I feel so deeply this story of your weird, passive-aggressive household and the scent memory you carry from it. I can feel the clamminess of the smell. I would watch a tv show with this level of detail. Please forward to Paul Feig. :)

You’re like my gypsy scent doppelgänger spirit! Rough life timeline of scent begins “French” and ends with Cacharel, with some detours. Egads, some of them were terrible! Including:
