Diabetes on the go. Or: Why investing in a steam brush is worth it
It’s 2:00 AM. Tshajbukoshka is in the kitchen washing the dishes. Because he actually has 100,000 other things to do, a deadline is approaching, and he is still sick,
- he got hungry and had to cook chickpea rice immediately.
- he started rummaging through his cabinets for sweets (because Tshajbukoshka knows his own gluttony and hides things from himself, as he is just as scatterbrained-forgetful as he is greedy, and then weeks later rejoices over chocolate, marshmallows, and the like).
- he wanted everything to be rinsed immediately after eating.
Yes, all this information is important because: Tshajbukoshka was wearing a scarf while washing (because: sick - bronchitis, cough, stuffy nose). And while he stands there, pondering how to meet his deadline and still get more than two hours of sleep, a familiar scent wafts into his nose.
He searches for the source.
He finds the source. It’s the scarf. Vaffanculo blin, THE SCARF!
He wore this scarf a week ago. He didn’t spray it with Shaghaf Oud, no. There was ONE SPRAY on his neck (on the neck it was too overpowering for him during the first test) and a few hours later he threw on a scarf. Did he mention that was a week ago? And that his nose is currently not 100% operational?
Shaghaf Oud.
Longevity: 700%
Sillage/ Projection: strong, extremely strong with a license to kill or at least to be extremely annoying
Eko Fresh is whispering somewhere “Get to safety and lock the door!” (and 2004 is calling and wants its song back).
Anyone wearing “Shaghaf Oud” who is not in a cookie or chocolate factory stands out.
Oriental? This guy here seems to have already assimilated.
Sweet? Oh yes. “Instant Diabetes” would also be a good name for this buddy here.
Shaghaf Oud starts with “saffron,” but even though I can’t stand saffron in perfume (and want to run away from MFKs 540 and its Zara version) and it is much more present, potent, and piercing than the real saffron in those mini portions (max one gram in yellow tins) in the kitchen cupboard, this one is okay, not quite as piercing and quite wearable. The rose dances around the saffron and is carried by “oud,” but not oud like a cow barn, rather oud like a gingerbread house with wood paneling.
After about half a day or at least six hours, the pseudo-saffron has somewhat dissipated and the scent has become EVEN. MORE. EDIBLE, which no one would have thought possible before.
The creators of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” would have worn Shaghaf Oud if it had existed back then. The nasty and thickly portrayed boy in the film would have downed the bottle in one go. And Tshajbukoshka? He is sticking his nose to his wrist, to the sprayer, and currently to his scarf. He knew just by smelling the sprayer that he would get diabetes from this buddy here. And now, days later, after he feels like he has bathed in his few sprays that he has spread over several days, the steam brush is on his hotlist. Tomorrow he will buy one because his hair still smells of Shaghaf Oud after washing, and with all due love, he would like to neutralize his scarf now, preferably before he gets healthy again and his nose is fully functional, lest he ends up suffocating, with the motto
“There’s a little air in the room when Shaghaf Oud is around.”
Anyone who buys this can easily make it a statement. It would probably last ten years on textiles. But Tshajbukoshka doesn’t want to find that out, so the steam brush must come.

Please more :)
I'm familiar with the idea of perfumes lingering on scarves. However, since I use scents that I like, such as Baccarat Rouge, it doesn't bother me.
But I have to say, I tend to reach for Shaghaf Oud more than Resala, mainly because Shaghaf Oud doesn’t last as long (on skin & clothes) as Resala… (no joke)
