What do you smell like today?
I usually smell vaguely of peaches, but today I smell vaguely of cherries. I ran out of my peach scrub and so used my kids' soap.

So now I have to go buy more body scrub. Any recommendations? I'm a bit tired of smelling like peaches all the time.

12. Sounds nice!
Well... the lavender would smell nice... the oatmeal would be nice and exfoliatey, which I like.

I don't wear perfume so the biosilk in my hair and my body scrub serve as my fragrance.

14. I've tried a body soap with that combo...
but it wasn't exfoliating. That was back when I was using a loofah. Is yours exfoliating?

39. nope,
but you could probably make your own scrub with some sugar, olive oil, vanilla and freesia essential oils. When I'm feeling ultra indulgent I like to make my own.

7. Okay, I have to ask...
In the winter, I do the flowers and fruit stuff. In the summer, those fragrances make me a bee magnet. How do you get away with wearing those sweet fragrances in the summer?

16. No fragrances... just body scrubs.
I just ignore the bees. They do like me, though.

I'm terrified of them... used to freak out completely whenever they came near, so now when they buzz around I consider it free therapy. :)

I still kind of freak out, but I'm getting better.

27. dog breath.
Stella has been licking my face all morning long.

As far as suggestions for you, hmmmmmmmmmmmm. Tired of peaches. Lavander is always nice and soothing. Lemon is perky and stuff. Sportif mayhaps?

I have a lot of soaps going and I really like thia French milled green tea scent, even though it has chunks in it.

35. Today...fresh berries...
The soap I'm using right now smells like rasberries and blackberries and probably some others too. It's yummy.

I do the peach thing sometimes too. And pear or plum. Sometimes mandarin orange. It's good to mix things up from time to time.

This new line (Le Couvent des Minimes) from Bath & Body Works is awesome. Very subtle scents - not perfume-y at all. This scent is my favorite, but they also have Honey & Shea and Lavender & Acacia. Shower gels, scrubs, soaps ... you name it.

46. Lagerfeld Classic.
It's my favorite cologne. Has been for years.

For the longest time, though, I wasn't allowed to wear it. When Mrs. kmla was pregnant (the first time), the sense of smell went into an uber-sensitive mode, and I couldn't wear cologne anymore. I just now got back into wearing cologne again after a 6 1/2 year hiatus.

*sniff sniff*

Yep. Still smell good...

As for body wash/scrub recommendations, if you like summery, beachy scents, you might want to try BBW's Coconut Lime Verbena.

Seriously. My dishwashing detergent is no longer available in lemon scent, so I had to buy the green apple scent. The stuff is now in my food, clothing, skin and is irritating my nose. (Sun Light brand)

68. Dunno--I have a cold
I do know my hands smell like pennies, though, since I have been working out tunes on the Harmony Sovereign, affectionately called "the Cheese Grater" by my students. The action is atrociously high and the strings are so old and heavy I feel like I should have a tetanus shot after playing the thing.
