I was sniffing blissfully at my chocolate scented t-shirt.
Alas and alack,I had the sad knowledge that once I washed it with my good ole soap powder, the shirt's heavenly, chocolatey scent would be just a whiff of memory.
Which got me to thinking - while I understand that it may be more practical to sell perfume separately from clothing (and hence one can change the clothes' scent depending on the person's vagaries of mood and inclination), what if I were the type to want my particular ensemble to always smell like ginger? or mangoes? or blueberries?
Barring the fact that my chest of drawers will probably be eagerly swarmed by ecstatic ants if I were to stuff it with chocolate-scented tshirts, why aren't there more of such items?
Has a process been invented to permanently imbue clothing with a chosen scent - one which would fade slowly only through time (like how jeans color fades) and not through just one or two washings?
The usual flowery scents versus fruity scents is not a complete collection, easily available to the average person. What if I wanted durian-scented pants and a vanilla-scented top? What if I wanted lychee-scented shoes and watermelon-scented shorts? Its not as if I can just go out and buy from a perfume stand, a scent which I would like to spray on clothes or on my person. Have you ever heard of people manufacturing eau-de-durian or even a eau-de-raspberry?
*goes back to sniffing real dark chocolate this time since the tshirt now smells like Breeze laundry powder*
Bag each and everyone of them in a sealed plastic bags and vacuum pack them to seal the scents:-)
ReplyDeleteDurian scented pants! Yuk.
ReplyDeleteChocolate scented T-shirt? Such things exist?
ReplyDeleteI guess as you mention it would make more sense just to have spray bottles for various scents if one were so inclined to wear scented clothing.
I think someone should invent a chocolate-scented soap instead. On the second thought, why one earth should one go around smelling like chocolate?
ReplyDeletejust boil the shirt and you have instant coco ha ha ha hello catt.. mwahtagal ko ng inaantay yang shirt na yan ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteJoey, one wash lang..wala na..huhuhu!
ReplyDeleteahahaha! I love durian!
ReplyDeleteyup, I received one as a gift last Christmas.
ReplyDeleteyes, but as for this one tshirt, since the printed words and its color all scream "chocolate!", I had wanted it to last as long as it could...
hmm..but scented soaps are par for the course, right?
ReplyDeletealong with lotions and shampoos...
personally, I want to be wearing ginger-scented clothes..but chocolate-scented clothes are actually quite invigorating (at least for me..hehe)
ah, Val, that is the problem...if it can be possible that that scenario can happen (and may instant hot choco from boiling the shirt, I'd have done it na..)
ReplyDeletebut imagine ha..if you get stranded on a deserted island with clothes of such design, fragrance and function..you can use your clothes for food..hahaha!
durian scented pants? eeeeeek! vanilla scented tops? eeewwwww!!!!
ReplyDeleteAba, eh i-sprayan ulit.
ReplyDeletegive me chocolate bars anytime! : )
ReplyDeleteok, I can understand, that not everybody has that higher level of scent-sophistication *smirks* to appreciate the durian scented clothes...*sniffles*
ReplyDelete..however...whats wrong with vanilla? ang daming vanilla scented stuff kaya? I admit its not my favorite smell, pero I used to make durian milk shake kc..and vanilla ice cream was the other ingredient :-)
yes, but where is a chocolate perfume/scent/eau-de-parfum/eau-de-cologne here in our lovely country?
ReplyDeleteeven the linen scents I am able to get my hands on (like green tea, rose and orange) are just that...I haven't seen...eherm..I mean smelled chocolate...
I prefer edible chocolate tshirts...hmm..a tshirt made out of chocolate bars..tapos the model can wear them in the sun...then it will melt...ehehe...
ReplyDeletesan na ba ang mga hunks dyan...volunteers for that ensemble?
Hep! Did someone call me?
ReplyDeletedi ko na qualify hunks of what kind eh....
ReplyDelete*grin*
Di na kailangan i-specify. Generic ito.
ReplyDeletesabagay chunks of meat naman talaga yan..whether pork or men ...LOL
ReplyDeleteProbably none. Try Mexico, where cacao is indigenous.
ReplyDeleteI don't think its an "in" thing though...there's probably just a small niche of people wanting some chocolate scent...
ReplyDeleteAnd you're one of them:-) So, you better find one.
ReplyDeleteaha (plans trip to Mexico)
ReplyDeleteYes, why not?
ReplyDeletewell, definitely there are really a lot of places I want to try visiting..but again, priorities, trade-offs...etc
ReplyDeleteall my personal travels are sponsored by Cat, Inc. so I have to find funding :-)
You can also find a co-sponsor:-)
ReplyDeleteang co-sponsor may hihingi-in..ayoko nang mag negotiate pa...my money, my terms ..sarap...
ReplyDeleteIt's best to be your own boss, di ba?
ReplyDeleteown boss, own risks :-)
