It's effective Chip repellent. I went to college with way too many deadheads who used that stuff in lieu of showers and basic hygiene. I have a physical reaction when I smell it now.
Oh, it's a Michelle repellent too, but this has the very faintest smell so it isn't so bad to smell entirely like Patchouli.
Yes, when I looked it up and showed him the pics on Google they are all of people with dreadlocks, stoners, Deadheads, weed, etc.
I loved going to Dead concerts and the whole culture (but I never EX-haled) because I, too, went to college with a lot of them but I agree the scent is not for me and DEFINITELY not to be used as substitute for bathing. Ish. I was just so surprised that he had never even heard the word. And he has been in many a head shop.
Another scent I can't stand is baby powder, especially in women's perfume. Gag. Or cigars. I don't even have to smell one, something in one just hits me like a ton of bricks into a horrendous migraine before the actual cigar smell is detected. I am SO glad they don't allow it in the casino we work at!
And folks, if you are going to take a plane/train trip, PLEASE shower before you board and skip the perfume or cologne. We were in France and took a 2 hour train ride north and there was someone in the general area of where we were sitting that apparently thought bathing and deodorant were optional. I spent the entire two hours with my head against the window with a scarf over my face and breathed in the air coming from the small vent below the window. THAT is an odor that lingers in your nostrils and clothes for a long time. And I missed so much of the French countryside that I had looked forward to, but when your eyes and nostrils are burning you have to pick your priorities.
Sorry for the rant and novella, but the Ambien is kicking in and it is time for a little Bejeweled and Judge Judy reruns to put me to sleep. I am a simple woman.
