March Madness - Perfume Division


4 Division - only 1 Winner
 Update :  I spilled #5 all over  the bathroom and he couldn't smell it.


We're having a Perfume Playoff .  I've been complaining to Bill for several months now to find a perfume that makes him go crazy when he walks by me.  If they just bottled Home Made Bread I'd never make it out the door.  I could rub yeast all over my body but I'm afraid it may lead to a different type of problem.  With a 3 to 5 day cure.   Why do they even make a 3 or 5 if it's available in a 1 day pill form?  Idiots.  

Me:  Bill , what are you wearing, I LOVE THAT?"
Bill: ______ - fill in the blank with whatever because I'm steering this conversation.  ( No, it is NOT manipulation)
Me: Do you like what I'm wearing?
Bill: yes.
Me: That's not committed enough.  I wish you'd go shop and find a perfume you'd love for me to wear.

So a couple of days ago we're Christmas shopping at Ulta.  He sprays everything in the store on me.  We both get sick and have to go home to change clothes.  This is not a good start. 

He came up with a new system. Buy all the sample sets at Sephora and grade them. This way you can get asphyxiated by any number of designer scents.  Today I wore one that's not making it to the
Big Dance .  It smelled like my 80 year old Aunt Pearl from 1965.  With a hint of hot moth balls.  I made the rather bad choice of  wearing  it to the 3D Hobbit movie this afternoon.  Which to my dismay was mingled with someone's vomit from last night.  Probably from sampling perfumes and sitting thru a 3 hour movie of angry dirty midgets in high definition. 

We've made it thru 4 rounds so far.  I'd like to apologize in advance for setting off anyone's allergic reactions in the next few week.  Please feel free to comment on my fragrance when you smell me coming.  Or just pinch your nose and I'll get the idea.

Yes- this is all being kept track of by a highly sophisticated "Post-it Note"  system on our bathroom mirror with a scale of 1 to 5 pluses (+) and comments by the wearer and the one the wearer is trying to seduce.  We're already argued about the validity of the point system and playoff bracket.   Marriage is fun.
