I was in no soap mode for a year, had to quit because other people would notice my light odor and, those close to me, would call it out. It was simply out of the social norm.

Still, I loved it. I liked my odor, and I like or dislike others body odors, they are signals and part of what we perceive of someone. What I can't handle are perfumes and cosmetic smells. When the elevator was used by the oldspice, shaving cream, half bottle perfume neighbor I can't go afterwards. The 30 secs trip is too much for my nose and palate. I would rather have the sweaty after gym smell. Perfumes are like masks.

I would really like to go around smelling like me. I also have a big nose.
