Patchouli?
 

Having attended University of Oregon in the 1980’s, I smelled a lot of patchouli.

Not a positive thing for me.

Can anyone explain why some folks will drench themselves in patchouli oil?

They like to smell "earthy"?

to cover up the scent of all the weed?

I'm not sure which is the worse smell . . .

I worked for a plant nursery for a few years and had a co-worker who would spray herself with it. I hated the smell but she never had trouble with mosquitos (which was her argument for using it).

^^^mosquitos. Might almost be worth it!

The smell of patchouli and the taste of cilantro. Two things I can't stand.

I always figured it was an alternative to regular bathing. Stringy, greasy hair and patchouli go hand in hand to my memory.

(flatbutt, I'm on board with you on cilantro; it's weird how every time I request no cilantro someone always asks "you don't like cilantro?" as if it's the same thing as an orgasm.)

When I was in High School giving a couple friends a ride home in my moms minivan one of the young ladies spilled a vial of patchouli oil. Never heard the end of that from my mom.

Hippies. :rolleyes:

You having flashbacks? :D

That's something I never experienced and given what I was told about my use of LSD it should have.

I just found a bottle, and just for the memes will wear it sometimes .
When I was young and started the hippie festival thing, I just assumed this was the body's natural odor after not showering and eating veggie burritos for weeks on end .
My wife hated it !! I wore it when I was a goofy kid .

Funny. No flashbacks.

But there are a bunch of stories that won't get told on the internet.

Stuff smells horrible but I love it. It reminds me of getting laid as a youngster

That's not the odor that comes to mind for me.:D

I actually like it, in very limited quantities. Not the people that swim in it.

Me too!

Patchouli in the morning .... Skunk in the afternoon :D!

It reminds me of my concert going days and I like it. I smell it and the song Estimated Profit rings in my ears.
