Have you ever wondered what Chanel perfume would smell like if you mixed it with cheese?
It’s disgusting.
Whenever I eat pizza I have to wash my face to get rid of the dairy smell. If I’m at home I’ll take a shower, which is my preferred option because the dairy stink kinda gets all over you.
One night I ate a whole pizza and then was too tired to shower. Due to the fact that I ate the entire pizza a face wash wouldn’t do. I couldn’t sleep because I kept smelling dairy, so I had the brilliant idea of putting perfume above my top lip so that would be all I’d smell. I chose Chanel Chance because I don’t often wear it as it’s too strong. (Also, I don’t know, but when I wear strong perfumes I feel like I’m saying, “Hey, come sex me!” And that’s awkward.)
I felt so sick. It smelled like someone dumped a vat of Chanel in a vat of melted cheese, and I ended up having to take a shower because I couldn’t ignore it.
I’ve asked many of my friends if they notice “dairy face” after they consume pizza, milk, ice cream, etc. Almost all of them had no idea what I was talking about! Manuela knows exactly what I’m talking about, but that’s because she also rarely eats dairy. I’ve heard certain Asian cultures (where dairy is consumed at a minimum) think Westerners smell like milk. I used to not think this was true, but in the past couple of years I’ve largely stopped eating dairy and now the smell of it makes me sick so I think it must be true!
My question to you: Do you notice dairy face?

OMG I saw that. And apparently there’s a Burger King scent.

Eww, would that just be the scent of old deep-fryer oil?

Yeah, I can notice, actually. Then again my parents gave me oddball nostrils in that I could switch out the odours and aromas. (Parents also gave me strange ears too, so that I could even switch out languages that I know – including English! – so they sound like foreign languages to me. But that’s another story.)
A lot of Chinese/Asian people can small dairy because their diets are principally non-dairy. In return, how many Westerners can notice the stale vegetable smell of most Asians?
re: Pizza Hut and Burger King scents – Ughh! Thanks, but no thanks!

They must think we smell so gross! Unless they love the smell of old milk …
I think I also have a very sensitive nose! Which is good I guess!
I want to meet a person who has actually bought those scents. Just to know what kind of person would!

Hm…I don’t think I’ve ever noticed, but, I did grow up in a Western home with tons of dairy, so maybe I’m just used to it.
When I read your post title, I was just like, “um…no?”
I can only imagine how awful that smelled!!

Ha, I can’t say that I’m familiar with “dairy face” but we eat way too much dairy around here, so I’m sure I’m just used to it! I’ve definitely been thinking recently that we need to cut back a little, but it’s so hard! And Annabel lives on milk half the time because she refuses to eat almost everything these days:(

Well then you’ll have to let me know in a few months when you cut it out! I think even if you just cut it down to a little, you’ll notice. I haven’t totally cut it out, but now even if I eat a couple slices of cheese I definitely notice the smell!
