repost: r|scent & stink
or
is it 'cuz we stink & you smell?*
after experiencing my refrigerator AND my car's coffee holder with stagnant water that leaked through the poorly replaced windshield (which was required because 2 pedestrians crossed against the light and flung their bodies onto my car, so said the police officer and 9 other witnesses) ... and after experiencing a strong vanilla scent and then some sort of fresh ocean scent while at a power plant ...
todd and i believe that not only should "take-me-away-type-scents" (e.g., jasmine, patchouli, tea rose, peppermint, etc.) have their place in homes and businesses, but also other scents, aka "stink" (the stink that is unique to the cultural fabric and every-day-life of americans), should have its day.
having said that, todd and i are building our library of "stink" and invite others to contribute. all you have to do is provide two things:

- STINK NAME: theme smell or stink name come up with smell or stink theme
- STINK FEATURES BACK STORY BULLETS: at least 3 feature/benefits of the stink
- honeymoon hangover
- face down in the gutter
- 7-yr old kitty litter
- poorly operated crackhouse
- overly-tried-on shirt at the gap
smell-on!

Mud season musk. Here in VT we have miles and miles and miles of dirt roads. Miles. Each spring, the snow melts turning the miles of dirt roads into miles of mud bogs. It is quite exciting to drive your bald-tired minivan on mud bog roads in spring. Sometimes you become stuck (akin to being stuck in traffic, only more lonely). When you become stuck, or if you find a fellow traveler stuck, you push the car. Pushing a car, on a muddy road, on a warm spring day causes the human body to sweat. That sweat mixes with the mud and creates a particular scent. I think R|Cat can have a side business synthesizing this scent and putting it into a bottle.
