scentsy, for those of you who don't know, is a wickless candle company thingamajig.
i attended an in-home scentsy party yesterday and i came away with 4 things. well, 5:
1. a purchase (Christmas is coming, so no details allowed)
2. too much (delicious) food
3. wonderful friends!
4. the discovery that somebody at the scentsy company has synesthesia and, ok, so shoot me......
5. too much wine
#5 will not be the subject of today's post.
but, #4 will be.
synesthesia, for those of you who don't know, is basically when the senses get all fouled up. and so, what happens is, people who have synesthesia (i do) can smell sounds or taste sounds or hear numbers or feel colors or crazy stuff like that. without LSD!
so, yesterday, i discovered that somebody - or maybe more than one somebody - at the scentsy company has synesthesia because, get a load of some of these fragrances:
silver bells
lucky in love
my dear watson
be still
just breathe
echo
flutter
love story
whiteout
eskimo kiss
i don't know about you, but truly? off the top of my head? and even off the bottom of my head? i never knew that "whiteout" had a smell. i mean, i knew that the stuff in the little bottle to cover up mistakes has a smell, but that's not what scentsy's "whiteout" smells like. what scentsy's "whiteout" smells like, is, well.......nothin. and that's what it smells like to someone (me) who has synesthesia! imagine what it must smell like to those of you (most of you) who don't! i guess it must smell like double (or) nothin! or somethin.
i didn't smell "eskimo kiss" or "just breathe" cuz i wasn't sure if the scentsy people had brushed their teeth before making those fragrances. (the scentsy people don't disclose stuff like that.)
anyway........so, now you know........
"echo" and "flutter" smell like something.
which just goes to prove that somebody at scentsy has synesthesia.
or maybe just good (business) sense.
