Good Night, dear CdG LUXE: Patchouli

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
In a nightly ritual, I take my unfinished sample vial before bed and dump the rest onto my chest before hopping into bed. I love to do this with the heavier scents, especially incense based fragrances. I leave the covers off me until I begin to dose off. I let the vapors riseoff me in the darkness. Were I sleep is always very cold. My body heat really rips the fragrance apart and I can get a full spectrum of the scent just laying there.

The other night, three days ago, I decided to wear Comme des Garcons LUXE: Patchouli to bed. I still had about a half ml left in the sample vial so on it went. Sometimes I sleep sans-shirt and that night was the case. Before falling asleep all I could remember was "this stuff is strong and thick and..."

So, tonight, I'm cleaning out some drawers and I kept getting this whiff of the same strong, odd smell. This event isn't too uncommon having many fragrances and samples sitting around. Who knows what has been sprayed where!

I can pick out what these lingering scents were and where they were emanating from. Once I sniffed out an empty Le Male sample hiding under some clothes. This odd scent just kept gnawing at my brain. OK, time to sniff everything in my room.

And you guessed it, it was my bed sheets.All of them. They all smelled of the drydown of CdG LUXE Patchouli. The reason why I was so perplexed was that it was not a good smell at all. To be frank and biased, it smelled like "old man". You know, when grandpa forgets deodorant (at least both of mine did). They certainly didn't smoke hemp!

Now this stuff won't come out of my mattress. Oy!

Spray your mattress with a liberal dose of MCM Success. You will never be able to tell CdG LUXE was ever in your room whatsoever.

There is no known antidote to rid the Success however.....except an epoch or two.

I think if you spray an enzyme on it, it will probably help. However, all of the enzyme sprays have fragrances in them too.

Once I wore Black Orchid to bed and I woke up having nightmares from the smell coming off my body. Never again - it was slightly traumatic. I must stick to simple & comforting fragrances when I jump in bed, but honestly I've never had a scent 'stick' to my mattress. Ick.

I made the mistake of testing Carnal Flower for the first time after returning from a camping trip. My sleeping bag was sitting on the sofa, and I guess when I was putting it away, so transferred onto it. To this day, the stupid sleeping bag stinks like CF drydown-musks. I've washed it a dozen times...doesn't matter.

You can't wash Ropion off.

"You can't wash Ropion off."

ROTFLMAO! Totally quotable, Dane!

Thanks for the giggle :-)

PS: I _LOVE_ CF!
