Sensory Delights

The other day, in class I realized that I had forgotten to put on deodorant. This is usually cause for alarm, but then I remembered I was in France and this was totally normal.

I was at the grocery store getting shampoo and noticed there was a very small deodorant selection. This selection was dwarfed however, by the AXE selection. If you dont know what AXE is, its essentially spray on deodorant meets cologne. Very popular with boys between 6th and 9th grade. It comes in scents ranging from bathroom cleaning solution, to summer time bathroom cleaning solution. No one would use it, if it weren't for clever marketing. So great I think, everyone if France can now run around smelling like an 8th grade boy after gym class.

Luckily, I brought two sticks of Old Spice.
