Scents(ual)

Are there certain scents/fragrances that Pisces find appealing or intriguing? As a Pisces what scents that turn you on?

I should have seen that coming... but, really, is there something to be said for water signs liking oceany scents? Personally I am partial to earthy scents, so I think it would make sense.

That would have made you around 12 or so... a breeze would make your dick hard at that age!

Oh My God, ian. LOL

But he's not far off.. the natural scents, the smell of skin, the smell of sex - mmmm all great.

Personally, I like fresh smells.. lilacs, wildflowers, spring rains, the cool woods after the rain, fresh cut grass.

But as for my perfumes, I like light, slightly flowery, but WARM smells, not cool ones.
Tresor by Lancome and Euphoria by Calvin Klein are my two faves. Very warm.

i'm not a pisces but i wanted to comment anyway cuz i can.

i'm with nefer in that i like the smell of fresh, clean things. love the smell of clean laundry, a clean house, and freshly showered skin of a man. *drools*

a clean man is one of the best smells ever!

my nose is actually quite sensitive to smells so i'm not a fan of perfumes/colognes. deodorant is ok though. if there is an extra scent i like it would have to be real sandalwood oil and real sandalwood itself. there's also this natural, more subdued form of nag champa that is great. i'm this weird leo who is all about earthiness in all its splendor. i love earth tones, earthy scents, and tend to mainly attract earth signs. go figure!

I don't care who you are... when I wear addict by Christian Dior in the dark blue bottle... everyone's dick gets hard.

Men and women... one chick actually grabbed me and said "Is that Dior?" and started knawing on my arm. True story.. I know it sounds like a weird advertisement.

That smell...... It's just plain sexy.

I've been wearing a light warm floral scent... but, my Pisces interest hasn't commented (then again, ya never know with men, he might like it and just not commented) which is why I was looking for some feedback on what I could try.

I want to entice this guy in every way possible...

Oh, and lately, I've taken to just wearing Vic Sec's Delicate Petals body spray.. and occassionally Love Spell, though my daughter swiped my Love Spell and hid it in her bedroom (aka Neverneverland!).

Funny, I feel like a kid positing my questions... but, at the same time, I've been through so many really bad relationships (because I want to give, give, give and don't get anything in return except abuse), I just want something that is right for a change. Yet, he's probably going to break my heart anyway. 😢

If you're a kid for this, then so are the rest of us. Knowledge is power. 🙂

I've been wearing Avon's "Flower" (yes it's Avon - I know, don't beat me up over it)... I enter sweeps and won a bottle and liked it. It doesn't smell real flowery despite its name and I do get a lot of compliments on it. But, alas, I don't know if the man likes it...

I gotta get this man outta my head! (I'm going out to buy lingerie and new heels to wear for him - Yes, Ian simultaneously, ya think that will do the trick?).

I always liked Hawaiian White Ginger and Lily Of The Valley. And also, yes, Sweet Honesty.

Clean pussy doesn't smell anything like fish 😛
If it smells like fish, there's a BIG problem and you'd do well to mosey on outta there!

😛

*eyeroll* Fish doesn't smell like pussy either 😛

Leave it to a Virgo to split hairs 😛

I cannot do perfumes any more it makes my stomach feel icky. I used to love Tresor. My senses got all messed up after having kids.

I do love Cherry Blossom from bath and body my favorite.

I do love the smell of natural things as Neffer said especially fresh rain or ocean water or fresh coffee ...love the smell of coffee houses.

I wear more essential oils with lilac, lavendar, cassis, orange peel, ylang ylang, and every now and than I like ol' patcholui oil (has good memories for me. 🙂 )

PD

oooooo how could I forget ....I love the smell of nag champa incense.

aw, ian! u dig my style too!

I co-sign to the Nag Champa.

Its also the name of one of my favorite songs by Common (also a Pisces)


But my absolute favorite smell in this universe is the smell of rain.

I wear a perfume that every where I go I seriously get asked what it is. Male and female. People always notice it and always love it.

I'm not saying though because it's my little secret.... and because the last time I said what I wore a girl went right out and got the same thing. So not cool.

I also wear Avon's Tomorrow for work.

Well.... it was some annoying girl that would buy whatever I did and show up wearing it like I was the one picking up her style . LOL

I just prefer to not look (or smell) like everyone else. I kinda think that a womans scent is her signature.

What really sealed the deal with me telling people what I wore was after I told that girl and she went out and bought it we were at the same party and I was talking to this really hot guy. He leaned down to tell me that something smelled really good and she was all of a sudden there in a flash to tell him that it was "our" perfume and pushed her neck in his face. IDK... that pissed me off and embarrassed me at the same time. It made ME feel like a poser.

LOL Clair...........hmmmm..... it's really not that special and I bet you've heard of it. It's actually pretty cheap but it smells really good.

ah, but, what smells good on you may not be as 'appetizing' on her...

awww, you would do that for me? I could model it for you and everything?? How sweet! 😉

now I just need to decide on leather, lace or satin...

I went out with a girlfriend last night and didn't take his call... wouldn't ya know it, he called at 7am and asked what I was up to last night that I couldn't take his call. Long story short, I shared with him that some guy was hitting on me and asked me out and I told the guy 'no, I am already perusing someone that I'm interested in and I don't play the field." (I like to see what direction one takes - my girlfriend says I need to keep my options open. But, I don't want options, I am too indecisive!). Get this though, Mr. Pisces said he was disappointed that I didn't take the guy up on it. What's up with that? (wishy-washy fishy)

no leather please..
he said that to you because you actually told him some other guy was hitting on you.. and you told him that was why you couldnt take his call?
:/

no... not at all, do you think he misunderstood?? I was letting him know that there was only one guy I was interested in and persuiing... him!

Nice phot Ian!! 😉 Very metrosexual. 😛

PD

I love the smell of vanilla too!! Bath and Body works Warm Vanilla Sugar. Mmmmmm smells nice.
I wish I had the talent to mix oils up but I'd come out smelling like a cheeseburger or something 😛

Gingerscorp - It is not that hard to mix oils. Their are reciepes out there you know. 🙂

BTW - One of my fav oils to use when I go hiking or camping is lavendar .....great for keeping bugs away....just in case you did not know that.

LOL Thanks PD. I'm a bit of a tomboy so... that kinda stuff I'm a little clumbsy with.

I'll have to look into that. 🙂

Ugh I have such a hard time with chiggers. I get bite alot more then anyone else does.

Poor me 😢 😛

Aries does the mowing cuz he's the MAN. *rolls eyes*

Gingerscorp .....it is fun to make your own soaps or bath soaks. Love doing this and experimenting with essential oils. If you ever see a class .....I would take one. Tons of fun and a great way to make personal gifts for friends and family. Than again I am nature girl so I dig this kinda thing. LOL

PD

LOL

Game Player.


"I shared with him that some guy was hitting on me"



That was only told to him to play him to see what he was going to do ..... and he wasn't baited. You're left with thinking .... wtf is up with that? why wasn't he jealous.


so, you call him wishy-washy instead .... that makes it sound like he is just a ditz, rather than facing the fact that your attention game didn't catch him.


You're too superficial for the Pisces ... you should back off now, before you get hurt.

You missed my point... thought you were supposed to be intuitive. Ian understood exactly what I was doing! My approach was wrong.

Ian, so you think I'm playing games too? That's disappointing... 😢

I have a goal... and maybe I don't go about it the right way to try to achieve my goal (out of practice in these areas), but games I don't play! Cautious in the way I make my approach - yes, indeed, to see the response I'll get, but it's by no means playing some game, it's feeling things out.

I am cautious by nature... but you think I should instead just go with the flow, tell it like it is, and in turn won't have him throwing fast balls to throw me off my stance?

Pisces rarely buy into the jealousy game; most of us aren't jealous at all. Yes, very intuitive we are - he saw it as you baiting him for a reaction. And he refused to play along, threw you for a loop instead. We're good like that; we like to be unpredictable. To be predictable would be akin to being boring. And we won't be boring.

Besides, you're just starting out, barely know each other, he doesn't think of you as HIS anything. Pointing out how attractive others find you will just make a Pisces shrug and think, "Que sera sera; what will be will be. We'll just wait and see." Until you are committed to HIM and him alone, you seeing others won't bother him. He may even encourage you, so you "know for sure" that you want him and not someone else. We won't be second to anyone.

It's not that you're playing games intentionally, per se. More like this is the way you're used to having to get reactions out of your suitors. Be more direct with a Pisces. You had good intentions (letting him know how interested you are), but the other guy flirting with you made it seem like almost a sneaky brag, as if you were looking for a reaction, maybe a jealous one, maybe for him to "stake his claim." He's not ready to stake a claim; he's still seeing how things develop with you.

Try something like, "I like you. You really intrigue me. I'd like to go out with you and see how things develop." No mention of other guys being attracted to you (he knows you are attractive), or that you want him and only him. He's not ready for that; it may be too pushy.

*DING* *DING* *DING*
Tell her what she's won, Bob!
A NEWWWWW CAAARRRRRRRRRRR!!

Or at least maybe a new boyfriend in the near future 😛

ugh! I really like to feel things out before taking those steps... I've probably already been too pushy, again, just my nature!

That's human nature, lildol - don't be so hard on yourself. No one likes to set themselves up for rejection. "Feeling things out" is normal and we all do it, your approach was just not going to work with Mr. Pisces like it does with others. We're different, and you'll have to do things differently than you ever have. (You said he's your first Pisces, correct? Poor you - you're going to go crazy trying to figure this out LOL)

Direct, non-manipulative, and non-pushy. That's the key to showing interest in a Pisces.

Oh, also - you haven't irreparably damaged anything yet. To a Pisces, that little "see if he gets jealous" thing is VERY minor. We're very accepting and accommodating of human nature and peoples' little flaws and foibles. In fact, he might be almost amused over it. You haven't lost him yet, so don't despair. Just be more direct from now on, he'll appreciate that!

Oh, but he was feeling sick yesterday (running a fever and all), I went to his house anyway to deliver soup and he didn't answer. Left it on his door step w/ a note and treats for his dog. Hasn't called me today despite the fact he is working 12-5. Maybe I stepped over the line... I just wanted to take care of him! I can be nurturing to a fault...

... or maybe he's still feeling crappy and/or doesn't feel like talking on the phone and/or is busy at work? 😛

We like being taken care of - not put in a padded room like a china doll... well, maybe SOME Pisces women are helpless damsels in distress like that... but generally, no. We like nurturing. Your gifts were very thoughtful - give him some time to recuperate and show his appreciation properly.

Mmm but also, some Pisces CAN seem a little selfish in cases like this, especially if they don't think to say thanks or be as flattered and touched (as a woman might be.) See, when WE do things to be nice and thoughtful, there aren't really any thanks necessary. Our reward is in the doing for you. If it were something MAJOR we did for you, yes we want (and would give) a thank you, at least. For something minor like soup and doggie treats, we'll be flattered, but might not think about thanking you, because we wouldn't expect a thank you for doing something like that.

Are you starting to see how crazy this is going to drive you, Miss Cappy? 😉

He called and I missed it... interesting when I called him back he made it clear that I knew he called me, I told him that's why "I" called him. He thanked me for the soup, but made it clear that I need to back off. I asked him where I stand and all he would tell me is that I shouldn't be so aggravating (doting is what I do and that has obviously got on his nerves). He did say I was ruining a good thing. Yes, I know, BACK OFF. I'll just have to let him take the reigns... I'm not good not taking a back seat. Maybe I'm too strong of a personality for Mr. Pisces.

Still am driven... maybe to what I can't have.

Driven to a fault...

Never thought about how one's sign could play into anything and maybe that is why I've experienced such failure (only few very long relationships, but none the less). Knowing about the characteristics of a certain sign (me and my interest) I certainly want to try that angle. Understanding myself and why I am the way I am is part of that. I want love and happiness with someone who won't be critical of me, my beliefs and who I am. (I know, that is what we all seek).

oh, and my nurturing nature... this evening I was at a friend's and came across a baby Robin, I had to take it home because it can't fly. I even requested worms so I could feed him/her and fed him/her I did. Seems to like me, perches on my hand and all. Not the first time I've done this sort of thing... they do always like me. And I always feel gratified by what I can do. Wish I could keep him/her but going to take it to the bird sanctuary (I always have a hard time parting with them).

This has been a while ago P. I've been wearing this scent for a long time (since my teens). It was before Aries 🙂 But he loves it the same.
Maybe I'm being a shit about not coming out with what I wear? 😉

Yes, you are, G. So SPILL IT 😛

"This has been a while ago P. I've been wearing this scent for a long time (since my teens). It was before Aries But he loves it the same.

Oh, I thought you were talking in current terms .... so yeah, you are being a shit about it because we can't smell you here so what difference does it make if we know?
