Today, I discovered my new plug-in air freshener smells exactly like my ex-boyfriend's cologne. My friends noticed this, and nobody will believe me when I say it smelled different on the scratch-and-sniff. Now I'm considered a creep. A nostalgic, obsessed creep. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I ran into my ex-boyfriend at the store. Before I knew what was happening, he'd sniffed me and started whimpering about how I don't smell like I used to. He does this kind of crazy shit all the time. FML
Today, I discovered that my expensive new shampoo smells exactly like my ex-girlfriend. So now, whenever I shower, I'm showered with depression. FML
Today, my love life is so pathetic that when I got a sample of cologne in the mail, I kept sniffing it just to remind myself what a guy smells like. FML
Today, I realised that my glade plug-in air freshner lasts longer than any of my relationships have. FML
Today, my loving fiancé informed me that my new perfume makes me smell like a urinal cake. FML
Today, I lied at a store when the checkout person told me the cologne I was buying was for men. I told him it was for my boyfriend. I haven't had a boyfriend in 2 years, I just wanted it to smell like one. FML
Today, I realized that I get turned on by my girlfriend's perfume. My mother started using the same one. FML
Today, my boyfriend was continuously telling me how great my best friend smelled the other night and how I should wear some perfume that smelled like that. I have the same exact perfume and have been wearing it for months. FML
Today, after recently breaking up with my boyfriend, I unknowingly washed my laundry using his washing tabs. My whole wardrobe now smells like my ex. FML
Today, I was walking into class when the guy i like walked in and said "Gross it smells like grandma in here. What, did someone bathe in their perfume today?" I was the only girl in the room and I just bought new perfume. I thought I smelled good, apparently I didn't. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Maybe he didn't wear cologne.... Maybe the scratch & sniff smelled nice to him too

Fyl op, your friends must be the creepy ones if they noticed before you even had time to get rid of it. And while it's true that some scents will always bring back memories, some people just plain get over that shit easier than others. If you like it, keep it, but if not you know what to do:)

air fresheners are not always plug-ins I've found candles and roomspray/airfreshener that smell like mens cologne Yankee candles have some that smell like mens cologne

and for all we know she could have bought a patchouli or sandalwood air freshener without thinking 'hmmm...my ex used to smell like that' I certainly don't think 'hey id better sniff this laundry soap to see id it smells like what my ex uses so I don't buy it'
