Mmmm....Old Spice ::drool::: |
|
Ok, so, my boyfriend uses Old Spice *everything* (body wash, aftershave, cologne, deodorant), and I am now madly addicted to the smell of Old Spice. It drives me crazy. I smell Old Spice and I just get all worked up. Too bad he's back in Maine and I don't get back in Boston til the 15th. So, my sister (who also loves Old Spice) bought Old Spice deodorant today for the both of us. I now smell of Old Spice. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Discuss. Weird? Awesome? Fucked?

If weird means sleeping with your boyfriend's t-shirt as a pillowcase, then, I was definitely weird. That's how I'd handle those lonely nights when home on break from school.
Only mine wore Drakkar, not Old Spice.

God, it was long enough ago ('88-'92) that it's hard to say specifically. It is kind of musky/spicy smelling, so you'd probably like it.
It reminds me of late-nights - flickering fluorescent dorm-room bulbs, the sound of fish tanks bubbling, the Cure or Depeche Mode playing in the background, and freshly-showered-yet-slightly-salty skin.
You are definitely not weird. Smell is a powerful sense. It's funny how it conjures up so many other memories at the same time.

One of my exs showered with Head N' Shoulders. When I smell someone wearing that, I instantly think of him. Smell is the most powerful sense linked to memory.

10. Drakkar gives me a physical pheromone reaction. |
|
Seriously it's like cryptonite for me, I can't think straight. Even a guy I normally think is unattractive will suddenly start looking good if I smell it. Thank God it's not as popular as it once was. Polo does something similar but not as strong as Drakkar.

11. I hear ya on that one! |
|
Both of those scents just do it for me.
I couldn't even think straight last night when I went to bed, just thinking of that Drakkar & the crazy things it made me do. . .

17. You know being female there is a little bit of a luxury |
|
of not being a slave to your hormones, but when I smell that...that's all I can think about...I have to think baseball.. baseball.. baseball.. to get my mind off of it. It never really works either, because then I just start thinking about hot baseball players. It's bad!

Old spice doesn't do it for me.... but if you had drakkar on your neck... we'd have a situation! You know kind of like your foot thing.....this would be a neck thing. Or if you were an Ally Mcbeal fan... a "waddle" thing.
