His smell....

[Unicorn26]

I just ordered a t shirt for my man for Christmas and wanted to make sure I had the sizing right. On the last day of my visit I stole his t shirt that he'd worn the day before I left, he knew about it and was fine with it. I wrapped it in a plastic bag and I just got it out for the first time since I've been back so I could measure it and make sure the new one I ordered was correct.

Holy sh*t the smell of him was still so strong on it! Ugh, I miss him soooooooooo much! Distance SUCKS! I hate Christmas and I hate not being with him for special times.

For you lucky people on here who are getting to spend the holidays with your loved ones, appreciate every second, I am happy for you but also jealous! :'(

Oh wow, congratz on having it in plastic bag for such a long time! I do that too, with ziplock bags, but I take his shit out way too often and wear it, so after a month the smell is completely gone. And sometimes I'm weak enough to sleep in it, knowing very well that his scent will be gone in the morning

I have 3 shirts that he wears for me .. I switch them off when his smell starts to fade a bit. Get more shirts!!!!

I have what used to be his cardigan... I have never washed it and like to imagine that his smelll is still in it. I wear it when I miss him. I can't really wear his t-shirts, he is like half my size!

Also, I have very distinct smell memories from him (which are very special to me, because I have a weak sense of smell, but I find his smell to be very distinct). It is one of my fav fantasies to just close my eyes and imagine that he is there and that I smell the mix of his perfume and the skin of his neck. It soothes me so so much.

lol same, my bf is humongously tall so his shirts are like dresses on me. I've taken to wearing them to bed at night sometimes, like sleeping with him all around me .

OP props on keeping his shirt tucked away for so long to preserve the smell, i cry all over his shirts after he leaves n cling to them where i need to end up washing them lol. Ask him for some of his cologne, or whatever it is that makes the "him" smell (deodorant, after shave, etc..) Once at the end of a visit my bf's cologne was almost gone but still had some left so he just let me keep it and i can just smell the nozzle on the bottle and it floods me with memories and emotions. -sigh-

He is a little short for a Turkish boy, I am a little above hight for a Norwegian girl. Some people think I am very tall but I just have a large upper body, so I look tall when I sit down. I am not THAT much taller than him, but he is slim and I am busty, rather muscular plus I have this looong stomach, so his clothes have to be very loose to fit me.

He wears or sleeps with my clothes sometimes. And I know he keeps the bed sheets for like super long just so he can smell my smell.

I'm sending my SO something with my favourite scent on it this Christmas. I hope he'll like it

I wish I had his shirt that smelled like him! I used to do that in my last LDR and it just felt amazing to smell it! My ex also had this specific deodorant that he loved, so I got that and put it on the shirt whenever it stopped smelling like him. This time I dont have any of that and it makes me sad sometimes when I miss him and just would put on the shirt and smell it! But he doesn't use cologne or a specific smelling deodorant, so I dont have that option.

I spray his cologne on my pillow at night. It's my favorite smell!

[WarwickGuy]

She has one of my hoodies that she wears at home sometimes and I have a pair of her PJs in a sealed bag (sounds a bit creepy but that's what she gave me). I was asked by my father why I had them and when I said because of her smell he just stared at me in complete disbelief.

And don't worry Unicorn26, you're not alone in feeling jealous of other couples this Christmas.

Liking this idea. Next time I'm stealing more!!!

[farandaway]

I don't have his smell but we're equally tall so I wear his sweaters, shirts and socks. I prefer those to any jewellery!

i used to do it "grandma style" and sprayed my perfume in the care packages i sent him. He would sniff the letters whenever he felt stressed out.

I do this too. I left an almost empty bottle of perfume before I left too. I sprayed it in his bed before I left and he text me that night saying he could smell me in his bed and he missed me.

I have one of his shirts. I'll probably let him have that one back and borrow another one until March when he visits. It's long lost his smell though.
