    Oh my. I really don't want my perfume to be more cultured and sophisticated than I am. Which is why I always wear Fantasy by Britney Spears. That way, I can feel superior to the way I smell.

    I'm in-scent-sed! This makes no scents! For opera to de-scent into such olfactory non-scents is ludicrous.

    @birminghamdrunk: God yes. I love the sound of it but fragrances really really irritate my allergies, to the point where I never wear perfume and use unscented deodorant - otherwise the morning ritual involves way too much sneezing!

    This is so cool. Bending art into new ways and incorporating more of our senses... We manipulate scents so much as it is to alter moods (scented candles, perfume, bath and cleaning products) and certain scents have very specific widespread connotations while others are unique to the individual... I would be interested to see how this is recieved by different people, and what sort of moods the scents and music combined evoke.

    Eh, you can get a scent opera on the elevator at your local DMV. It's definitely a struggle between nature and fart in that terrible, confined space.

    I am a total scent snob - can't stand anything too chemically. I'd rather die than have Febreze or Glade in the house - I'm convinced the chemicals give people cancer. It's Mrs Meyers or Seventh Generation for me. Preferably lavander.

    Anyone else buy stuff from Demeter? They make really unusual scents.


    But stay away from the Lobster cologne! Gin and Tonic is really nice...

    @RunningCori: My problem with Demeter is that the scents just don't last on my skin, which, in Gin and Tonic's case, makes me sad.

    i feel like the trend now is to be a scent nazi - either it has to smell like something amazing or not smell like anything at all.


    i like perfume, and i wear it on a daily basis, but i don't smell like a funeral home and no one has ever complained. i do think it's more important to smell good than to look good. let's face it, if you're dressed to the nines and you have b.o., the b.o. cancels out how fabulous your outfit is.

    Y'all, all you need is one of those cheap ceramic rings that goes over a lightbulb. Drip a little essential oil in it sometimes, and you have lavender or jasmine or geranium scented rooms with no toxic chemicals. Aura Cacia also makes some really nice oil blends.

    Dear P&G:

    Kindly cease and desist with your fanciful smells and simply revive the scent of your original clear Ivory Dish Soap. Whatever went in to that heady aroma was crack-nip to this consumer.


    PS Should you make this plea come to fruition, I will discontinue discussions with my attorney regarding your appropriation of my senior art project for your ad campaign. [That should really scare them, whew!]
