Guest guest Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 I am a bit embarrassed to tell of my latest experience, but I thought that if someone else has had the same happen to them I won't feel so bad. I was in a store the other day, you know a kind of health store type store:) When I walked in the woman who worked there was vacuuming and had deposited a couple of drops of an oil in the 'out' vent of the vacuum cleaner. It was a clever idea, if not a bit over powering. Anyway to cut a long story short, a light went on in my head, I knew I smelled that oil before. I breathed deeply (that should have been a hint) but the light that went on in my head had no name with it. I felt so crappy. How could I not know. It was so strong and in my face and I knew I had smelled it a hundred times or more. In the end I said (through clenched teeth that was supposed to be a smile) " oh you're burning something nice? " With that she explained her method for putting the oil on the vent of the vacuum cleaner. I just wanted to know what the oil was, I felt like slapping myself upside the head " what is it? " I asked her eventually, full of loathing for myself for having to ask the question. " incense " she said FRANKINCENSE F R A N K I N S E N C E!!!! I shouted inside my head. I didn't say anything to her after that except to make small talk about how my herbal products were going etc. I felt so BAD though, like how can I be training to be a perfumer when I couldn't think of the name of that oil!!! Has anybody else had something similar happen to them??? Ruth http://www.whitewitch.ie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
