Cute, Margaret. We must be talking about pheromones here?

Michael,
check the archive on perfume, there was a whole thread on it last year.
I think, the perfume should be classy, sensuous, but not too strong and
obnoxious. That would mean, any of the Bulgari fragrances is fine, most of
Guerlain is wonderful , except for "Samsara"; "Opium" and "Poison" (by Dior)
are out, as they could knock out your partner at close distance, and for the
men- well, choose between "Dune pour homme" (Dior), Bulgari "Black", any
Calvin Klein or Davidoff. Keep away from the cheap stuff. Not many people
potentially would care to swoon inside a cloud of raspberry candy, strong
musk and a chemical imitation of lily of the valley.

Perfume advice:
Women have a stronger sense of smell than men - tone it down, guys. Try not
to leave too much perfume on your partner - wash your hands or any other
part that touches your partner.
Personally I prefer the pheromone thing. We smell good naturally (I hope!)

I love fragrances/colognes/fragrances. Unfortunately, I have developed a
strong sensitivity to them. My eyes start watering and I start sneezing when
in close proximity to even the best perfumes or colognes.
Most of all though I love the smell of warm human skin!
If you decide to use fragrance, use it lightly, put it on parts of the skin
that don't come in contact with your partner, and never on clothing.

Hola,
Since we're dancing so close, a little fragrance goes a long way. For
men and women. I have avoided partners whose perfume were so strong. My
preference is none at all. An artificial fragrance also functions as a
barrier. Our personal scent is just fine and, at times, it can even be
quite intoxicating.
But this brings up another issue: food smell and what to eat (or not)
before a milonga. Sure there are breath mints, listerine strips and
brushing. Still, what we just had for dinner can be detected on our
clothes, hair, skin and the occasional involuntary burp. I like ethnic
food (Thai, Vietnamese, Afghan, etc.) stuff that are heavily spiced.
Should I just stick to meat and potatoes before heading out to a
milonga?
I do avoid carbonated drinks; less chance of burping.

Margaret wrote about having a strong sensitivity to fragrances. So do I.
There are very, very few I can wear myself, and then only something very
light.
I have had a number of very unpleasant occasions when I danced with someone
and their fragrance was so strong (or maybe it had rubbed off on them from a
previous partner) that I ended up reeking of it all night! That is just way
too strong, and even worse if it is a fragrance that you dislike! There are
a few men I don't want to dance with primarily for that reason,
unfortunately. But I have also known a few women whose fragrance you can
smell from a distance (10-20 feet away sometimes), and that is also hugely
overdoing it! Sometimes you don't even have to dance with the person to
have their fragrance rub off on you - it can happen just from a hug!
Cammie.

Suppress the burping buy all means. Do not eat anything with garilic in it,
because that evaporates from your skin and everywhere. Otherwise., I think,
spice should be fine (I never noticed the smell of chili in my hair, after a
meal, so far). If in doubt, I heard, that a glass of milk after a meal can
neutralise the garlic smell. Bring some gurgling solution and rinse after
dinner. Clothes can be changed at the milonga. No need for meat and
potatoes, I think, green curry and lemon grass etc. should be fine.
Healthier too. No?

When I get home from a milonga, I sniff the right shoulder of my
shirt.
Different fragances are delicately interlayered, and I try to
remember who danced with what fragrance, and how it felt.
Olfactory archeology.
I would regret it if the ladies stopped all perfume-wearing. Of
course, overdoing it isn't very nice, either.

In their feud [Stalin and Trotsky] both were right. Stalin was right in
maintaining that his regime was the embodiment of socialist principles.
Trotsky was right in asserting that Stalin's regime had made Russia a hell.
