Kan-Kan’t

If I were a toilet, I would have loved this scent!

Yes, you can smell the rose petals. Yes, I also get the sweetness. But in my free time, not only have I touched grass but also smelled real roses and genuinely enjoy the smell of rose water and rose oil.

The initial whiff was quite magical, until the scent settled down on the skin and it got irritating pretty quickly. There just is some high pitched note in the smell that really bothers, probably an equivalent to the annoying beeping of a fridge when the door had been open for quite a bit. Really annoying.

To me it does not smell like a rose but as the idea of rose -- the very first thing a person who has not encountered many roses in their life would vizualize the smell. Pretty one-dimensional without the additional depth you get from the roses in the wild.

Day 1:

- a kohlrabi bigger than my brain

- the close relationship between metal molecules with stonger bonds than most people’s relationships

- the clarity of water (makes it much easier not to get lost while showering)

- red flags, making them easier to see and consequently ignore
