So I'm in my first year of college and still dating "the girl back home" who sends me a letter a day, all drenched in "White Shoulders." She wore it tastefully and I loved the scent, but when you saturate an envelope in it........

Anyway, you could smell my PO box a mile away. After a few days, the scent died down a bit, but it was still strong. A lot of the guys liked the smell too and I started giving out envelopes they'd use as sachets in their dressers. Before too long, most of the dorm floor stunk of White Shoulders. On a Saturday when everyone was going out, it was a pretty heady atmosphere. The soap of the day then was Lifebuoy and the "preferred" scents were Jade East, English Leather, and Canoe. A quick spritz of Right Guard under each arm times about 35 guys plus the aroma of dirty socks and moldering beer.................I gotta' tell you, NO New Orleans cathouse could ever have smelled worse!

I think it would have killed several of you on this thread.
