Does It Stink in Here or Is It Just Me (and maybe Lizzie)?

Zounds! Just learned that my friend, Lizzie at Running Naked with Scissors  leads a sensory perceived existence and that her favorite way to perceive, sensory-wise, is through her olfactory senses. When in comes to perception, Lizzie’s nose knows.  Who knew?

So knowing this and the way Lizzie’s mind works, it’s not surprising that she came up with this fun challenge:

The Eu de You Perfume Challenge:

Lizzie wants to know what elements you would  use to create your very own perfect scent?

Here are the questions:

1. What are the traits about yourself that you would like to convey in the Eu de you perfume?
2. When you think of these traits, what scents come to mind?
3.  So give us a formula for your perfect scent.
4. What colors do you associate with it?
5. What forms would you offer it in?
6. How would you package it?
7. And very important what would you name it?

Finally, fill in the blanks.   The smell of                                  reminds me of                                       and this as a good or bad smell memory for me.

Here’s my take on Lizzie’s challenge:

First of all, I would call my perfume, Eu de Linda de Jour.  It would convey honesty, loyalty, strength, confidence, and humor!  The elements I would use to do this:

Honesty would be conveyed by the smell of honey because there’s nothing fake about honey. 

Loyalty would be conveyed by the smell of egg salad because you have to be loyal to stick around for that!

Strength would be conveyed by the smell of horses but only those emanating from the front part of the horse, of course!

Confidence would be conveyed by the scent of the mimeographed paper upon which the quiz I just aced was written!

Humor would be conveyed by generous amounts of puppy breath.

Formula for Eu de Linda du Jour

47 gallons of honey

One dozen Eggs

One Horse

Mimeograph Machine

One Batch of Puppies

Mix all ingredients in the world’s largest blender – haha just kidding- make that the world’s largest cereal bowl. 

Strain out horse, mimeograph machine and puppies.

Bottle remaining mixture into perfume bottles shaped like a puppy horse:

Eu De Linda de Jour stages of development for bottle design

OK, then all that’s left is to slap on a Eu de Linda du Jour label with the slogan:

The smell of life; sometimes it smells good and sometimes not so much!

Then sell the formula to  Bath and Body Works for elevenity billion dollars. 

So there you have it!
