Brant here, reporting live from the front lines of Workplace Aromatic Warfare, where the air is thick with… well, everything. You know that moment when you walk into the office and immediately wonder if someone tried to baptize themselves in a vat of “Mountain Thunderstorm Noir”? Yeah, Sherri and I stumbled across a news item about folks begging their coworkers to tone down the cologne, and let me tell you, it hit me right in the sinuses.
Naturally, my first instinct was to grab an acoustic guitar and write a song. Thus was born “Too Fresh Too Clean,” a heartfelt workplace intervention ballad staged in a conference room, where HR gently says,
Your performance is outstanding, but your musk oak is aggressive.
I went deep for this one. I researched fragrance terminology like I was preparing for a TED Talk titled “Tonka Bean: Friend or Foe?” I learned that cedar, vanilla, oak, and musk aren’t just things you find in a forest… they’re apparently things you can weaponize in a professional environment.
Click PLAY for a song that’s equal parts cautionary tale and olfactory public service announcement. And if you’ve ever wondered whether your “signature scent” might be staging a hostile takeover of the office air supply, this one’s for you.
