Welcome to a perfumer's blog on perfumery

Introducing remark:
Any similarity to… pure chance!
He could be she, she could be he, and all combinations are thinkable.

He: I want to buy a new perfume!
She: But you’ve got plenty of them. Why don’t you use up that Vetiver thing?
He: Because…., I want a new one.
She: But come on: seriously. You haven’t even used up half of it. It’s a waste.
He: Well, I guess I am sick of smelling like a rotten tropical root.
She: Well, listen there….what is wrong with Vetiver? I remember quite well: You liked it!
He: Yeah, sure, but it is every day the same. I want something more exciting. I want to buy a new perfume.
She: Ah. Something exciting. Honey…the price of this Vetiver thing of yours was more than exciting.
He: Live is too short to buy cheap perfumes.
She: Ah. So we are down to it. You do not really care about how we gonna finance our future, how we gonna pay the bills when I finally, grace to God and a few rate cuts of the FED, can retire.
He: Easy…. I am not selling our house here. I just want to buy a new perfume.
She: I can tell you something: Life is too long to fool around with our money!
He: I am not fooling around. And, where’s the fun in life when at the end of the row there’s not enough left for my new perfume now?
She: I tell you something, Mr. New Perfume, there have been generations without any perfume. They lived happily.
He: Until they died miserable because they never sniffed any decent perfume.
She: I can feel a negative vibe here. Why are you so aggressive?
He: I want to buy a new perfume!
She: So do I!
He: Why don’t you?
She: I don’t waste my money. I wait until there is good reason to do so. Like emptying a bottle.
He: I can empty my bottles later.
She: You won’t.
He: Of course not. Vetiver day in day out is so boring.
She: How about not wearing perfumes for a while. After a few weeks you might like your Vetiver again!
He: Well, I don’t feel like discussing when to wear my perfumes.
She: I am just trying to be constructive, my dear, no reason to block this conversation.
He: I do not block anything. I just want to buy…
She: Ok , ok , I know by now!
He: I have heard about this new one, you can’t buy it here, yet. Must be gorgeous!
She: Ok , this melody I know by now, too. First it is hip and hop and everywhere and then it sits there in our bathroom, untouched.
He: Now, who is blocking?
She:  I am trying to help you, my dear. You are about to engage in luxury.
He: Please, don’t start talking Latin with me.
She: Talking about the Romans: There were times in good old Rome when there were laws in Europe prohibiting expensive perfumes, you know?
He: Yeah. And there were dinosaurs. They didn’t buy perfume either.
She: Honey, you are changing subject. We are NOT talking about dinosaurs. We are talking about your spending money that we wanted to put aside.
He: You wanted to put it aside. Don’t touch for 30 years!  But for what?
She: To buy perfumes, maybe?
