Yes, I agree. The sequence should reach its euphoric climax in the scent of popcorn, ready to pop.

Popcorn is the piece de resistance, the melting point of the hero's armor.

When I read the title for this post "The favours of flavours" I thought - the Mango. It is mango season in India right now. To smell first, and then eat the first Mango of the season is always a special occasion.

The spell checker has never eaten a Mango.

I think if women really want to keep men's interest then they should invent a perfume that smells like a combination of steak, motor oil, the interior of a Ferrari, and popcorn.
When I was at university, my art studio classes were held in the same building as my then-husband's math lectures. He came home one day and told me he had thought for a moment I was in his class because the door opened and he caught a whiff of "me" - that is, turpentine!

A male friend once told me he liked my perfume. I wasn't wearing any but I had just been using WD40!

I had just been using WD40! Holy cow--was he joking, or did he honestly think it was your perfume?
Per the opening post: the best-smelling and most invigorating showers I've ever taken were when I used this gorgeous red shower gel that smelled exactly like grapefruit. I don't think they make it any more. I don't like eating grapefruit, however--too sour!!

WD-40 needs to be very careful about how they use the word "lubricate". It is a cleaner, and therefore 'acts' as a lubricant by removing dirt, grime, etc that may increase friction. I know this, I use it all the time!
