Have you ever been complimented on your fragrance…

…when you weren’t wearing any? And what might have accounted for it?

(Disclaimer: I'm severely hyposmic and synaesthetic, meaning that my perceptions may not reflect common experience.)

I’ve had this happen specifically on my way home from outdoor music festivals: redolent of late spring-to-early-autumn seasonal flora, the sizzling aromas of food stalls, the saturated head-shop funk of incense/candle/fragrance oil vendors, and…whatever else might be wafting through the air at outdoor music festivals.
