Air Freshener

Tomorrow (Sarurday) I'm going to the Ladies' Luncheon at my church, so cleaned my house this morning. After cleaning I spray some air freshener into each room to sort of add to my cleaning.

The one I use is a wodland smell/aroma. But I've often thought I'd like the aroma of a horse barn, the smell of sraw, hay, leather and horses. Think it'd go over?

If you're going to a luncheon at church I doubt it'll matter, if you're hosting at your house then not too sure.
Horses, horse crap, and barn smells, while distinctive and nostalgic, don't usually go with lunch.
Maybe if the men were coming over for cigars and bourbon.....

No, no. You misunderstood. The luncheon is at Church. The air freshener is for my house.

Ladies like the aroma of flowers and perfume, I prefer manly aromas, excluding the gym odors! But the smell of pine trees, creek banks, plum trees, the woods after a rain; that's what I'm after.

I'd prefer that to any of the "good smelly" available currently.

I used to work in a saddlery. Nearly everyone that visited, men and women both, commented that they liked the smell of the leather products that permeated the air.

Cut grass from Yankee Candle isnt too bad. Hard to get a pine scent that doesnt smell like perfume.

Somehow I just can't seem to make myself purchase a product called "Yankee Candle." You'll understand, I'm sure.

Geeez... The war has been over for a long time. Time to drop the grudge.

My son placed a pine scent deodorizer in the bathroom. I told him it really worked. Now it smells like someone crapped in a pine forest.

You could also go with good old Hoppes gun solvent. Just take one of those little tree air fresheners that is used up, and give it a soak in gun solvent. Let it dry and hang a few around the house. Now there is a manly scent for you.

If I could find a "sweet bovine", "leather shop", or "gun store" scent that was natural I'd be all in...some folks (myself among them) have very bad reactions to the chemicals in most air fresheners that can cause migraines and respiratory distress. I do use orange, vanilla, coconut and other "food" scents made with real oils which don't cause issues. Oh, and if someone could market petrichor candles or spray, I'd invest in the company!

My niece used to work at Yankee Candle and she complained about the number of people who used to go in there to break wind!

English Leather cologne ?

No! please don't

It won't be over until we get our Constitution back, all of the Federal military installations move out of the South, States Rights are reinstated and our Lawfull money returns.....and that's just for starters.

I must admit I too enjoy the smell of tanned leather. Not so much the smell of living cow.

I want an air freshener and after shave with Hoppe's #9 scent!

Horse barn is absolutely the best smell on the planet and I miss it and would buy a case of cans of that scent! Thanks for the memory Bob.

I could maybe pick out a stall, brush down a sweaty horse, and find some nasty leather tack. Bag it up, label it
Odor De Barn and FedEx it to you. Say $29.95 per month on a subscription basis for three pounds per month.
Anybody else want in on this unique offer, today only I'll even super size it to five pounds for the price of three!

Agreed. You don't forget it when someone breaks in, trashes your home, and kills your family members. The War of Northern Aggression is no different.
