OMG! I know just what you mean, Lor.
One time, “The Man” just appeared, as he is wont to do some weekends. By this I mean, like he had been out clubbing with “The Boys” and they all started moaning about life the universe and everything, and he decided since I was not out that night, it would be a great idea to just arrive to get some tlc - drunk and disorderly (great, unless like me, you have been right in the midst of a Scry and have a full altar set up - and even though he knows full well you practice, there are just SOME things he ain’t allowed to see) anyway, I digress. He was coming up the stairs, and I thought, "Oh bugger, no time to get to my trusty pheromone box, so as I always have a bottle of Essence of Woman in my bedside table, I literally grabbed a cotton bud (Q-tip) and swiped some Essence of Woman into my cleavage, and at the back of my neck grabbing a bottle of vanilla and musk oil to dab on in around ten minutes. I then threw the cotton bud in the kitchen bin and thought no more about it.
a LONG time later (^_~) “The Man” decided he wanted some water so he trailed to the fridge..
“Ail…did you chop up a mango tonight?” Mmm..that smells good. Think you might have a fragrance something like that. Mmmm.."
Intrigued, since I detest mango AND fruity fragrances, I waited until he had gone to the bathroom, and went into the kitchen to investigate.
Now..I have one of those bins (trash cans - see I’m learning the lingo..) in the kitchen that seals and shuts and ONLY opens and closes when you talk to it (yes…I LIKE gadgets) so it was sealed TIGHTLY shut. The smell of Essence of Woman however, was unreal, and since it didn’t get the chance to meld with my body chemistry, it just smelled (to me) like straight Essence of Woman! Even though it was after 4 in the morning, I raced down to the wheelie with the inner liner, and back upstairs. Thankfully, the Essence of Woman smell did not linger once I had eliminated the source..
What was most interesting about this, is “The Man” has one of the keenest and MOST sensitive noses out, and yet, he thought Essence of Woman smelled like mango! Maybe 'cos he was inebriated, but still..
I definitely think it gets fruity after around ten minutes of me applying it straight to my skin, prior to me coveing it, but it sure as heck doesn’t smell that way when on a cotton bud, lying in your bin!
Never again. Rollerball all the way..
Ail
