Confession: I want to smell like food
Is that too embarrassing to say out loud? Should I feel shame? Guess what? I don’t care, I gots to get me some essence that smell like vittles!!
My sister Rachel is a creative individual and a licensed cosmetologist specializing in makeup and skin care. She gave me some lovely vanilla perfume oil for my birthday because I confessed to her my desire to smell like cookies. (By the way, having a smart beauty expert for a sister is like having a doctor in the family. Seriously, you should be really jealous.)
She got it here, and now I do smell like a baked good. Trouble is that I think I need to smell like more foods… Maybe apple, or strawberry or chocolate or something!? I don’t know but I’m going on a snack smelling journey. Advice is gladly accepted.
(Part of me hopes I find a perfume oil called “Swedish Meatballs” or “BLT” but I would never wear them… probably.)

It’s in Dutch and for technically for yor food, because the Dutch have things like perfume for their food. But you can smell like normal things such as mango, oranges, caraway seeds and “rose without thorns,” but there is also Heaven on Earth, banana, broad beans, Maraschino cherries, and my personal favorite “Farmer boys.”
Sadly, Farmer boys is mostly raisins and not so much sweat and manure.

Hi Moxie – just discovered your blog via the Urban Craft uprising site (can’t wait to go this year). Anyway, I’m an artisan perfume lover, and the type of perfumes you’re speaking of are a class called “gourmand” – meaning, of course, food-related. Check out luckyscent.com for more. Chocolate scents are a favorite!

If it is a choice between the two I would go with Swedish Meatballs. I’m not sure why, but it’s what I have decided.

don’t forget the pizza family.
I had a friend who would rub oregano all over herself before going to clubs. Many boys would exclaim with shining eyes “oh my god, you smell soooo good!” when she simply walked past them.
Just think how they’d have reacted if she had added pepperoni to that scent!
