Eau du poseur? or perfume prodigy?
If you know me, you know I am motivated primarily by smell. I inhale deeply before I eat or buy or use anything .
So I got a kick out of this site.
A friend of mine once had a job naming colors for a carpet company. She loved to make up lipstick color names. However, she did not have a manifesto.
CB shows us that smelly titles can be just as much fun.
The first thing I thought, in fact, was that I could use a good house spray this morning. Because CB could waft into my house and bottle “Essence of I cooked 3 heads of garlic last night trying to get rid of all these tomatoes.”
Lyta, I couldn’t find “Absolute Pissant.” Maybe you could recommend that one.
Some of my own favorite smells: Clean Cubbie, the back of my children’s heads, bleached white towels, pinched basil, old books (but not mildewed books), daphne, dirt, lavender soap. And Chanel No. 5.
Bonus > Guess which four I just had to buy samples of?
