What's that smell?
 

I have quite an olfactory obsession. As is generally true of all humans, sense of smell is the most closely linked of all the senses to memory and emotion.

Jasmine
Pumpkin
Cinnamon
Natural vanilla
Musk
Hot tar
Skunk (I love that smell)

I hate the smell the guy's in general, me especially.

I have an unbreakable habit of associating memories of people with their perfume/cologne, even if they don't wear it habitually.

I'll be damned if I can remember names or faces no matter how many times I've met a person (I have failed to recognize members of my own family after extended periods without contact), but I will always remember a person's scent.

Take it you've read Perfume then?

I hate cut grass personally! It reminds me of work pushing a lawnmower for 3 1/2 hours cutting greens :S

I like 'girl smell' myself, as long as it's not overpowering. I like subtle girl smell, ones that you catch the barest waft of, affecting but not cloying. Perfume overload is a crime.

Are you referring to the Suskind novel? No, but it looks intriguing.

Girl smell. Hm. I'm not sure what exact smell this is, but yes, I agree.

*dreamy look of resignation*

For a person who seems obsessed with smell you have to read it. I'll send you a copy if you want?

Well it depends which girl smell you're talking about. For me everything goes ^_^

A free book? Hook me up.

You're so getting repped for that.

Not a big fan of perfumes.
Oils are nice in small doses.

Another boost to my ego, horrar. Wlell listen send us your adrees and i'll send it you.

My absolute FAVORITE SMELL OF ALL TIME (as far as 'perfumes' go) is Bath & Body Works Rice Flower & Shea lotion. I refuse to wear anything else. It is an olfactory orgasm.

How do I know you are not the perfume murderer?

Damn, foiled. Right i'm gonna have to find another victim............................................ ..........................................



Do yuo want the book or not?

You don't. That's what makes for hottness.

Isn't he English? The English kill with clever conversation, not half-assed violence. So in a way, I guess he could kill you on here.

coca cola

I thought they killed via English cuisine.

Ohhh burn!

But it's not like we eat shit or anything. It looks like it, but it's not.

The botulism is real, though.

Because clotted sheeps' blood is so much more delectable.

Right, so this thread has gone on for 2 pages and no-one has said they like the smell of their own farts? Losers.

Incidentally, I'm a big fan of the smell of wet concrete, tennis balls, petrol and swimming pools. I don't mind the smell of heroin either, but I try not to spend time where that is likely to be present. This is a serious point, in case anyone's wondering - Smack smells great. But I haven't done it, I might add. Hmm. Why would you care? You wouldn't. I just haven't, all right?

Lightweight.

That's a joke; I haven't done it either. Too much clean-up.

Considering most of the food we eat is the shit from your country. Mcdonalds, Dominos etc. etc.

And truncated seeing as I like you I'll kill you quickly whilst quoting Shakespeare. That good enough for you.

It's very moorish, from what I hear.

I don't know what you're talking about.
I eat middle eastern and asian food mostly.
Point taken though. Glass houses.

Could you make it James Joyce instead? Preferably something from The Dubliners.

Sidenote: the food from American fast food chains over on your side of the pond tastes completely different from what they serve here. Congratulations - you've managed to bastardize food that was shit to begin with.

:eek: They taste different? How?

Freddie is full of shit. As near as I can tell, the English culinary spectrum includes two categories: sausage and pudding. These two categories include any manner of things that are entirely unrelated to one another, yet share the same descriptor. I have never seen so many things called 'pudding' that resemble nothing of the sort. Then again, considering this is a population that freely advertises the consumption of a food with such a pansy-ass name as 'crumpets,' this does not surprise me.

You have no idea how arousing a girl who likes Joyce is to me...

It's blander, yet greasier somehow. And they tend to, em, burn the buns. And whether it's acute occupational dissatisfaction or your innate English surliness, fast-food employees there always look as though they've just finished depositing a large wad of their own saliva in your food.

Freddie, hold off on that murder - I might get some.
