While I do realize for some the hormonal effects can also change what you like too but wondering more about pre HRT or if they didn't really change. However please make a note if they did or how they changed.
I know this is only one aspect of gender tendency which scents we prefer but it might help someone like myself if they really are male or female. No judgements really either way since sexual orientation would most likely have an influence too. Which for MTF is of course complicated.
For me I have no idea but the scent of baby powder has always turned me on yet not exactly interested in having kids either. Other scents seem to lean me to female likes rather then male too.
Toss In reply of other scents too I didn't list all that I could find since too many really.
Not to leave out questioning/FTM/etc. just mention whatever you feel you are and leave a comment.
I don't think any specific scents turn me on but there are two that always bring a happy state of mind. These are Jasmine and Honeysuckle. I think that's mainly because they are scents my mind associates with childhood. This has always remained constant and really hasn't changed with HRT. I'm MTF on HRT and as for sexual orientation that has always seemed to be a very ambiguous thing as trans. But I do have a wife and have been married 33 years with no intention of straying outside that.

LOL. Another thought just came to mind about baby powder but that one definitely doesn't turn me on. In my mind that associates with the scent of dirty diapers which I changed a lot of when my two kids were young. Whenever I smell baby powder the other scent seems just a whiff behind. Yuck

I think you missed "men" from the list.
Genderfluid and I voted floral. :) Interesting set of choices.

Umm...sexual partners that had a rough day at work. :-\
Yes, male/female.
I voted musk.

Wow thanks for the replies thus far!:)
Yes baby powder and changing diaper I can see that as a turn off well the latter at least.
As for the smell of men/women I did leave that out due to well transgender (as Deborah pointed out) sexual orientation is a ambiguous thing.
Seems floral is the winner and admit like that one too just not as much:)
Right now I'm finding the men smell a turn off. I used to like musk (like white musk perfume) but now it annoys me.... :)
I'm not really turned on by anything. I have noticed that babies smell good and some guys do too. Again not turning me on, more of an "instinctual interest" sort of way, like you want to hug them or something. I wish I could of had kids, I'll always be a little jealous of cis-girls. *sigh*
Also quick note, most guys stink to high heck, that makes me gag.
