Here Oooh Yahhh, check out MarkL’s thread -

Your brain may not connect that way, but according to these articles it’s a common reaction. Neither my husband nor I care for foody scents on me. However I get compliments from others when I, occasionally, wear them. I do keep trying, hoping to find a few _that I like_ enough so I can use them to cover/blend with the chocloatini, coconut, and dreaded cookie scent in the women’s products here. Truth is there are plenty of foody scents that go with them, but not that I’m comfortable smelling like.  
I don’t want to spend the day or evening hating the way I smell. I find scents that are overpowering or too sweet or any scent I really don’t like, distracting.

God knows everything is better with bacon. 😉 Inkling, what was that scent you were wearing that smells like bacon? 😃

I’m thinkin’ a nice sensual earthy scent for you, perhaps something along the lines of L’Air du Blewit?

Scroll down passed the Vanilla Bean Noel blends…to the Foody/Bakery/Sweet category. In alphabetical order you’ll find Pumpkin Lavender Vanilla listed right under Pumpkin Bread. 🙂
