i didnt say oils. oils were everywhere and natural.

as an early scent wearer, it's only funny you just "got into scents" and now you're mansplaining common facts and being quirky about it and saying stuff is gonna sell out forever now that you've discovered it

[ilikeplanets]

She said it, I thought it

[slunken]

okay okay I'm gonna take an L on this one

[slunken]

nobody bats 1000

[slunken]

"slunken you're so brave for admitting that, we love you"

"omg you're so handsome and honest"

[slunken]

Finally gripped some Kiehl's Original Musk Oil EDT spray after it being impossible to get and sold out for like 2 years

[slunken]

[slunken]

"love oil"

haha

[slunken]

does anyone remember "smell good" or was that just a regional thing that used to be sold by street vendors in the hood 20 years ago?

Cannot wait until marketers move beyond this obnoxious "Our Story:" era where every goddamn product and company need a fucking made-up narrative about their pure, simple, family-style origins

I don't need to hear that Dave Thomas first crafted his Big Bacon Classic as a boy on a farm with all-natural farm-raised ingredients and it became traditional fare in his close-knit community I just want to eat a fucking burger in peace, fuck off brands, fuck off advertisers

Honestly if I see the word "apothecary" on a product I dash all of it on the store floor, I'm not a part of your system

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND

i still regularly see guys wearing bandoliers of small vials of smell-good. it just means cologne, i've been hearing that name for it since i was in middle school

[ilikeplanets]

Hey man, you got that smell-good?

[slunken]

are you guys messing with me?

it was basically just a watered down blend of a few essential oils

i swear it was called smell good!

lol it does stink, doesn't it?

this however was first introduced in 1963

[slunken]

come to think of it, doesn't old spice pull that shit now, too?

[slunken]

oh yea they had that ad campaign that was like "if your grandfather didn't wear it, you wouldn't be here"

despite the fact that old spice was originally designed for a woman as basically musk + vanilla

[slunken]

got just drunk enough last night that I almost bought this. Poured the remaining tester I had on my arm and fell in love with it.


It smells like hay and my grandpa's barn. So dry hay, cowshit, old urine-soaked wood, and animal fur. Thankfully talked myself out of it (money reasons). Really nostalgic scent for me. Maybe someday.

[slunken]

It's like 90 for an oz but only 120 for 3 oz so obviously you have to get the big bottle

[slunken]

I tend to stay away from modern niche houses but this brand is really doing some interesting things. I think the lady that runs it is like a history professor or something.

[slunken]

My bottle of Kiehl's got shipped to the wrong address. UPS is 0/3 for me recently. Ordered a new bottle.

Sitting here fondling a bottle of Aramis Devin and spritzing myself every few minutes like a crackhead.

[slunken]

Constantly striving to be unhurried.

Imagining it smelling like licorice and harsh peppermint

[slunken]

yea it's way smarter to pay for dumb bitch juice that has a devoted marketing company behind it.

think with your head man.

[slunken]

of course the musk oil i had to re-order is shipping from the UK god fucking dammit

[slunken]

almost stopped off at the mall on the way home from work to pick up a tester of ANGEL in the glass chard bottle just because I don't have one

[slunken]

tried to google if it's ever been used as a murder weapon
