I really like man-smell (if it's not too matured!) - I'm curious to see what it's like to lose mine, and curious to see whether my enjoyment of it on others changes once I'm on HRT. It's actually the strongest thing that turns me on (or not) about men.

Yes, Everyone and everything will notice... The creatures will probably notice most... Fortunately, they will give you love all the same 

Surely thats an exaggeration it cant possibly change that much

No no, it's true! When I'm outside gardening, little chirping birds land on my shoulder, bunny rabbits and butterflies and fawns come out of nowhere. It's the weirdest thing!

You just have to watch out for the bears, they have a tendency to come out of the woodwork too - but then they eat you.

Odour CLEARLY changes on E.... BUT --- it also in reverses when going off E and still being pre-op, don't know post-op off E. (quote needed)

In prep for GRS I went down to zero E over 6 weeks, and my odour changed --- can't at all say I liked it for one minute. (If on a sexy male, I'd be fine I'm sure)

Going back on E it took about 2 weeks and I was back to normal. Also rather noticeable the change in the smell of ones urine.
On E it's kind of sweetish, and nowhere near that normal more acrid male smell.

And thank you for the translation, eh.

Since you say you are on hormones you actually aught to know first hand, yes?

I was kidding around a bit    But most everyone knows that animals have a much keener sense of smell than humans... also I was mostly referring to pets noticing 

As for humans, people have made comment about me smelling like a female and I notice a difference in the way my clothes smell

I went on HT March 2010. I did not really notice any "new" odor, female type or otherwise. When I went off hormones 30 days prior to May 31, 2011 surgery, I noticed no odor change, one way of the other (just more bitchy then usual). I'm back on hormones since June 13, and I do notice a change. I've smelled females before, as we all have if we have been around any at all, and I feel it definitely is female odor. And frankly, my dear, I suspect the source of it is the hormones, directly affecting and eminating from the female genitals I brought home from Philadelphia. It seems strong, and probably is strengthed by dilation, lubrication, douching, and (I so hope) natural female odor! I never have smelled better, but either I'm urber sensitive to my odor or I am going to have to pay close attention to hygene!

That is great news, just starting back HRT. I have two lovely Great Pyrenees female dogs. It will be interesting to see how they react.

Not if you give them Charmin.

Dogs notice too.

a neighborhood cat didn't recognise me when I had my hair tied back spoke in my female voice and had started HRT but when I let my hair down she recognised me.

This effect also backfired with an FTM who's story I knew on youtube. Where they had begun T, But their mother wasn't very accepting. a friend of the family mentioned she was going away for a few weeks and needed a dog sitter. the mother went "Oh my daughter can do that" as she was dumb. The thing that was omitted was this dog was a rescue dog, And was abused by men as it was a "female" taking care of the dog this was not mentioned at the time. Thus the FTM on T smelled like a man. and the dog was terrified of him making the whole experience very distressing for both parties.
