does anyone find pleasure in perfume since starting HRT

[stephaniec]

growing up long before HRT I found the scent of perfume very difficult appreciate. It would tend to drive me into another space. Now, since being on HRT I'm finding I rather enjoy a small amt. when I'm in a dress. I started sampling while shopping to build my wardrobe and found the Jennifer Aniston perfume to fit me really well. Has anyone else experienced a drastic ->-bleeped-<- since starting hormones

The most hilarious typo which I have seen recently . But, yes, quite drastic shift, both in terms of enjoyability and preferences . HRT affects everything "smell and scent" related . Nice perfume smells fuller, richer and stronger . Same about guys... those who smell nice, are enjoyable, but those who have skipped a bathtime or two or five... are just terrible to have around.

Um, no I haven't.  Is this something I should expect and prepare for??

I use to dislike any fragrances. Now a very light sweet scent is very pleasing.

sorry for the typo my keys are sticky I spilled coffee

Interesting. I too can't stand perfume. I like nice subtle scents and perfume isn't subtle at all. However since accepting myself, I've noticed a number of "Why do girls want that?" type things I'm actually interested in. I expect HRT to add to the list. I'm hoping shoes isn't one of them. All my sisters have WAY too many shoes.

Oh gosh yes!! My favorite at the moment is called "Pleasures".

there is a musk scent that I want to try . every once in a long while I'll notice a woman wearing it , but I don't have the slightest idea of the name or how I'd go about finding it.

[Jessica Merriman]

Simply ask her. I have before and it was taken well.

Every time I hear the term "musk," I think "rat," and then I think of the captain and tennille.

I was planning on doing that next time I smelled it , but I've only smelled it twice

Ok, I admit it.  I can't stand Britney Spears music, but her perfume line is heavenly.  I've bought every scent and wear them daily!  The bottles are beautiful and I often get compliments on how good I smell.  I keep buying the discontinued ones online when I have the money.  Please stay relevant Britney so I can keep getting your perfumes!

Not dating yourself at all! *giggles*

Victoria's Secret Rapture and Chanel no. 5 are still my favs HRT didn't change that. I do notice my nose seems better on HRT though. I am also loathe to admit that I have two bottles of Kim Kardashian's perfume (both gifts) and I love it. I just assume she has nothing to do with the actual fragrance.

I will say this despite my nose seeming better at discerning scents I still can't tell the difference between my knockoff version of Chanel no.5 and the real stuff but my budget sure knows the difference.

Nup.  The stuff still makes me sneeze.

I loved it before and I still love it. I really wish I didn't have such expensive taste.

4 word answer is:

Yes, Victoria secret Pink.

I really like perfumes
I like them on  me and I like them on other girls
hrt didnt change that

[immortal gypsy]

No. I still find the smell of perfumes too overpowering for me.
(you can add aftershaves and deodorants to that is well)

Perfumes... I remember that being just 5 meters from my older sister could make my eyes sore and bad taste on my mouth :-) . Then again she used some really extreme perfumes...

But yes, like a month back I started to notice that scents don't have such an aggressive on me anymore and quite a few are actually pleasant. Especially the natural ones. I'm not allergic to anything but before HRT walking around areas with a plenty of plants during their spring activity (sorry, my English lacks the word that describes it) could get me nauseous.

Still I think it will take me some time before I can get myself to use something mild if such a perfume exists. Since the hair dye I use reminds me of blueberries then that might be a nice combination :-) .
