Reminds me of a time I basically had a lavender scent overdose.
I went to a convenience store to get a mosquito repellent refill. They didn't have any 2-packs, so I had to buy a single pack one, but even that had a catch: it was fragrant, and the fragrance of course, was lavender. I didn't think too much of it and picked it up. I needed a box of tissues as well, so I grabbed the longest box available and brought it back to my tiny room that I share with a roommate. I get back, plug in the mosquito repellent device, and go to sleep. I wake up the next morning and it feels like I'm sitting in the middle of a lavender field. We keep the device at full power when we sleep, but because the previous refills were all odourless, we didn't really notice how powerful the device was, so we immediately turned it off. We both reach for the newly bought tissues since our noses are running now, but even then the lavender smell didn't stop.
At this point I'm struggling to breathe because I'm asthmatic and any strong scent would trigger my asthma. We depleted almost half the tissues trying to rid a smell that just wouldn't seem to leave us, so we investigated and found out that the new pack of tissues were perfumed! with none other than the scent of lavender. I went to the bathroom, blew out my nose as much as I could, ventilated my room, and took a half hour walk through my university till we rid ourselves of the smell. Now I switched to mosquito repellent lotion and make sure all the tissues I buy are odourless.
Reminds me of an old image that used to make the rounds:
"Want you house to smell great? Put two caps of vanilla extract in a cup, place it in the oven at 300 for an hour and your house will smell like heaven."
"I did this once and I though it said two CUPS of vanilla extract and my whole house smelled like the pillsburry dough boys butt hole for a month."
I remember that post as well. Was a guest at the time and I asked "how do they know what Pillsbury Doughboy's butthole smells like?" and I got in response "you don't know their life"
