Scents My Body Wash Manufacturer Did Not Need to Add to my Body Wash

[mrissa]

1. Baby powder
2. Crushed-up Pez

Fail fail fail fail fail.

And now the three unopened bottles I bought last night, when I was steady, will go to the local women's shelter, and I will have to ask my mom to haul my wobbling self around Target on my big PT day so I can do the ensniffening all over again and pick a new body wash that does not smell like baby powder (which is at least reasonable, just not me) or Pez (not a reasonable smell for body wash! just not!).

I have an aversion reflex to products labeled "Improved!" I rarely agree with the label.

"Just fine as it was, so we left it that way," is probably too wordy for the marketing people, though.

"Original Formula" and the like fit and can sell, though.

In New Zealand recently it means "Now with cheaper ingredients!"

Well, the other thing is, we have people around with allergies. Including people with life-threatening food allergies. And certain other people keep changing ingredients in things . . .

The Body Shop are briefly selling again the "fuzzy peach" body wash/bubble bath that they sold between 1983-1997. Z and I were delighted almost to the point of tears. It smells to me like slightly warm peaches, and therefore I have always described it of smelling of peaches and sunshine.

I don't know if you have a Body Shop, or if that would be a nice smell for you, or even if it would smell like that to you, but if you did have a Body Shop you should sniff some and see.

For some reason I have been averse to fruit smells on my own person (though perfectly pleased with them on other people), but you make this peach one sound so nice I may have to go to the Body Shop in Bigdale and see.

If you like that, you might want to check the Kiss My Face hand lotion that Trader Joe's carries (though I don't believe they're a TJ's exclusive). To me it smells like slightly-underripe peaches, as if the flesh is still a bit crisp. Nice, light scent on everyone.

I don't know - if I had a ladyfriend who used Pez smelling body wash, I might be inspired to do extra sniffling/nuzzling.

If you're into that sort of thing.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Which apparently you are, and now we all know. So okay then.

[songwind.livejournal.com]

I am uncertain what to make of this response.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Icon choice indicates amusement. I am laughing at you and your Pez-sniffing ways.

[songwind.livejournal.com]

ah, okay.

[athenais.livejournal.com]

I would reject a body wash or anything else that smelled of Pez. Even Pez, because I don't like it.

I am currently mildly annoyed that Joico changed the delightful orange scent of my shampoo to grapefruit.

Gosh I hate it when you've gone to the trouble (often considerable, even without added wobbliness) of finding a scent you like (or at least don't find offensive) and the manufacturer goes and ditches it. Gah. I feel for you.

Weird scents is part of the reason I'm a bar soap girl. There seem to better scents in the bar soap world, like eucalyptus and cedar.

You know, each time I tried to type the word "soap", I typed "soup" at least once before getting the spelling right. Maybe it's time to go home and make dinner :)

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I often find eucalyptus and cedar too strong for me in soaps, but I'm glad you find ones you like. And I hope you got some food into you!

I refuse to smell like babies or fruit or candy, or really any kind of food. (Spices, optional, but not in a food-like way.) I am a grown up, I am not Lolita. Thank you.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I don't necessarily associate the food smells with early childhood or adolescence, but for some reason I still shy away from them mostly.

[zalena.livejournal.com]

Also banned: lavender, vanilla, citrus. These are nice smells, but i do not want to smell like them.

[moiread]

More for me, then!

Well. Not the lavender. Someone else will have to claim the monopoly on that one.

[sdn.livejournal.com]

this made me crack up. thanks.

[moiread]

Oh, ew.
