Old Man Smell
By Logan | April 30, 2008
Some guy just came into the office, very nicely dressed and very
cordial, but reeking of the Old Man Smell. I don’t think he means to
smell that way, but old men just have an Old Man Smell (not you, Dad,
yet anyway). It lingered a little after he left. I’ll probably have
the Old Man Smell in another 40 years because I think it may be
unavoidable. Here’s my best guesses as to what scents contribute to
and make up the Old Man Smell.
– Shaving cream, the old big-white-foam kind that comes in a large
canister, you know, like Colgate brand or something
– Some old-school deodorant, not Old Spice, which is a younger brand,
ironically
– Living in an old house, you know old houses have a smell
– Clothes that have been in a closet for a long time
– Breath, because I think I read somewhere once that as you age the
bacteria in your mouth change and start to stink a little more
Any other ideas?

Eric MUST have some sort of leaping gene, as does DP, so I offically adopt two more sons into the crew, whether you like it or not!!! Welcome. PS-Mother’s day is this weekend!!
