The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 12 September 2017 9 Comments

From Atelier Oblique's Alphabet Collection, R — In Your Room: "Entering the place where your secrets lie open. Floating in the air. Resting on the collection of your life. The wave of your history seizes and raptures me. Each hint, your scent. Floral, like berries. Sticky-sweet and salty. Fresh and dusty. Innocent and heavy. Girl and woman. Boy and man. Loud and quiet. Voracious, longing and demanding, shy and overwhelmed at the same time. I dive in. Deeper and deeper. Into your world. Welcome to your story. A fragrance in the foyer of love." Ok then? 195g for €58 at Atelier Oblique in Berlin.

    “Raptures me”?

      It’s all word salad, but I found it entertaining 🙂

      More like “exhausts me”. That word salad is entertaining (“Fresh and dusty”?), but I would hope the fragrance is lighter and not a confused wall of smells.

    “Floral, like berries”?

    Also, if this is the fragrance in the foyer of love, what does it smell like in the kitchen? Or, say, the rec room of love? Yyyyyyyeah. Okay, then.

    (But yes, that was amusing.)

      You will have to read the descriptions of all the other letters…although I read quite a few and I am not sure there is a kitchen, but there appear to be several rooms that would qualify as a rec room of love 🙂

      I am hearing Barry White saying “the rec room of looooooooove”

      Complete with wood panelling, orange shag carpet, and a brown couch.

      Yeah baby!

    Sounds like a winning entry for the Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest… where “www” means “wretched writers welcome”.
