I don't know what another woman tastes/smells like but I taste myself quite regularly and it's pretty good. I also douche once a month, right after my period. I know it's not recommended but it does smell better afterwards. as far as my husband's taste/smell, I love it! but there are times when he's just come home from work and expects me to orally please him. I will attempt to do so but once the funk of sweaty balls hits me, I make him go wash before anymore happens. but his natural, manly smell is intoxicating.
