This was hilarious. Had me chuckling, and thinking about all the smell-good stuff we used back in the day. And then I recall walking on (the U. of Wisconsin) campus one evening with one of the really pretty cheerleaders from my high school. Missy says "What are you wearing? It smells really good". I completely missed the hint. Proving that no amount of personal product conquers cluelessness. Sigh.

Aha! The explanation for why you can speak with authority about this stuff. I suspected as much. For my PhD, I ran a moonshine still. Serious.
