I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I LIKE THE WAY IT SMELLS





I really don't need it, just yet.  I may need it after my 3 days on Fire Island is coming up.  I bought it because I like the way it smells.  It smells like coconut oil or something Palmer's Cocoa Butter.  It smells Hawaiian Tropic-esque.



Fragrances for me were always about the exotic.  Mostly food flavors sometimes with a little musk thrown in.  I used to manufacture glycerin soap in triangle shapes.  My best sellers were Rain, Vanilla, Light Musk, Violet and Mimosa.  I concocted a Vanilla Musk that was to die for.  It was like that Egyptian Musk oil and incense sold all over Manhattan street corners back in the 90's.  Even Carolyn Besette Kennedy was a fan.  Mine had the dark Vanilla note.  It just did.  Trying to color the vanilla infused soap blue was difficult as is had an adamant yellow coloring.  I could bring it up to a blue-green.  Aegean blue-green.  A true product whore produces product at some point.




I still can't help but just inhale a jar of Noxema or original Pond's to have those clean white-washed memories come flooding back.On my next run, I'm making soap to smell like Hawaiian Tropic, Noxema and original Pond's.  I just am.
