nostalgia

If you follow me on twitter, you're already sick of hearing about this.  I am just always amazed by the combination of smell and sense memory.  The Body Shop has brought back some "classics" that have been discontinued over the years.  They have Dewberry body wash & lotion again.  Dewberry was the closest thing I've ever had to a "signature scent"

i've never smelled the dewberry

I used Indian Gardenia for years. Currently using White Musk Midnight Iris (which is discontinued and I have to find on Ebay), and Lychee Blossom (which is very heavily floral/citrus when first applied, but in a few minutes, it changes into a very lovely scent that I can't quite put my finger on).

bath & body does the same thing. rice flower and shea was one of my favorites that they no longer carry. fig and brown sugar was a 2nd best. again, discontinued.

fuckers need to stop doing that.

i've since requested a friend of mine, who makes perfume oils, to do her best at coming up with a comparable scent. she already came close to my request for the "river of honey" cheapy oil i found at rag-o-rama years ago in one of those small baskets set by the cashier to make you buy more stuff. that shit was awesome and i had no idea where to find it once mine ran out. we'll see how she does on the b&b smells.
