Helloooo, ladies!
I'm hoping you're not a straight guy, but if you are it's pretty clear you don't get laid regularly.
sadly i never asked if she really did smell it and then what happened.
In my case, the dude in question had a reduced sense of smell because of the C-PAP machine that kept him alive while he slept. He didn't believe me that he reeked of pussy and that if he kissed any human woman with that face she would know how he'd spent his day. But I never did ask the followup questions.
Seriously, I do find the scent a little not quite fishy, a little not quite fruity, and a little almost boozy all mixed together. But then again, I use a C-PAP to keep the cat off my face while sleeping.

Maybe LW's BF went for curry for lunch?
How about this: pretty solid circumstantial evidence aside— when your first thought is "he's cheating", and your second thought is, "I'll see if Dan Savage thinks I should dump him", um... this is not the person you should be marrying.
Also, when you kiss a bearded man, his beard does not normally smell like what he's been eating. His breath may, and you can taste it on his tongue, but normally he doesn't shove his face in a plate and get stuff all over his beard...like he would when he's giving a woman some oral lovin'.
My $.02, as the owner of a snatch, is that it's most likely he's having sex with someone else on the side. Not definitively, but it's the most likely explanation. Either that or the OP has an illness that makes her hallucinate smells and makes her paranoid.
More to the point, though, this is an issue of trust. Either she has a good reason to think he's screwing around on her, or she's a crazy, jealous bitch.
Either way, he's probably better off without her. He should dump her.
So, yeah. It's a unique smell!
I don't know if there's another explanation here, but if starting now he starts occasionally coming home with his beard smelling like soap... there's your answer.
My partner has a beard and he for sure smells like yummy pussy after going down. He washes his face and beard afterwards. I've never smelled anything like it, and I'm pretty familiar with the scent. Mine and otherwise.
So maybe Mr. Beard had just had an innocent sushi lunch.
After all, if there are vaginal secretions, there's probably year-old peanut butter too. Yeeech!
Keep on lickin'
If it tastes like flounder
Go around 'er
I retain a goatee because (I think) it hides how fat my face has become, and my distressing lack of chin.
My facial hair has never, to my knowledge, smelled like any sort of female "business". But there have been times it has smelled like sloppy foods I have eaten.
Do with that what you will.
Just a thought.
I had to learn that after having made some pizza for my father and uncles. It was not as fun an experience as you might imagine.
Now, some women's pussies have a slight pungent smell of ozone...but only if they are not particularly clean.
LW: Unless your guy has been working on high voltage electronics or has been doing some soldering, then he has been eating out some chick with a slightly unclean vag.
But guys have tasted different to me too, some salty, some more kinda earthy.
Although these responses have all been somewhere between enlightening & almost distressing, @51 has it. Talk to him! Be helpful if you can find a way to bring it up that isn't all YOU'VE BEEN SNACKING ON SOMEONE ELSE'S LUNCHBOX, I JUST KNOW IT. Ask what he had for dinner. & if he asks why, go from there, I guess.
*shrug* Doesn't sound like you trust him, AND who wants to marry a guy who doesn't know how to wash out his facial hair, no matter who or what he's been eating?
Dirty beards are gross.
Is there pussy in Seattle?
This sentence has really confirmed my gayness more than anything I've ever read in my life.

Women don't like beards because they detest a man with a threatening visage and prefer only easily-dominated beta-males.
I'm just thankful that Mr Savage had to outsource this one.
A) Does she know what other pussy actually smells like?
Sure there is a distinct odor to individuals but in all honesty a wide range of olfactory stimuli en masse. I am sure she has smelled her own, but our association with our own bodies is a lot more tempered (rather, we think we smell better than we actually do most of the time.) So what she MIGHT think HER pussy smells like, in fact, is akin to prosciutto.
B) How often does he wash his beard? This will get technical but a few days worth of saliva, flesh, hair, and food particles can pretty easily make a scent that is eerily close to a labia.
C) (Which I would put money on) It could be a case of super psycho cold-feet, creating a bizarre scenario with her fiance to play victim when everyone finds out that she DTMFA.

That said, the smell is never has never been strong as it is when I go down on someone.
The most obvious answer would be that it's probably your pussy on his face, since your perception of what your pussy smells like on you vs on someone else is totally different, just like when you think you sing awesomely but really sound like a dying sheep to others. The only way to know for sure would be to have a third party (or parties) smell your pussy, then smell his face and ask some simple questions:
Do they both smell like pussy?
Do they smell like the same pussy? (sweetness, saltiness, etc).
That seems like a lot of trouble to go through when talking it out and doing some additional investigation might reveal the truth faster.
In other news, my ex came home from a work party and went right to the bathroom to brush his teeth before kissing me. That's when it ended.
Yeah, she should communicate and be aware and not dump the guy necessarily, but pussy-on-beard is a pretty good sign that something is amiss.
Sounds like she wants to bail based on limited evidence, lack of trust and probably limited experience with the wide range of pussy smells. If he did have pussy smell on his beard he will likely never own up to it anyways. So talking about it may be pointless.
Dan said that he couldn't "rattle off the names of what else you might've been smelling on your boyfriend's face." The joke was pointing out Dan has somehow never heard of the stereotype that pussy smells like fish.
1) It's the LW's pussy. Some women have a particularly assertive (not necessarily unpleasant) musk that can hang around hairy bits for a long time. (I had a girlfriend like this once, and my junk always smelled a little like hers while we were together, even after bathing.)
It's also worth pointing out the the LW is not a good judge of whether she falls into this category, because she smells herself all the time.
2) Odors and flavors are complex, the result of many chemical components. Some are water soluble, and will go away with a quick splash on your face/beard. Others are more lipid-soluble, and you really have to scrub to get them out. In other words, the beard could be acting as a crude chemical filter, and possibly retaining a component of something that smells a bit like pussy, even if the food that left it there does not smell like pussy itself.
There are probably a lot of pungent foods (cheeses, mushrooms, fish, shellfish) that could do this, at least theoretically.
3) Sensory perception is highly suggestible. If you have other reasons to think your boyfriend is cheating, you may have been anticipating smelling another woman on him, and did.
Well, a 'beard' makes one seem more masculine than otherwise---that's why it's named after the term for a woman married to or dating with a gay man to make him seem more manly (for barbarous definitions of 'manly' and inaccurate suppositions about homosexuality).
Then he said, the bigger issue here is if you really can't believe his explanation then you should break up, because either you can't trust him, and he's lying and cheating on you = DTMFA;
or, he's looking you straight in the eye and telling the truth and you don't believe him, and in that case the guy deserves someone else, so dumping him would be doing him a favor.
Or he's cheating.
Also, is she suuuuuure she knows what pussy smells like? Not just her own, but other people's?
Years ago my daughter was in the dollar store and found cheap incense called "Pussy." There a picture of a fluffy black cat on the package. We had a cat a lot like that and she was just old enough to know the various meanings of the word, so she bought it as a joke. It smelled exactly like you would expect dollar store incense to smell (like dead artificial flowers and old lady perfume) so we only burned it once. But we kept it around for laughs.
I brought it out at a small party once. All straight women except for a friend's boyfriend, whom I was just getting to know. All the women joked about what pussy incense would smell like: vag? cat box? wet cat? kitten? And the advantages and disadvantages of each smell.
I finally said (rather loud and drunkenly) "However you define it, why incense? Why would you ever want your whole house to smell like pussy?" Justin waited for the laughter to die down and quietly said, "Oh, I don't know . . .."
I knew right then (well, after I caught my breath and cleaned my spit take off the front of my shirt) my friend had chosen well.
