scent-marking at Costco
February 25, 2005To the heavily-perfumed woman at Costco tonight, in whose wake we were unfortunate enough to find ourselves: Did the salesperson at that upscale store tell you that floral was feminine and alluring? She lied. Anything to move this stuff. She neglected to mention the cloying, heavy, irritating undertones, didn’t she. Or the frumpy, old-tart overtones? To say nothing of the poor misbegotten creature of Satan whose musk glands were grilled or otherwise maligned in the making of said fluid. I do believe this is the same dizzying scent used by a relative who stayed with us once. The children remember. Even bleach had no power on the towels. I threw them away.
