scents

 The bedroom was a bit stuffy this morning so I decided to start a new scented candle I'd gotten as a gift.  The name of the scent was “Sanctuary” so it sounded relaxing - appropriate for the bedroom. A little while later, as I was checking my email, I could smell the candle all the way at the other end of the house in my office. It was not a good scent to me. It smelled like hospital waiting rooms or public bathrooms. I couldn't figure out where I'd smelled it before at first and then it struck me, as I was snuffing the candle and putting it away. It smelled exactly like sanitary napkins. 

Eau de Kotex. 

Although the gift was a sweet gesture, the candle is in the bin now.
