Living in Atlanta, there’s definitely been no shortage of them everywhere I’ve worked, gone to school, or elsewhere. <br /><br />One of the first and most obvious things I notice about black women is their scent. I’d tend to use words like wonderful or stimulating to describe the way a black woman smells, but these adjectives really seem to fall short. <br /><br />Now it may indeed be true; black females smell differently depending on where they come from, (the ATL consisting of ample numbers of African-Americans, native African women, and black Caribbean women) and I have noticed it varies with the individual, but there is a generally underlying scent that I can only say at this point smells like a black girl. I’ve heard it described once as partly sweaty and partly musky, but it’s definitely not an offensive smell. Sweet and musky is the way I would describe it, and in my personal opinion, the stronger the scent it is the better, especially if the black woman’s scent has an overwhelming musk to it. <br /><br />More than a few times I’ve noticed a black women a fair distance up from me in an indoor location, such as an aisle in a store, and even a good thirty feet away or better, sometimes I still catch her scent. I rarely notice this with white women, typically when they overdose with perfume, which is obvious. When this happens, I’ll admit to discreetly heading up the aisle to pass her, just so I can take in as much of that as possible. It’s not just extremely pleasant; it’s arousing, and I can say if any perfume company really could accurately duplicate that and bottle it, they’d be sitting on a gold mine.<br /><br /><br />So, I’ve pared it down to one of two outcomes- Either the majority of black women are wearing the same brand or type of perfume (unlikely), or racially or ethnically, black women just naturally smell like this. And my respects to all the sisters if it’s just a natural scent. My advice would don’t waste time in the perfume department; you’re not going to find anything to top that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226124.post-52978357857767705212011-11-03T09:33:14.219-04:002011-11-03T09:33:14.219-04:00Great let me know if you see Puerto Rican and Sic...Great let me know if you see Puerto Rican and Sicilian scent othere wise known as "NATIVE NEW YORKER"NANCYhttp://www.comedyconcepts.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226124.post-79537077948596104592011-11-02T17:50:44.646-04:002011-11-02T17:50:44.646-04:00Smart man.Smart man.Leighann Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311729109037565591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226124.post-52796999941227909342011-11-02T16:49:31.313-04:002011-11-02T16:49:31.313-04:00I didn't say that they did; just that I am obl...I didn't say that they did; just that I am obliged to say so.Seannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8226124.post-82073484563987403182011-11-02T15:26:04.066-04:002011-11-02T15:26:04.066-04:00LOL!
