This morning before my sons left for school I had liberally applied some Light Blue (before showering - after which I decided upon Prada). My oldest son is 13, and he generally likes tropical type scents. My younger son is 8, and he loves just about anything, but he especially loves vanillas.
My Light Blue was freshly sprayed just before the 13 year-old came to kiss me good-bye. "Ack," he said as he hugged me, "something stinks. That burns my nose. It smells like a fruit salad fart - kind of musty." (Ah, the joys of having a teenager in the house). Light Blue starts out heavy-duty cedar on me, but he usually likes cedar.
About 1/2 hour later it was time for the 8 year old Nose to leave for school. He hugged and kissed me and said, "Oh Mommy, you smell so good! You smell like lemons and green apples." ( I definitely preferred this reaction. One never enjoys smelling like a fart, even if it's fruit-salad scented.)
Do you suppose the 1/2 hour between their stated opinions made a difference in how the scent smells, or do their noses pick up completely different notes from my skin? Fascinating to me.
