It’s no secret that the power of scent is one of the strongest senses we have.
It can bring back memories in a heartbeat, act as an aphrodisiac, and repel us. Some of us prefer to go au natural, and there’s something to be said for that, but I think we can’t help but notice when someone has a great scent on and they know how to apply it.
When it’s right (nothing is worse than overdoing it) … you’ll pass by, stop to sniff the air, head back and go “damn, what’s that you’re wearing?” Sometimes the perfume/cologne can be even more engaging than the person!
So, thinking about what scent (or not) to use is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly.
But wait… hold on… what’s great about camming is you can do it from your home, and you don’t have to worry if you smell good at all, right? Heck who cares if you even shower? No one will know!
Let’s go back to the power of scent.
What we smell like doesn’t just affect others, it affects us. Want to feel seductive? Flirty? Fresh? Whimsical? Mysterious? It’s more than the clothes, or the mood lights in your cam room, what you dab on your wrists or neck can create a whole different vibe for you and may even affect your performance.
Have you found your signature scent yet?
Or do you like more than one, and can’t choose? That’s fine too, variety is the spice of life! Then again, I personally like to just have my go-to. Whatever works for you. Below is a list of some highly regarded perfumes that you may want to give a try.
- A. N. Other – Made by award-winning perfumers – 2020’s version was a finalist for the Perfume Extraordinaire Award. As a bonus, purchase 6 x 2 ml samples to see which is your favorite and get your money back on a full bottle.
- Kelly + Jones – Truly unique scents and if you purchase any of the Mezcal line a portion of the sale goes to Program Vaca which helps build rebuild rural areas in Mexico devastated by earthquakes.
- Olo Fragrance – Hand blended and bottled scents from Portland, Oregon.
- Séance Perfumes – “Hauntingly beautiful” perfumes with a Victorian twist.
- Smoke Perfume– All-natural unisex botanical perfumes out of New Orleans that make you feel like a sexy vampire on the prowl.
- The Parlor Company – Another Victorian-inspired line of perfumes with amazing packaging.
- White Shoulders – It may be inexpensive, but don’t be fooled. This is an iconic scent that dates all the way back to the 1940s. Not everyone can pull it off, but if you can, stick with it – the price and smell it can’t be beat.
