They say you can't smell you own scent--you're around them so often that your senses completely overlook your own body odour, the smell of your toiletries, deodorant, your laundry detergent, and anything else you might use regularly that happens to be perfumed but that you don't notice unless you're actively trying to.
I'm undoubtedly odd but if I ever can smell any of these things, it kind of bothers me. I don't find it unpleasant, exactly, just jarring to be aware of something that I'm normally oblivious of. When it comes from my own personal hygiene products, the first few days after getting a different one (because I just buy whatever is on sale at the time) I can smell them--then I get used to it and never notice it again.
But right now I happen to smell like someone else's cologne or body spray or detergent or something because I can smell it on myself and isn't at all familiar. I don't have contact with others to explain it so it's driving me nuts because I CAN SMELL MYSELF RIGHT NOW and I don't know who or where it came from or how it managed to transfer to me. I don't think it's being too fussy to want to know who the hell I got close enough to that I still had their scent on me the next day. Or when it happened. You have to get pretty uncomfortably intimately close with someone to keep smelling like them the day after it happened, and I'm a little annoyed with myself for having obviously done this but having no memory of the event.
Because quite frankly it's the most action I've gotten in months and I'm disappointed that I can't remember anything about it.
