    I happen to like patchouli. While hippies may have "bathed" in it, I think it was more popular in dorm rooms where an illegal substance was being burned in home rolled cigarettes. I never did that. But I still like patchouli.

    Nice description.

    I came very close to shorting my keyboard; it was difficult to swallow before laughing…

    I believe I have a sample of Colleen’s Orange Patchouli, it smells quite pleasant. Primarily one smells the orange, but it is definitely anchored with something more earthly. I think Bobbo was right on the mark with his descriptions, as far as I can tell; I have never smelled the pure fragrance.

    Its only rotten if it tastes bad and makes you sick. And furthermore, I have heard some stories of what passes for food down in Louisiana…

    It may have smelled a bit better had I burned it but I didn't want to take the chance. The sandalwood and the dragons blood were quite pleasant. I've actually been burning the sandalwood the past couple of days as most of the furniture is already out of the house and I don't have to worry about my wife complaining about the lingering smell of incense in the upholstery.

    My wife doesn't understand my like of incense. She thinks it's because I grew up in hippie towns. I say it's because I like the old religious implications like where the priests burned incense with their prayers.

    BTW, I don't know if I was too young to notice but I don't recall this odor from any of the hippies in our circles.

    Actually Michael I really do like yogurt and was just trying to make some vague analogy ---but point taken about the Louisiana food -- just a step away from bush tucker

    Ahh-- and Lou has pointed out the greatest success of Louisiana cooking --- if you can come up with a process and spice combination for making some weird little mud roach we kindly call a crawfish (mudbug) taste great ----we'll that's genius in the rough .

    Next crawfish boil is at Lou's --- minus the potatoes of course --- now that's an image ---beer,crawfish. suasage and a backdrop of Idaho beauty --- heaven I'd say.

    P.S. patchouli is still stanky hippie runoff ---- let's get back to that.

    Mark -- great mouths speak alike --- just an observation --- never could understand covering natural funk with another foreign funk --- but I do think if you could distill a hippie you would be left with a pint of patchouli ---- you can call it musky, earthy, woodsy --- but stanky better be in there somewhere ---
