The other day I discovered to my delight that my favorite Whole Foods Market sells a selection of Demeter fragrances, and oh my stars, I was in heaven. The Prince and I stood there and sprayed ourselves silly with a variety of flavors, most of them yummy but they didn't carry too many that I would actually wear. For instance, Sugar Cookie and Chocolate Mint are absolutely scrumptious-smelling, but would my diet benefit from my being surrounded by a cloud of eau de chocolate? I think not.

I left intending to buy myself some Dandelion on a future trip, but instead I fell absolutely madly in love with the Holy Water I'd sprayed on my other wrist, so much so that I made a special trip back out later that night to go buy me some.

This stuff smells amazing. I can't even begin to describe it properly... it has a sweet smell of wood, I think maybe a slight note of cedar, and there is also a hint of Rain. It's very subtle yet delicious, and I do think it smells like the inside of a cathedral, a combination of wood, water, and candles or incense.

I wore it to work the other day, dressed in an ankle-length, summer-y white cotton skirt and blouse. I looked so very ladylike and smelled like church and I thought it was kind of a shame that there was no one around to tempt such a demure maiden into sampling the forbidden pleasures of the flesh.

Yeah, I have a bit of a church fetish. Shut up.

Of course, today when I COULD get some, I look like ass and have a shitload of stuff to do anyway. Maybe tomorrow.

So now my bottle of Holy Water is being carted around in my purse for the near-continual refreshing of my personal scent-aura, and I've ordered a bottle of lotion in the same scent to keep at work, and a Dirt candle to keep at home since I took my sample-sized one to work so I could sniff it all day long, and I still want to buy more, more, MORE!!!

I may have to quit school and get a second job. Talk about temptation.
