Average Jane Is An Animal?

Conversation right after I got home from doing some volunteer work yesterday:

Me: Was [specific friend's name] here?

Husband: Yes! How did you know?

Me: I could smell him.

Husband: What, are you a wild animal or something?

Me: He wears patchouli!

    Hahahaha! Oh my….
    I saw your Tweet and wondered what that was about. SO worth the wait. It probably helps that I know the two of you and can visualize that sweet little exchange. Hee!

    That is so weird. I was just sitting down to write a blog about evocative smells (scraping the bottom of the NaBloPoMo barrel) and I was going to mention patchouli….Now you’ll think I’m just copying…
    Do you remember the great line from High Fidelity when John Cusack yells at Tim Robbins about his “patchouli stink”? I loved that moment for so many reasons.

    Ugh, patchouli. When my allergies flared up in October, I had to keep an inhaler at work ’cause the part-timer in the next cubicle wore that stuff. Twenty minutes after she got there, I’d get wheezy. Yuck.

    That’s hilarious. Patchouli is definitely a signature odor.
