Three cheers? I think not.

A few years ago I found a signature seasonal scent and I stocked up. Every Thanksgiving I’d dust off the bottle and commence the slathering of holiday cheer. People loved it when I walked in the room. They’d tell me I smelled so good they wanted to lick me. I smelled so yummy I wanted to lick myself.

From Thanksgiving through Valentine’s Day I existed in the center of a heady cloud of olfactory delight.

Tuesday my supply dried up. Wednesday I headed to Bath & Body Works to replenish my supply and learned I was in need of a Christmas miracle. Apparently B&BW thought they’d be cute and offer Twisted Peppermint for one week only. One week? What the hell is that about? As if this season isn’t stressful enough now I have to search for a fresh signature scent of the season?!? They offer cutesy alternatives like VanillaTini and Peach Bellini but let’s face it … if I wanted to walk around smelling like a lush I’d do it the old-fashioned way.
