Women only trans inclusive This is an inclusive community for all things women. Whether you're here for make up tips, feminism or just friendly chit chat, we've got you covered.
Rules…
- Women only… trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women's community is a good fit for them.
- Don’t be a dick. No personal attacks, no aggression, play nice.
- Don’t hate on groups, hatefilled talk about groups is not allowed. Ever.
- No governmental politics, so no talk of Trump actions etc. We recommend Feminism@beehaw.org for that, but here is an escape from it.
- New accounts or users with few comments may have their posts removed to prevent spam and bad-faith participation.

I'm a highly scent-oriented person and my short answer is "it depends"~. I do often enjoy people's natural odors, including my own, but I might wear a perfume if I want to make a specific impression.
I have like 6 kinds of deoderant/antiperspirant on hand but my go-to if I'm not going out is an unscented probiotic deoderant from a local apothecary that actually works rather well. I'm not sure what sort of benign microbiota it uses but they do a good job of crowding out the bad B.O. bacteria for a couple of days at a time and the organic oils employed as a carrier have an entirely neutral scent.
My go-to scents for casual wear are sandalwood and a floral, usually rose, with some hints of burbon and vanilla from my shaving cream.
One of my remote partners often wears dragonsblood and gifted me a vial that I sometimes wear when I'm feeling especially fond of them.
I don't often go out, but when I do it's usually in the company of other furries, and there's a furry perfumery that makes some scents tailored for our particular tastes. My favorite one is an outdoorsy enby blend, combining masculine and feminine musks with rustic woods, dirt, and wildflowers.
