Jeopardy: Same Name-> Cologne, Germany!

off topic but: 90% of your perception of taste comes from taste buds in your nose (where most of them are).

I agree with sinewav. my GF loves the smell of cologne but she prefers my natural odor besides I don't stink anyway. . and plus if you love that person you don't really care if your partner smells a little funny. . except when he/she smells like shit alreadly.

[nsh22]

wat if your work involves you goin home smelling like crap (or garlic, onions, fish etc etcetc)?

Food smells are not crap smells. I happen to like curry -- and girls that smell like curry, haha. Also, perfumes are a big turn-off for me.

Don't cover yourself up with fake smells just to avoid smelling like where you work. Look, if you spend 4-12 hours a day at work, you will smell like your work environment, and if your girl has a problem with that, she probably ought to move on.

Of course, the filthier you get at work, the more important it is to take a shower when you get home.

hmm if you smell that badly and try to cover it using perfume or cologne then that would smell more funnier.If you know you smell funny after work then rest and take a shower.

The right girl loves your natural smell...

He's 100% right. Your natural smell will resonate with someone in a much more powerful way than an artificial one. Without going into too much detail, an ex-girlfriend and I had a conversation a few years after our break-up and we both admitted one of the things we missed most about the other was the way we smelled. Something about it strongly contributed to our (sometimes unhealthy) bond, and this "scent-bond" was missing from our other relationships. Your olfactory sensors wind through the brain before reaching the thalamus (your main input/output), which is something the other senses don't do.

Smell is extremely important, so do you best to smell "good" without smelling "artificial" or fake. It makes a difference.

From my research, the right cologne will "enhance" your natural scent. Some will smell like crap on you, others will produce astounding results.

Wrong. Don't be so gullible, McFly.

wat [sic] if your work involves you goin home smelling like crap (or garlic, onions, fish etc etcetc)?

Lemon juice helps remove those odors. In fact, that's the only good use for the bottled lemon juice at the grocery store (it sure isn't any good for consumption). Put it in a bottle and dilute it with some water.

By the way, you don't have taste buds in your nose. You have olfactory sensors. But yes, those have the greater contribution to taste. However, if you destroy your actual taste buds—say with smoking or capsaicin—that'll outweigh the contribution of the odor.

I do take cooking lessons, and I usually smell like it afterwards. I, for one, enjoy that, because then it feels much better because you have done something yourself.

Wrong. Don't be so gullible, McFly.

Are you referring to 'Back to the future'? If so, great trilogy, watched part 2 yesterday.
