B&B helps you smell

[Vlad]

I thought I could smell as well as anyone, but the SS/SC/AS AD brought on by B&B has shown me otherwise. When I first started, I couldn't discern even the most basic scents. I fell in love with T&H pre-shave oil, but someone had to tell me that what I was smelling was citrus. After quite some months I'm even able to distinguish the bergamot.

It only hit me when I opened a tin of Pre de Provence and thought, "hmm, rosemary." And then I thought, "How do I know that?" Six months ago I would have said, "Hey, this smells like really great soap! Really great french soap!" I still don't have a palette like some of you guys, but I'm getting there, and the journey is a lot of fun.

I've also found that I like "feminine" scents just fine. Provence Sante? Not masculine at all, but I like it. Rose? Come on, this is not a man's scent. But it's turned into a favorite.

Anyway, keep on sniffin'.

I enjoyed reading your post, Vlad. I found b&b because of a reference from a basenotes member. I've been a member on that forum for a long time.

I admire your trained nose Vlad, but I will never get there.

SWMBO tells me that I am hopeless and sadly, I have to agree with her.

Those people are definitely better sniffers than I am. I'm avoiding Frag AD since they seem a wee bit more expensive than soaps.

That they are. Fragrances are my AD along with after shaves.

You are certainly not alone on that one!.. I fail miserably in this department too !

Same here. My lack of fragrance AD is to blame.
