21 Jun
Summary
- Wade finds his wife's custom scent mixtures incredibly arousing.
- He believes fragrance is essential for men's self-care and confidence.
- Wade learned about scents from his father and uncles as a child.

Dwayne Wade recently shared intimate details about his relationship with wife Gabrielle Union at the Fragrance Foundation Awards. He confessed that Union's ability to mix different scents and lotions is particularly arousing for him, signaling the start of a good evening. This personal insight comes as Wade serves as a global ambassador for a men's fragrance line, aiming to boost men's confidence in wearing scents.
Wade encourages men to embrace fragrances as a way to feel stylish and confident, rather than smelling 'musty.' He views scent as an integral part of self-care, a practice he's embraced more fully since retiring from the NBA. His appreciation for fragrances began in childhood, influenced by his father and uncles.
The former NBA star also discussed his evolving perspective on self-care, noting that many practices previously considered feminine are now embraced by him. He and Union regularly get facials, a routine that helps him manage skin issues exacerbated by Miami's humidity during his 16-year tenure with the Heat.
