Bond No. 9 ~ Eau de New York
Friday, July 28th, 2006My husband rarely comments on the perfumes I wear unless it’s one he already knows and loves. Imagine my surprise when unbidden, he asked about Bond No. 9’s Eau de New York. And then the conversation unraveled.
“That smell… what is that… is that your perfume?”
“Yeah, kind of smells like, uh, Pez at the top?”
“Sort of, but more like a martini.”
“A Pez martini?”
“Okay then. I guess I can see that. Smells like Pez martini, then.”
“But dry cleaning, too.”
“Maybe, but if it is, it’s dry cleaning in a new car.”
“New car?”
“I don’t know, don’t ask me. I smell a clean car, okay?”
“Ahhhhhh, now I’m getting grapefruit. Don’t you smell ruby red grapefruit, too? It’s strong, really fresh, really pulpy.”
“If you say so, I guess… sure. But definitely martini, yup. Yup.”
“Interesting… So you like it?”
“I like martinis. Wish I had me one.”
“… ? …”
“It’s not bad, I like it.”
“Huh. All right, then.”
“Wish you were testing out martini recipes instead. You should change your blog to Boozilla. I think I’d like that even better.”
“… ! …”
“I’m just sayin’. I’d totally be your guinea pig whenever you want then. You can test all your drinks out on me!”
“That sounds a lot more like it’d be Winozilla, hon. And? No.”
“Fine, but I think we’re missing out if you’re only going to smell Pez martinis.”
