[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do you live that outside smells so awful? I want to avoid that if at all possible. [/quote] It must be a genetic thing you either notice or don't. Because it's everywhere. The meadows of France, Rome, DC, Arizona, anywhere you're outside and it's warm. [b]YOU probably have this musty "outside" smell, [/b]but don't notice it on yourself. Others sense and immediately know if you've been outside. And it doesn't have to do with sweating or exercising outside - just lingering![/quote] "Outside" does not smell "musty"! "Musty" is the opposite of fresh: how can wind and open air and green things be a "musty" smell? [/quote] Again, I don't know how to explain this to you - it's gotta be like asparagus pee. Some people smell it, others don't. I LOVE being outside. I love nature. I love having the windows open. This is different. Maybe it's the way someone's pheromones react when in contact with sun, air, dirt, dust, pollens, etc. It's not a nice smell. Bless you, that you don't detect this on yourself and others. But google it - it's a very common phenomenon. I just want to know how to minimize it without being a bubble woman or never going outside. https://www.google.com/search?source=hp&ei=sErfXPnLO4OV5wK6j6voDQ&q=why+do+people+smell+like+outside&oq=why+do+people+smell+like+outside&gs_l=psy-ab.12...599.4263..4369...0.0..0.428.2591.31j1j4-1......0....1..gws-wiz.....0..0i131j0.ZfNUpVi5bM0[/quote] I simply plan my outdoor time strategically. This would be different for different people. For me, I have a toddler and can only shower when he’s sleeping. I’m somewhat willing to do a quick hop in, but he’s getting REAL climby, and the two brothers fight and fight sometimes. So. For me I have to do outside just before his nap, or go outdoors in the a.m. before dh leaves for work. Or on other days, if I have zero indoor plans with friends, I’m fine to have the outdoor odor remain on me. [/quote]
