do you have an opinion on the smell of mens cologne before and after HRT

[stephaniec]

I never wore cologne  except some times in high school. Never real liked the thick smell. after starting HRT I find It very difficult to stand next to a man wearing cologne. I'm sure there's probably some cologne that I could handle , but I haven't smelled it on anyone yet. I guess the HRT is making my nose too sensitive to that scent that supposed to make woman insane. anybody else have a problem with men's cologne.

I have noticed that my sense of smell has changed somewhat.  Though I have to attribute some of that to quitting smoking at the same time I started HRT.  As long as the person wearing it doesn't bathe in it I'm generally not bothered by it.  Sometimes I'll catch a whiff of something, like the aftershave my grandfather wore, and can have a positive feeling towards it but that's more of a nostalgia thing I guess.

Pretty much as long as the stuff isn't on me it's ok lol.
