So recently I washed my clothes, unaware that a sample of TF Black Orchid was in one of the pant pockets and must I say, the jeans in there smelled amazing thereafter. Not harsh with the smell, but definitely a noticeable sillage on them as I sat down at the office and I kept wondering how I smelled black orchid despite wearing a different cologne, only to check the pant pocket and discovering a now empty sample of Black Orchid.
I almost wonder if this would be a good idea to spray fragrance directly into the detergent before adding it into the laundry load. Anyone else have any experience with this, or possible negatives of this idea? It seems like a good way of using a weak fragrance to have a longer impact, say like D&G The One. The sillage of this 'infused' black orchid was way more manageable and actually made it a nice office fragrance without killing my coworkers.
Update: I tested every single thing you recommended!!! Mr. Burberry is the winner thank you everyone!
I know someone who smokes like a freight train and complains when people spray perfume around them. It aggravates me so much that people can smoke like that but their itty bitty lungs canβt take a drop of perfume.
I get that war tourism has always been a thing after wars, but I really doubt that civilians would just gather around the corner to watch a bloody urban battle, especially in a battered city like Cologne (plus, the sign is in English).
Was this directed at US rear personnel that liked to get too close to the action, maybe to get cool pictures to show back home? Or perhaps at war reporters (but weren't they embedded with US forces under their orders, and as such didn't need such signs)?
How common was this problem during the war and what was the US army policy about it? Were signs the only thing used to avoid non-combatant interference, or did men usually have to isolate a fighting area and secure its perimeter to let others fight with no distractions? And what would happen to someone caught where they shouldn't be, endangering soldiers' lives?
Edit: the sign actually says "Sight seers", not "fight seers". My mistake, thank you for the correction u/bikeheart! But I think its implication remains the same: curious people were getting too close for comfort in active urban battlefields.
Edit 2: u/Neuromante found another photo of the same (or an identical) sign taken further away from the cathedral. You can read it more clearly, and you can also see the lines used to draw the letters, which means it was hand-painted and not mass printed (my first thought when looking at the first photo, since the letters are so perfect). I remain curious about how common this was in the war and how the army dealt with it, but what happened in Cologne that lead to these signs being needed?
I've got colognes at all stages of use. Some 99 percent, others half full.
I've got my trusty scent, one I really like close to 10 percent. The bottle is literally almost gone.
I'm so sad, what do I do?
