Dear Misce Folk, do you like the flavour of your own scent?
It's time for another misce poll, inspired by the fact that I found peach-flavoured monster ultra at the nearby store and it made me think about how it's sort of interesting that I absolutely love anything and everything peach-flavoured, which is also the base note of my own scent, and I started wondering if liking similar flavours to one's own scent is a common thing for misce folk.
It may be hard to interpret this question if you have a scent that isn't exactly a flavour, if your scent has multiple notes/layers, or is otherwise complex. Here are some examples on how to interpret this poll:
Viable example: your scent is vanilla. Answer the question as "Do you like vanilla-flavoured things?"
Viable example: your scent is equal parts wood smoke and coffee. Answer the question as "do you like foods with a smoky aroma" OR as "do you like coffee and/or coffee-flavoured things?" (Whichever you like)
Viable example: your scent is old books with a side note of whiskey and a very, very faint hint of sea salt. Answer the question as "do you like whiskey, whiskey-flavoured things, and/or foods/drinks that contain whiskey as a flavouring?" (Answer based on the strongest "edible" thing that is a part of your scent)
Viable example: your scent is cigarettes and old leather. Answer the question as "do you like the taste of cigarettes?/do you smoke cigarettes?" (Technically, cigarettes are not eaten, but they are consumed as a flavour in some sense, so they can be counted as somewhat of an exception to the rule. Also no judgement whether you do smoke or not.)
Viable example: your scent is lavender. Answer the question as "do you like lavender tea and/or other lavender-flavoured things?" (It's not a common food flavour, and is more associated with scented items such as candles or soaps, but it does exist as a fairly common flavour of tea. Answer based on this. For other floral type scents, try to figure out if they are often used as flavourings in things- cherry blossoms are often during the spring season, for example, but lily-of-the-valleys aren't, especially since they're poisonous.)
NOT VIABLE: your scent is earth after the rain. While you can technically lick the ground after it rains, you're not going to find it as a flavouring for actual foodstuffs meant to be eaten and enjoyed. Novelty items such as "beanboozled jelly beans" which are meant to taste like inedible things DO NOT count. Please pick the first option ("my scent can't be a flavour")
With that out of the way finally, here's the actual poll;
If you identify as misce (any dynamic), do you tend to prefer foods/treats/drinks/etc things that are flavoured similarly to your own scent?
My scent can't be a flavour. (i.e., gasoline, metal, mud, paint, formaldehyde)
No (my scent would be edible but too weird as a flavour.)
No (my scent is/can be a flavour as well, I just don't like it as a flavour.)
No (other reason)
Yes (my scent is not a common flavour but I like it when I find it)
Yes (my scent is a fairly common flavour, and I like it)
Yes (other reason)
I don't know (haven't tasted it even though it IS a flavour too)
I don't know (other reason)

Feel free to elaborate in the notes! I'm curious to know if this is a common experience for misce folk.
