Lavender Magic Markers
Sometimes I wonder whether I'll ever finish sniffing my way through the house of Lush. And the answer is: No! Only yesterday I read that they are about to release twelve (count 'em, 12) new "perfumes". The scare quotes are entirely intentional.
With a lavender bath on the horizon, I decided to ferret through my box of Lush samples (they are kept in quarantine, all alone...) for something containing lavender. There it was in bold white on black: lavendula angustifolia, the SECOND ingredient listed (right after alcohol), on the label for Lush COCKTAIL.
So, yes, lavender looms large and loud--no surprise there. But far more remarkable to my nose are the strong magic marker facsimile fumes which emerge within a couple of minutes after applying this "perfume". Wow, this smells great--but only because I love the scent of magic markers. I was always a prime candidate for toxic fume addiction--from glue, markers, aerosol cans, gasoline nozzles, or whatever--but fortunately I was protected by my limited access to such things.
Here the moment of magic marker sniffing has been captured in a vial for me by Simon, as if by design, knowing as he must by now how I feel about him, the no-holds-barred mixed essential oil man.
Thank you, Simon!
