Help! My Laundry Smells Like Oud!
10 years ago
Are you a fragrance gourmet or a fragrance gourmand?
Some people turn on the radio in the morning and listen to music throughout the day, but without paying lots of attention to it. Others are looking forward for months to attend a symphonic concert by a famous orchestra. The choice is up to you!
With fragrance, it is a bit different. Somewhere I read that we are confronted with app. 20+ different fragrances during each day - room fragrance in shopping malls, beef smell at McDonalds, the smell of a vase of flowers, fir needles at Christmas, then perfumed fabric softener, cleaning agent, rinsing agent, and even fragrance added to the plastic of a car dashboard!
How do you cope with it? Do you try to keep your environment neutral so you can better enjoy the perfume of your choice? Or do you think the more the better? And if so, do you care about the fragrances around you? And what about the scents of nature?
Personally, I try to avoid fragrances that sombody else imposes on me as best as I can. I never use home fragrances, and I regularly tick the extra rinse cycle button at my washing machine. Laundry smelling like oud is no joke. Not only is oud conquering the perfume mass marked, it is even being used in household products by now. I have repeatedly come by a fabric softener with a rose-oud combo in it, but unlike perfume, there was no reference to it in the product's outer design.
I try to reserve my nose for the fragrances of my personal choice, and this can be my perfume of the day but also the scents of nature on a walk through beautiful countryside.
Are you aware about the fragrances surrounding us? What is your opinion?
