Addicted: The ramblings of a Fragrance Junkie... Man Almost Blinded by Beleaf
by Marlen Harrison, 18 October 2005

Osaka, Japan - A trip to the Body Shop proved near fatal for one American man on Tuesday when a bottle of their “Beleaf” fragrance sprayed sideways into the right eye of Marlen Harrison, an American who claims to be a university professor. Harrison, a self-described fragrance addict whose sole purpose for entering The Body Shop was to “get a quick fix before heading uptown to Hermes for some designer shit” was caught by surprise when after depressing the sprayer on the small green bottle, was hit in the pupil by a renegade stream of alcohol-based eau de toilette. “The pain was immediate and shocking,” said Harrison...

The one who did not want to disclose the name was probably Keiko Mecheri....

Are you OK, darling? Was that musky fig any good as a fragrance?

 

[The-odor]

ROFL!

Looks like some very "eye-catching" bottle it was.
Marlen, I hope you're well now.

On the other hand, that's probably a way to go if one finds a particular cologne dull and uneventful. Though, there a sign must be added to the text:
"This was performed by fragrance professionals. Do not repeat it yourself.".

Regards, Odor.

You ok now?Hope that particular fragrance would never become a part of
your wardrobe.

Absolutely based on a true story!

The scent was "eh", but the experience was hilarious! My eye hurt for about a half an hour afterwards, but the funniest part was coming out of the restroom with water dripping down my head and my eye closed - I musta looked like popeye!

Yes, I had a head on colision with a bottle of CDG's Zagorsk. I was about to spray on my chest and hadn't noticed that I was spraying toward my face. It startled me and as often happens when startled I went "huh!" (a sharp INTAKE of breath). I coughed for almost an hour. Not quite as painful as your experiene but I can feel your pain. I have had the wonderful experience of accidentally squirting lime juice in my at a restaurant that had an "out of order" bathroom. I had to flush out my eye with iced tea!

;D Reading this first thing in the morning is THE way to start a day! Thank you for the laugh!

Perfumes seem to be fighting back these days. I got attacked by a bottle of Ivoire a few months ago. It leaped at me from my bathroom cabinet, with the clear intention to kill. Fortunately it missed, but the washbasin went to pieces. Ivoire survived and has been sent into exile in Russia.

Great Great Great! ;D
