cologne/perfume
As long as it isn't strong. I typically wear light floral scents myself but always ask a client first if this is OK since some people are sensitive. In some cases people evidently have Axe body spray for shower water, and I don't particularly enjoy that.
I love when my cuddle buddy smells good. Bonus points for them!
Nothing wrong with smelling good. It’s when you smell like shhh cuddle done.
I'm not allowed to go to weight watchers wearing this anymore.
Axe was designed for boys in puberty. Can’t understand why any grown man would wear Axe.
@DonLonG Or at a fraternity house.
Let’s just go back to bruit
I usually ask that people I cuddle with don't wear colognes, perfumes, or scented deodorants. It tends to give me a headache and makes the cuddle less fun.
We need more options, not just “yes” or “never.” I can’t vote. Some perfumes I can tolerate, some I can’t.
@MountainCuddles: Seconded. And I'm not even sure what it is about some scents that makes them unbearable. I don't think it's even always about the way they smell. Maybe it's the chemical content. Anyway... if it were an option, I'd have to vote "maybe."
I have a particularly sensitive sniffer. I don't mind if my partner wears perfume, but I warn her about certain ones that will repulse me or...ahem...work too well on me. On the other hand, I always ask a cuddle buddy that I am meeting for the first time if my particular scents are ok with them (shampoo, body wash, Deoderant, etc.)
I've never understood why if something were carcinogenic (or in other words could kill you) someone would spray it all over the place, on themselves and every other place where scents exist. Would it derail a cuddle? Depends.
The question is ambiguous. Does it mean I'm wearing it or the person I'm cudding is wearing it? Also, as previously mentioned, your answers do not cover all possible responses. It's hardly a scientific survey.
I enjoy the fresh scent of string beans and despair
@pmvines Wow, They make those as well, who knew? And Amazon is currently sold out of String Bean. Must be popular.
Most perfumes and colognes irritate me. I do enjoy scented soaps, however, as the odors are usually subtle.
On that note, I almost exclusively use Mistral soaps. Silver absinthe is my favorite, followed closely by bourbon vanilla. I am not sponsored by Mistral.
I wish I was.

I don't mind my clients wearing cologne but I prefer lightly. Not all are as appealing. :shrugs: Also I ask if they mind if I wear a light perfume. Most men love when I wear it and ask for a little bit more for next time. I know some are sensitive so I prefer always asking!
@DonLonG hahahahaha!
If I like the perfume/ why not! Especially, if it's not so synthetic. Or overwhelming.
@SouthFlorida4U that's so considerate of you! 🙂
I don’t mind perfume. I love a good, sweet smelling cuddler! ❤️
I love aromatherapy, so colognes would be greatly appreciated n preferred. Scents stimulate senses hopefully in a good way to most. Unless u have issues with fragrances to begin with. So its a personal preference I think.
I will submit this nugget into evidence—you do not know how any scent will smell until it is on the specific individual. Everyone’s body chemistry is unique and interacts with foreign substances uniquely. For example, John smells great in Bear Butt cologne but Susan quarantined Rick to the outhouse when he wore it.
Surely smelling good is important .
@hiricky Pepe Le Pew would seem to support your assertion.
