I met a sweet girl from Mongolia last night.
( more on that in another post )
She loves perfume and, at 18, would like to know more.
I rounded up, therefore, some unneeded vials (so many ! so many many perfumes are shit!) – and flushed their contents down the toilet.
Rinsing, soaking, soaping, sieving, rewashing the glass like some eager beaver in the Klondike goldrush the vials are now almost dry and ready for refilling – I am looking forward to deciding what to give her.
Returning to the water closet now though – sweet Jesus has the climate changed in there.
Where usually there would be incense, instead there was the very real and intensively irritating smell of an obnoxious dunderhead- some really dumb jock – so many fragrances are IQ lowering , particularly the industrial musks and woody ambers – with his legs spread out mansplaining in some palace of morons.
My mind aperture clogged unexpectedly with Objectionable Everything and the great nerve-crudding flood of industrial waste ( I had forgotten about The Flushing) I was transported, suddenly, to a bigoted, thicker realm.
Ugh !
What I put into those vials will be so, so, so much nicer
Incense = 100 per cent necessary in this area of the household
Honestly just now when I went in it was as if SOMEONE WAS THERE
terrifying
Ah, the painfully predictable cocktail of men’s colognes—Ambroxan, Iso E Super, and those blaring, white musks—an olfactory wallpaper of banality masquerading as machismo.
I’ve been blending tea tree, spikenard, and eucalyptus oils with white vinegar into a bathroom cleaner, (perfect for the Himalayas’ stubborn hard water) works a treat!
Ah ! the mind freshens just reading this
This was a house invasion
THERRR IS. AN. INTRUDRRR
I can’t imagine myself being able to say to someone “you smell like a moron”, though this makes me want to.
!!!
Yes – it’s a bit arrogant, I also think so – but I believe it to be deeply true
I do hope the vials can be completely cleared of remnants of the clingy, obnoxious stuff, and soap too!
Sorry for the rudely late reply
Yes : I was quite assiduous – though can’t assure pristine perfection ( test drove all of them though and think they were up to scratch )
Stocks dwindling now… things aren’t the same for me any more
Not rude at all! I have a few friends who still use email to keep in touch over decades and we might reply to each other after several months or longer. Blogs should be fun and without pressure!
Sounds like the vials suit the job just fine. 😊 I hope your new friend enjoys this adventure!
You are too nice. I agree with all of the above – but then just not responding, or thinking you have because you replied in your head but didn’t actually put your fingers on the keyboard- strikes me as a very contemporary etiquette issue that I fail on a regular basis!
Darn it …. just discovered Word Press has been losing my comments again. All I said was that I actually have a Bamford Incense Diffuser in my cloakroom and it smells heavenly.
I very much like the sound of that! Sorry the comments keep disappearing – I have no idea why – but thanks for making the effort to write the comment again. x
