So I am getting on the elevator in the building where my bank is located, and a man in a track suit that I had never seen or met before gets on board with me. After a few minutes he starts waving his hands in front of his nose with a scowl and says: "what is that smell?? Some kind of cough drop?" I replied that it was patchouli, a favorite scent of mine. He dashed off the elevator as if I had offered to behead his pet ferret. So, as was my intent, I went to see my banker and while I am seated there, two women walk by and one of them says: "wow, you smell good, what is that?" No two people are likely to have the same reaction to something are they? I love patchouli. It reminds me of the 70's. I will continue to wear it, and if pushed, I may macrame a little pouch to carry it in around my neck!
