Katie,
Okay, I'm getting to know BLOOD Concept B and, I don't know, it's sort of standoffish in the same way BLOOD Concepts A, AB and O are. I definitely smell some patchouli, and the apple is right out front. But it's not a friendly apple. It's an apple preserved in a dry-ice container, in a cryonics lab. It's the smell of something that once was alive but now is cold and stiff.
I suppose this falls into the category of perfumes the young hipsters might like, and lord knows they can do a lot worse, so I'm not against it. But I'm just old enough to value warmth and comfort. And I already know you're going to call me soft for saying that, and maybe you're right, KP, maybe I am soft, but if anyone tells me this smells better than Coromandel's patchouli, I'll sock them right in the nose. Let's see you call me soft then!
Dan

Okay, let me get this straight: Surprising innovation in indie frags now includes blood and post-coital notes? (BLOOD concept, Secretions Magnifique, etc.) When will I be reading about the new Shittenpisse and VOM lines in KP?
ReplyDeleteOr maybe I'll review ER for this blog - the new scent that simulates being thrown through your windshield and a quick ambulance ride while intubated?
I happen to like Blood Concept B and I'm not even a young hipster.
ReplyDeleteStefush, are you sure "ER" isn't just the working title for Lady Gaga's upcoming perfume?
ReplyDeleteolfactoryobsessed, B was the flavor that struck me as the most forthcoming of the all the BLOODs. I'm always a sucker for patchouli + something. But I'm sure Dan has a point: in a police lineup of patchoulis, B would get hauled off to the hoosegow as a pretender.
As my friend in medical school used to say when we were up to our eyeballs in medical trivia, "I'm not knowing this."
ReplyDeleteI am committed to not knowing about blood (or lymph) concept fragrances, gynecological concept fragrances, urological fragrances, gastrointestinal fragrances, or other bodily system concept fragrances. I am also skipping fuel and other industrial fragrances. You have to know your limits.
Fleurine: I like "I'm not knowing this" as an all-purpose form of self-preservation.
