Indescribable perfume

Today I positioned myself one chair from the end of the second row.  Class was about to start with a minute to go as one more student walks in the door and eyes the aisle seat next to me that is hers for the taking.  I know what you are thinking, no big deal so someone sat next to you.  Ya I thought the same thing until she was sitting next to me and a smell drifted through the air.  I caught wind to the most indescribable perfume I have ever smelled.  It was very musky and it gave me a headache during class.  It was one of those oh my gosh I have to move away from you smells.  I couldn't concentrate during class because all I could think about was how terrible this smell was.  Its funny because to you the smell may be one of the worst but for the person wearing the perfume, they smell it completely different.

I know I'm not the only person that has experienced sitting next to or by someone that smells.  I found this article online about a Passenger with 'brutal' smell escorted off flight.  Can you imagine smelling so terrible that you are escorted off your flight?!  WOW!!

I believe the sense of smell is one of the most powerful senses.  After you smell someone and it is not pleasant we automatically give that person a mental scarlet letter.  Nobody wants to compared to Pigpen from the Peanuts but I'm sorry I have to say the girl that sat next to me received a mental scarlet letter today.


Peace, grace, & love
