I bought a soap the other day that smells so good, I keep walking into the bathroom to sniff it.
It bills itself as a lavender soap but the fragrance is really the scent of the middle drawer in my desk when I was 9. Pencil shavings, postage stamp glue, rubber bands, library paste. Neglected homework.
Who makes soap that smells so academic? It’s Lush’s Ohh La La. Reading through the ingredient list, I see no pencil shavings, but I do find thyme (my favorite herb), rosemary and lots of lavender. Plus the grape juice that makes it run vivid fuschia when wet.

My fave glue was either the clag glue (white goopy stuff with a brush) or Perkins Paste (white chalky stuff in a pink tub with an in built spatchula)
