Don't say you weren't warned!
Since sandalwood has been a hot topic lately, and it's a note that I really love, I decided to try Santal Noble as my SOTD. I was really fascinated by Vibrant Violet's description of this one in his sandlewood reviews, noting a fecal-like opening. By god, it's really true. It was there in spades for me, but of course only made the scent smell better to me (trying explaining THAT one to your non scent-loving friends! "You know, nothing rounds out a good cologne better than a healthy dollop of whale puke!"
I've always been fascinated by scents used in perfume that would otherwise smell hideous...ambergris, musk, civet, etc...and have read many articles about their history, production (both naturally and chemically), use in perfumes, etc., so I guess "fecal matter" had been on my mind all day as I was constantly looking for it in Santal Noble.
Now, for the horribly crude story....you know the girl in the ad who "has to go, has to go, has to go right now?" Well, I was that person coming home from work and had to get to the porcelain throne immediately...and not to stand up, if you know what I mean...naturally, that meant every possible obstruction would face me. A hideous traffic jam. A line at the grocery store (know how you have a talent for being behind a chick who wants to CHAT with the cashier, while you're dancing a jig behind her....and then she pulls out a CHECKBOOK!!!)...and when I get home and open the gate, the dumb but loveable dog bolts and I have to chase her down two city blocks. By this time, I'm seriously considering not waiting for the toilet anymore and am literally hunched over and sweating...finally I get the dog, head to the head..lol...but wait! There's a new box of perfume on the doorstep!
What a dilemma! Â*But being the dedicated scent addict I am, NOTHING is going to stop me from my new bottle! So I grab it and figure I'll combine two tasks at the same time. The scent is Cofinlixe's Homme de Cafe. I have a seat, open the box, squirt some on my wrist...very nice...then I notice a strong fecal-like opening in the topnote...
Then I say to myself: "Wait a minute, this is no fecal note...this is the REAL THING!"
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR!!!!
Yeah, I know it's crude and not funny, but you know the times you just slay yourself and the fact that no one else thinks it's funny makes it even funnier!!!???
HAR HAR HAR HAR HAR!!!
Lighten up.
