July 2008

There are smells -- as I'm sure Pig Pen from the Peanuts Comic Strip would agree -- that you are unlikely to forget. Most smells make you want to block your nose completely and wish you had a cold. No amount of spritzing yourself with good ol' fashioned Charlie or even a Glade house scent will keep your immediate air smelling pretty, because when Pig Pen hits you, he hits you hard. You feel as though your nostrils have been assaulted by some sort of olfactory hippopotamus. You feel violated, vulnerable as Alice in Wonderland and depressed at the thought of these beauty sinners who feel that strutting outside the house without even so much as deodorant or a clean shirt is allowable in sweaty weather. So the debut of Estee Lauder's Sensuous was welcomed with particularly grateful open arms this summer.
