I am often surprised to see perfume listed as a top-tier gift recommendation. In my view, strong scent is an operational liability.

Discretion isn't confined to digital hygiene; it includes the totality of sensory evidence left behind. If a man returns to a sensitive domestic environment or a crowded boardroom carrying a "signature" fragrance on his collar, he is managing a risk he shouldn’t have to. A single embrace can transfer enough notes of *Baccarat Rouge* to trigger an interrogation.

The goal is an "olfactory blank slate". We leave the encounter like we leave a campground: with no trace of us having been there (only great memories).

Scent is tied strongly to memory as we all know. But it is also, worryingly, linked to discovery. I’m curious: has a lingering fragrance ever caused a "close call" for anyone here? For those of you who wear perfume, I'd love to hear your respectful disagreement with my argument.

Huh.  OK.

I see a provider who has a perfume on her gift list.  In all the times I've seen her, I have never, ever, smelled ANYTHING on her or in her incall.  Just because she likes perfume, doesn't mean she wears it with clients.

Perhaps you have a different experience.  If so, ask her to not wear it for your appointment.

ADDED:  I see now you're a provider?    I agree, I wouldn't want a provider to wear a scent during an appointment.

I feel like if you're giving it as a gift none of what you said applies. If I'm giving perfume as a gift (I almost never do to anyone tho but more on that later) I don't expect her to use it right away or maybe even with me.

 
Perfume as a gift generally seems very preference based. Unless a woman explicitly asks for a specific perfume I'm never touching that idea as a gift. It's too personal and particular. Even for guys who are generally less picky with fragrances, you probably wouldn't want to give perfume as a gift unless you know exactly which type and which brand he likes.

 

I do agree about smells lingering, and in general seeing an escorts I prefer minimal smells while in session. Scented soap or oil or crazy perfume are definitely not something I really like. And I don't have a so or anything, but excessive smells tends to linger and I'm not a fan of having an orchard fruity smell on me when I'm going to a bar or maybe see my old folks or friends who have no idea I monger, after a session.

When I was married, or had a significant other I did care about scent  it does tend to linger.

I personally don’t wear a large amount of anything.

I’m not sure I understand your question.  

 
Obviously you’re right, a lot of clients worry about odors being the reason they get caught. Some go shower at the gym before heading home or only play when they’re out of town or whatever. What has that got to do with giving perfume as a gift? Just because I give it to her doesn’t mean she has to spray it all over herself during our visit.  

 
I like it when a provider’s website includes her favorite perfume and have given it to several women. It’s easy to find, easy to wrap, and if it was on her site then I don’t have any “hopefully she likes it” stuff to think about. The only better gift is cash. The response is usually “Aawwwe you read my website!!” Followed by a big kiss.  

 
I don’t have an SO and don’t really care what I smell like when I leave. Ideally I walk out with my beard smelling of fresh vulva, but if some of her perfume or body butter or whatever is also in the mix, I don’t really care. It’s a trigger for good memories over the next couple hours.  

 
I actually sometimes request no perfume or deodorant but not because I’m worried about getting caught. It’s a preference. I’d rather be smelling and tasting HER. The aromas of the body, pheromones and whatnot, I guess I’m… earthy. Or whatever.  

 
Anyways, none of that precludes perfume as a gift. I wouldn’t pick one out for a lady randomly, but if it’s on her site or we have a conversation about what she likes then it can be a good gift.  

 
Not for nothing, but if a wife is suspicious then she will find a way to confirm it. A couple platonic female friends have told me that when they were suspicious of their ex, they pulled his dick out and smelled it the second he walked into the house. Some condoms have a stronger and more lingering smell than any perfume. Just saying.

Had the same thought, why jump from a gift to what the lady does during/for a session?

 
I would add that similar discussion have occurred in the past, both about perfumes and soaps and massage oils.  Everyone generally seems to think if you have someone you are cheating on then new scents coming home (or even back to the office) can be very problematic.

I happen to know that these gifts of perfume are highly appreciated.  Personally I tend to remember the gentleman who gave me the perfume often when I am using it, bringing back fond memories long after the session has passed.  

Perfume isn't the only scent from a session that can linger. There is an easy and obvious solution for this: shower + soap

Most of my clients, especially those who have an S.O., use my shower and use the scent-free products I keep on hand, before leaving. No one in a boardroom would notice, care about, or mention such a thing.

A client who has a super sniffer S.O. can simply ask a lady not to use any scented products (lotion, deodorant, perfume, hair product) at the time of booking.  

As others have said, gifts are not necessarily for use during the session.

perfume that your wife/SO uses, that might solve that problem.
Or give your SO/wife the same one you gave to your favorite provider!

unintended consequences:   Years ago I saw a provider who left a lipstick impression on my white-shirt collar.  I got home late, stuffed the shirt in the hamper and washed the lipstick out in the sink the next day.  But of course, the shirt was now wet and wrinkled.  I let it dry and decided to touch it up with an iron.  That's when the iron hit the collar and I discovered that the lipstick had penetrated the fabric.  The iron melted the remaining lipstick and lifted it to the surface.  Her kiss mark appeared again in dazzling red, much to my horror.  I stuffed the shirt into my briefcase and pitched it into a trash bin.

i love receiving perfumes from my wishlist but am fully aware that wearing them is a liability. i encourage everyone to shower after our dates. i also have a fragrance-free option that can be selected on my booking form if we want to be extra careful, in which case i’ll use unscented body care products.

Most clients that have this concern will specifically ask for no scents. I have unscented soap I can use for myself and also available for use to my clients before they leave if they need it. Some men are single and enjoy the extra scents. This is why it’s important to communicate your preferences before a session. Most providers will accommodate this no problem. Asking for it on a gift list definitely does not mean we wear it during every appointment.

Well---I prefer no fragrances if at all possible......those of us who are married or other wise shacking up----can't risk the outcome of perfume odors that are not that of the wife or shack up ----and for obvious reasons.....

I recall a session a long time ago with a really terrific gal---after the 2 hours were up---we decided to go to dinner----during the emotion of the encounter I didn't really notice her perfume----but....once we drove to and from the short distance from the hotel to the restaurant---her scent lingered in the car.......fortunately I was out of town but drove home the next morning---the scent was still strong....but I escaped unnoticed until the next day----when "We" were headed somewhere---I came up with a pliable excuse which seemed to have worked that at the meetings I had been to earlier in the week one of the gals that worked with our company ---who the wife had not met---was at the meeting---so my logic for the still lingering scent was that we all went to dinner and two of us drove and she was in my car and I had been living with that scent now for like 3 days.....it finally dissipated.....so.....why a fella would gift a gal a scent that she may or may not even like makes no sense to me---why not tip her extra cash or gift her a gift card to a place she enjoys shopping---I like Visa or Master Card gift cards because they can be used for anything anywhere from personal items to groceries !

Ozium, a spray found at any hardware store, kills odors in cars, etc.

 
Let the car sit overnight after spraying and then drive it for a few minutes with the windows down, the the odor will be gone.

 
So good that you can smoke in a rental car, then use the Ozium, and the rental place will never know the difference.

Years ago I met a girl who helped me disrobe. The underwear I was wearing had a distorted stretched waistband from too many washings. She threw my underwear out and then gave me a brand new unopened package of boxers. She said a client gave her several, apparently he would wear the new boxers home. Guess he was paranoid or needed a "shopping" excuse? Anyways that could spawn a whole different discussion thread. The girl had already thrown my underwear in the trash so I wasn't wearing that, so I wore the new boxers home. Problem is, I don't normally wear boxers so first chance I get I change, toss the boxers in bathroom trash bin, and conveniently trash day was the next day so I throw them out.

Thoughtful, and well-said!
