Attacked by Vanilla Terrorists in A New Car While Eating a Pear
Pear + Olive starts out promising, with a ripe, luscious pear note; truly delicious. The olive note is odd. I can see that Mr. Lobb wanted to give the scent some body, but it feels like it shouldn't be there. It is the olfactory equivalent of Discord. Then there's the new car smell: a waxy just-purchased new-vehicle smell. Finally, a disquieting sweetness rummages through the background. I know that smell -- it is the black hands of vanilla, plotting terror.
Over time, the new car smell morphs into "olives in the fridge too long", as the scent tacks back and forth from it to the pear. Occasionally, the olive suggests an uplifting grandeur, which is what I suspect was intended. However, by three hours in, the evil plans of vanilla have hatched. The scent has become a very wet, rounded, non-ice-cream, non-foody vanilla. And there the scent dies, wrapped in a vanilla coffin, presided over by black-masked vanilla terrorists, shooting off their semi-automatic vanilla weapons, claiming another victim in their evil scent domination.
