Transcript:
Arlo: What is that smell?
Janis: "That smell" is me!
Janis: I've worn the same scent for 20 years! I thought I'd try something different!
Arlo: NOOO...!!
Janis: And here, I was thinking you wouldn't notice.
I find that a remarkable number of women don’t really understand the power of scent. Why do their mothers not explain it to them? There is no sense more powerfully linked to memory. Passing someone in a mall wearing a particular scent and instantly, a girlfriend from high school 50 year ago is brought to mind. If a woman establishes a signature scent early on, her scent will recall to her lover all the wonderful times, and should the relationship change, she will know that he can never wholly forget her, because from time time, that scent will bring her to mind as if she were there in the room. Arlo could indeed, in time, adapt to the new scent, but her strong associations in the mind of the man who has been her one-woman man since college will be seriously degraded. It’s not really under his control. The signature scene is literally intoxicating. At least he knows what to get her for Christmas, a sufficient supply of her familiar scent that she will not repeat the experiment.
Very subtle scent, yes, it’s, ok. But a little more and she will find people moving away from her to avoid getting a migraine or sinus issue. I think this (justifiable) lack of tolerance is related to the significant decrease in smoking over the last thirty or so years. It’s amazing how much your sense of smell improves when you stop smoking. Sure worked for me.
Every woman has a natural unique scent, and I hate when they mask it with perfume. Yes, my sense of smell is very acute, but would appreciate it if women I work with didn’t bath in perfume.
Some people are listening to advertising a bit to seriously. Yes, the sense of smell is important, but don’t let the ad men overwhelm another sense. Common sense.
I know that I can’t smell Old Spice aftershave without thinking of my father..Me, I don’t wear perfume or cologne… I just lightly dust myself with bath powder in the morning before getting dressed. The scent is more subtle that way. I have a friend who has trouble breathing when around people who apply scents too heavily, but she has no problem being around me.
My aunt is allergic to perfume, she starts to get hives when some one is enough of a jerk to invade her space with excess artifical scent.. My husband get’s migraines from too much. Needless to say I don’t wear anything.
All I can say is,I am OVERJOYED that NO ONE has posted a link to that GODAWFUL HORRID Darth Vader Nooooo sound.I hope I didn’t give anyone any ideas :-(Lucas should have REALLY left alone with that one >:-(

Arlo prefers Eau de Status Quo.

Or perhaps, “Push me in the bushes.”

Compared to some status quos I’ve seen, their status quo has looked pretty good.

Arlo could find her with his eyes closed, now has to retrain himself to track her down by multiple scents…

Great name for a new scent: “That Smell”. "For Christmas, give her “That Smell”, by Roix de Paris".
It would also be the basis for a new “Who’s On First?” comedy sketch. “What’s that smell?”. “That Smell”. “That’s what I’m asking!!!!”.
