So, I walked into my local Bed, Bath, and Beyond on an errand. Decided to check out the shaving aisle (as usual).
They always have the elusive Lilac Vegetal in stock, but all the containers are always tightly sealed. I've never had the guts to spend the 9 bucks to find out what it smells like, but I always look at it, hold it in my hand for a few seconds, and then put it back on the shelf.
This time around, I noticed that the second one back has been opened by somebody. Yes! I'll finally get a chance to smell this stuff, I think to myself. So I cautiously opened the bottle and took a whiff.
Yikes.
Not content with "not good," LV ventures all the way over into REPULSIVE! Oh. My. G'! It smelled God-awful.
Shoulda just walked away.
But, I remembered everybody saying that the smell out of the bottle is not at all what it smells like after you put it on your skin and it dries down. So, I attempted to put a tiny bit on the fleshy part between the thumb and forefinger of my left hand. Alas! a boat-load of it poured out onto my hand. I shook some of it off and rubbed the rest of it in.
Um....still repulsive.
Just let it dry down, I told myself. So, I went on to finish the rest of my errands. I was constantly looking around to see if people were going to run away from me.
I smelled it about every minute or two for about the next half-hour, until I could get home and wash it off.
Sorry, guys, but it was seriously FOUL the entire time.
The skin on my hand felt wonderfully soft and smooth, so I can see that it would FEEL good as an aftershave,.....but how in the world anybody could purposely put this stuff on their faces I have no. earthly. clue.
I had to wash my hands three times, and it still stunk. So I went out into the garage and used Lava soap to scrape off a couple of layers of skin. Anything to get that stench off my hand!
