As mentioned in a previous post, How To Shave Six Years Off Your Face, I endeavored to perform an experiment over the weekend to determine if I could "trick" men into thinking I was younger than my real age by wearing grapefruit scents. On day 1, I took a grapefruit that I bought from the grocery store, squeezed out the juice, and then applied it to my body. On the second day, I wore Clean perfume.
You will never believe this, but the average age offered by the random and unsuspecting males while I was wearing "the natural juice" was five years younger than my real age. Sadly, on day 2 I was perceived on average as a year older when I wore Clean .
The obvious problem with the experiment was the uncomfortable sticky feeling of the homemade eau de grapefruit juice, as well as the bees and the bugs were so-o-o haute for me.
Clean is one of my favorite scents. Sniff...so sad. I would love to wear that and look younger, too!
I found grapefruit soap over the weekend from TJ Maxx that smells just like the homemade
eau de grapefruit. Although Dr. White, my esteemed psychology prof from college, would not give me an A for this project -- (he would say, "Blondie, Where is your control group?" -- I will report the results to you soon.
Perfumes can be purchased from Sephora.
