Can I Freshen That Up For You?

   And you feel as if you're drowning in a sea of cheap perfume.
   My mother used to say she was very sensitive to smells. She'd spray the Lysol around the house like a SWAT team softening up a target with tear gas. Care must be taken when we scent our homes and our persons. A beautiful hippie girl floating by on a cloud of petchouli ; Ah  'tis heaven. Some dude, shirt unbuttoned, flaunting his pelt, drenched in British Sterling  cologne( my favorite from my James Bond period) , heaven it ain't.
    A gracious smelling home will not come from anything you plug into an electrical socket. Likewise, personal aromas shouldn't come from macys. For men and women, a couple of drops of maple syrup behind each ear is what I recommend.
    For the home , you already know. Onions,  saute'ed in olive oil  , dude.
   Words we never want to hear.             "Whoah, what's that smell?"
