sand and oil.....xerjoff and sin.....6 is our savior
It started at six.
Not six o’clock—six as a temperature, six as a diagnosis, six as the number tattooed on the underside of my tongue. They said it was just a bottle of perfume. They lied. It was an ankle monitor for the soul.
They called it 6 by Xerjoff. The nurse called it “evidence.” The doctor called it “a strong trigger.” The priest called it “not in the brochure.” I called it “okay, let’s see how much of my brain is optional.”
The bottle
It sat there in the ward’s visiting room, on the plastic table with the uneven leg. Clear, innocent, like an angel that eats batteries. The label said Xerjoff 6, but if you tilted it just right, the six became a spiral, and the spiral looked back.
The other patients were playing checkers with invisible pieces. I was playing chess with the bottle. It was winning.
“Just one spray,” the orderly said, like people say “just one drink” before the car becomes a courtroom.
I sprayed.
The first inhale
The top note was violence dressed as citrus. It crawled up my nose and wrote graffiti on the inside of my skull. The walls of the hospital changed color—beige to bruised peach to the exact shade of guilt you feel when you laugh at the wrong funeral.
Across the room, the TV turned itself on. Every channel was me, but slightly worse.
My left eye started narrating:
“Tonight, on a very special episode of your nervous system…”
My right eye refused subtitles.
Side effects
The floor turned into carpet, then water, then a crowd at a niche fragrance meetup chanting “beast mode” as a legal term.
The clock hands stopped ticking and started tapping their feet impatiently. Time didn’t pass; it waited.
A nurse walked by and exploded softly into confetti that smelled like laundry detergent and childhood trauma, then reassembled as if she’d only sneezed.
Someone in the corner was crying into his hospital gown. The scent reached him and he started laughing instead. Not happy laughing—laughing like a fire alarm with nothing left to burn.
The experiment
They decided I should be “observed.” Fine. Strap me in. The room had rubber walls and a single mirror that only reflected mistakes. They put the bottle on a metal tray like it was part of communion.
“Describe what you smell,” said the man with the clipboard.
I tried words like “amber,” “smoke,” “woods,” but they slid off. What I actually smelled was:
A priest losing faith mid-sermon and finishing it anyway.
A motel pillow that remembers every secret you didn’t confess.
The moment you realize the party isn’t fun, it’s just loud, and you’re too old to pretend otherwise.
“Base notes,” he said.
“The base note,” I answered, “is consequence.”
He wrote something down, but the pen wasn’t moving.
The breakdown
Second spray. Of course there was a second spray. You don’t stop halfway down the stairs when the basement door’s already open.
This time, the fragrance didn’t go into me; it came out of me, like it had been waiting behind my organs, filing its nails.
My voice changed first. Every word I said left a visible trail, like cartoon stink lines but classy. My apologies smelled like gasoline. My lies smelled like lavender with a limp.
The staff started reacting:
One nurse became convinced she was an incense stick and stood by the wall smoking imaginary smoke.
One patient tore up his mattress, convinced the springs were snakes, then offered each one a decant.
The head psychiatrist walked in, took one sniff, and started confessing into the fire extinguisher.
“What did you put in the air?” he demanded.
“Six,” I said. “Just six.”
The vision
By spray three, I wasn’t in the hospital anymore—I was in a city built entirely out of noses. Giant stone noses, alleyways shaped like septums, fountains of cologne that never ran dry, only more expensive.
Everyone wore straightjackets tailored like designer suits. We marched in neat little lines toward a cathedral made of empty bottles. Instead of bells, they rang atomizers.
The priest appeared again, except now it was me, except now it wasn’t. I was wearing a lab coat made of tester strips. In one hand: 6 by Xerjoff. In the other: a clipboard with only one question on it:
“Would you do it again?”
The congregation—all versions of me, all ages, all bad haircuts—answered in unison:
“Spray us, Father. We’re already lost.”
So I did. Clouds of it, thick as guilt, sweet as surrender.
Waking up
I came to with my face on the floor and the orderly standing over me.
“You passed out,” he said. “You were laughing.”
“What did I say?”
He hesitated. “You kept saying, ‘It’s fine. It’s just number six. Five was sanity.’”
The bottle was gone.
The smell wasn’t.
It clung to the room, to my gown, to the inside of my teeth. Every breath was a reminder. Every exhale was a review.
Final verdict on 6 by Xerjoff
Performance:
Haunts the room long after you’re done haunting it.
Versatility:
Wear it to court, confession, or compulsory therapy. Everyone will agree something is wrong, they just won’t know if it’s you or the air.
Sillage:
People three lifetimes away will feel a sudden urge to question their choices.
6 by Xerjoff is not a fragrance.
It’s a diagnosis you spray on.
Would you wear it again?
Already did.
Didn’t you smell that?
