Thing I Love

I love scent, as you know, but I'm always sad when it fades midday and I have to live out the rest of the afternoon, like, fragrance-free. Note: I don't believe in slathering oneself with perfume - that's just inconsiderate. So, in order not to smell 6 times too strong for the first 3 hours of the day, I'm naked for the rest of it. It's so wrong.

I've thought of bringing a couple of bottles to work but my stuff isn't cheap (only have $ for one of each) and I like to spritz first thing. I also don't like mixing scents throughout the day. None of my faves come in sample sizes, at least none I've been able to find, so I've felt kind of between a rock and a hard place.

Only I could speak of this dilemma like it's some sort of crisis.

But the peeps at Lothantique are on my wavelength:

I swear, this is SFW - as opposed to NSFW!

They've come up with this great travel atomizer that even works on spray bottles that don't open - you know, the kind that formerly necessitated using a funnel on, in order to benefit from said gadget. And it's only $17.00. It comes in 3 colours - the chicest by far being the silver. It looks just like a slightly oversized bullet vibrator so you can even shock people when you use it. (No worries though, the pink and black ones are completely PG-looking.)

I just bought one, based on its apparent-practicality, and if it works as well as the floor sample at my fave store that sells everything, then I think a whole bunch of people know what's coming their way at Xmas. The ones who don't read this may be entirely shocked at first glance, however :-)

And yes, I did just use the X-word in a sentence.
