everything and it makes work hard because smelling working men ... Not all, but a lot of them, no fun 😅 and cigarettes are hell 😢

That is pretty cool. How did you find out? How did you know that you smell better than most people? Does it make it harder to go to like public toilets, or be near a co-worker with bad breath? I wonder if I have the same issue, but I am not sure.

I've noticed too that ny husband smells different when he is aroused. I guess that is covered by attraction in the video. I can sometimes tell who is in a room I'm about to enter if I get a whiff, but it's not all the time. And different people smell different. Sometimes an odor can be very distinct and I'm not sure why. I guess I'm sharing because I want to know if this sounds familiar. Also what is it like for you having hyperosmia? Weird question: can you smell fear?

@@Psych2go I found most of it very relatable, I do tend to smell if someone is sick as it’s a very weird and distinct smell to me, if someone eats and drinks healthy or not, and the age of someone:)

Omo it's unbelievable that u have such strong smelling sense 🐧

Women in general have a greater olfactory capacity than Men. It's why Moms are way more sensitive to their kid's BO than Dads.

I have a high sense of smell too- i can tell food is about to go bad before it actually is bad , my favorite coworkers don't smell . my old boss had to amny smelly goods in the office in air fresheners that it gave me head aches. . something wrong is my sniffer in our new place though because candles I used to like all smell like cars with bad exhaust its sickly sweet . it makes me upset because I liked them last year !

You encouraged me to take my personal hygiene more seriously! Thank you kind woman!

@@lamberto4332 You are welcome.

Nahhh, das a bad smell fam. But there are so many WORSE smells that I'm not bothered by that smell anymore lmaoo

My father always smelled like sweet chilli sauce, then after going mostly vegetarian, garlic

all of my scrawny friends smelled like carrots and pennies lol

I've been around a lot of people that smell starchy, its not awful but its enough to make me not want to be around them.

Yes it does! It can even tell us our personality too. What do you think you smell says about you?

Can you notice if someone is lying by trying their tears?

@@CARBONATED_SO-DA I'm not sure about that but I heard you can tell joy from sadness (I think it has to do with the salt levels, but I'm not 100% sure)

@@Psych2go that I'm lazy 😅

What does smell mean to you for someone who has Olfactophilia?

@@Psych2go From what I have lived, it does not only apply to me around the sexual or in the fetishistic way that falls on it. I prefer to be with people whose smell is pleasant to me. Somehow, it makes me feel comfortable being around them.

@@uberjackkde Probably lol

@@uberjackkde I find it most comfortable to sniff my gf like a vacuum

@@viciousyeen6644 The question is does she find it comfortable lol

Not joking or trying to be rude I notice older people tend to smell the same I think it may be the scent of decay

@@Mr3DLC Yeah like it could possibly be linked to the breakdown of DNA as DNA can start to break down after the caps degrade over time.

Elder people also tend to take a lot of meds. Could that contribute as well?

@@Membersman Maybe though I’m not sure on that! :)

🤚

Yup

How long have you been watching us for?

How long have you been a subscriber?

@J J lmao. Seriously tho, you can tell who showers and eats their fruits.

That's very interesting! Was the difference hugely noticeable?

@@Psych2go depends on how sensitive you are.

roses remind me of old grannies from the 90's

@@ah5721 :D I feel attacked. I can't stand the chemical-like scent of the perfumes dude

Eating nuts??

It always amazes me that some people can't smell their own stench even if I can smell them from 15ft away.

Lies. Apparently, your sense of smell diminishes when you have covid. So you must be describing something else

Glad you like them! Thank you for keeping up with all of our videos!

Glad to hear that you are a fan of Kim Possible!

I'm not the only one who noticed it. 😂

Did you try your underarm yet?

​@@AC-ni4gt I usually can't smell my own scent even from there. Probably it still smellls like something.

Our brains are programmed to dismiss many of the details about ourselves... so we don't constantly notice our noses interfering with our vision, or our own body smells interfering with what little olfactory information we DO get from the rest of the world... SO there isn't much we can even do about that... As for testing colognes or shampoo, you CAN find a source of odor that's at least a little stronger than you normally are. It doesn't have to be a "bad" odor, just unique enough that you can definitely tell if it's covering the cologne or shampoo rather than the other way around... Colognes and Perfumes are designed to COVER other odors. They're not usually antimicrobial or offering some other organic chemistry to target and alter the sources of odors, but to aerate their own odor profiles to distract us or to inundate our olfactory system so we don't notice the other odors... That's sufficient for you to simply test your cologne against something unique and strong, even if it's no more than spraying your hand and then waving it a discrete distance under your nose while hovering over a garbage can... Shampoo, on the other hand, is first and foremost a detergent for your hair, and hair is a textile. Your skin also secretes oils that coat the hair and penetrate it... SO a quality shampoo has to be at least a solid degreasing agent. You don't need it to strip off an engine block from a decade of sludge, but if it can't remove the odd little oil smudge from a piece of clothing without destroying it, then you may not have a quality shampoo, regardless of how good it smells. The oils in your hair will repel the fragrance and it runs down the drain anyway... This degreasing nature of shampoo is also where we come across some of that advice about NOT washing our hair every single day or even every single time we shower or bathe... BUT what (exactly) you do with all this information is ENTIRELY up to you. I hope this helps you out, and that if you do discover your shampoo isn't cutting the grease or mustard, you can find a reasonable alternative... If you're in the States (or you can still find it in your country) actually "Formula VO5" is decent shampoo... and their "Extra Body" is almost engine degreaser quality... haha... I keep a few bottles of the stuff SPECIFICALLY for the laundry, because it's also about as CHEAP as shampoo gets. It leaves almost no residue at all, so a light follow up with your favorite fragrant wash or a conditioner is sufficient to scent your hair as well as about anything on the market. ;o)

​@@MF175mp go for a run after taking a bath and sleeping. It should give you an idea.

Maybe smell your pillow, clothes or bath towel, in my case I can smell it directly from my skin but idk why 🤷

Lucky!! Do you think your smell reflects your personality as well?

Coool no one talks to me so idk

Same here, but it is only a few that pointed it out to me, so I can't know for sure how many else and if those time I felt like I smell bad they also felt it 😅 But for someone who hates perfumes the best compliment yet was that I smell human ❤

ikr

Weird but also educational?

A long time in the waiting. It's medical & science & my case experience.

@@uberjackkde ayo chill

@@Psych2go Yes

Glad they brought it up

Did you enjoy the topic? :)

@@Psych2go a little bit, though it did make me feel a bit uneasy about how I smell to others

Thank you for your comment! What did you find interesting?

What kind of scent do you like?

@@Psych2go freshly baked pastries!

We're glad you found the video interesting! Did you find any other points in the video relatable?

Thank you for triggering my craving for garlic fries and nachos as well

Me too😂

Thank you for watching! Did you enjoy this video?

@@Psych2go yes, it was so good it entertained me too

Glad you think so! What did you learn from this video?

Have you ever thought about your scent and what it means?

my husbands bo is comforting when I'm cramping otherwise I hate it .

@@ah5721 you on the pill by any chance? That's kinda odd for it to only be OK in the one instance. Also, we actually have 2 different kinds of sweat & glands; Apocrine which is your "normal" scent that even if you shower, will naturally come back over time and is the one that causes arousal in potential partners and endocrine which is stress sweat i.e. BO that is generally offensive.

This effect is inverted for women taking oral contraceptives so if you get together with a woman on the pill she will dislike your smell when she stops taking it (menopause?). If men are sensitive to MCH smell too they would be attracted women on the pill that aren't attracted to those mens smells. (if oral contraceptives' change how women's MCH markers smell is an entirely different question) Thank you hidden horrors of modernity

Yes! What do you think your smell says about your personality?

What does fear smell like?

I used to have a perfume I LOVED. I was addicted to it. I got a lot of compliments on it. But every once in a while, somebody hated it. Those people *always said the perfume smelled specifically like rotting meat!

Thank you! What made this video fantastic to you?

@@Psych2go absolutely smell

Interesting topic! If we were to do a video on this topic, what would you like to see?

Yes, I thought about it in the studies, me being more gay then hetero, but still a bit straight and very confusing. In high school I used my brother's spray deo to make girls like me 😂 true story, didn't work because I was so shy though.

@@Psych2go I'm not entirely sure tbh, but maybe just as a general thing? Also another good topic idea could be the psychology that's at play when it comes to discourse, like why people are so desperate to be right even when they know deep down that they're wrong.

the smell of outside sunshine is what I love about summer because my kids smell like it when they go outside to play

Thank you for the kind words! What did you like about this video? Did you learn anything new?

@J J he’s about 18,

Is there a link between autism and anosmia/diminished sense of smell even in those who don't have your condition? I know certain smells can be sensory issues for some of us (I'm also autistic), but I've also noticed my sense of smell has always been lacking.

@@comeflynextome94 good question. To be honest, I have no idea. I honestly can’t say.

So the universe just hates you? Lol Sorry, but seriously, that sucks to hear man.

@@kagenotatsumaki what do you mean by this? I’m not ashamed of my Septo Optic Dysplasia if that’s what you mean.

@@kagenotatsumaki please don’t be discriminating to those with SOD. It’s not a burden, honestly, it’s not.

Always wait about a minute before you leave the stall so the other person doesn't get hit with the smell. I do this just as a "in case" every time I'm in a public a restroom. I just don't want anyone to smell me if I leave a smell lol.

i will do opposite do a huge shit and go as fast as i can so other people can get full arome

Which flavor of cotton candy?

Because you are so sweet.

Lucky lucky

@@Psych2go, vanilla in the morning and that blue raspberry blue scent throughout the day

What do you think your body scent says about you?

that i probably smell bad

Black people smell the worst

Maybe you are aro/ace? It's totally fine to not feel romantic or sexual attraction at the same level as other people.

Crushes are our own desires pushed onto others. We never truly know who others are, even after decades of being around or with them. I'm sure you'll find someone you're comfortable around eventually, that's the key, and it's good you notice it and don't get drunk on lust and make mistakes with who you're with. Just take your time, things will work out. I'd say be careful listening to what some might tell you though. Trying to convince you that you're some term being thrown around these days. Be very careful with labeling, especially labeling yourself. We spend our entire life understanding ourselves, it's too sad to see people putting themselves into categories and limiting their own growth and self understanding at any age, especially a young age. Good luck, God bless, and remember to be patient, it takes time.

Maybe you have a very sensitive sense of smell! What does "reeking of children" smell like?

We learn something new every single day!

Us too! Thank you for the comment! Did you find the video useful?

@@Psych2go Yes! I had no idea you smelled different when sick.
