Patchouli

mandysmithers

God, I hate the smell of patchouli. Why the hell do hippies/hippy types always smell of f*cking patchouli!!??? There's a woman where I work, and she always stinks of it, and it really lingers even when she's long gone. She doesn't even look like a hippy, but I'm guessing it's just beneath the surface

My name is URL

Better than smelling of piss, which is what I'd expect from any hippy

Fratton Fred

it used to be worn by 1970s punk to cover up the smell of drugs, but for some reason it has been adopted as a general drop outs perfume of choice.

i think it was originally used to put on dead bodies to stop them stinking the place out.

Whatever you do OP - do NOT move to Galway.

Like say that posh spice is for old men.... sry sry EDIT* Old Spice.

OP - how do you know it's patchouli? And would you rather an artifical crappy smell from something in a small glass bottle?

Seriously: don't hang around the perfume depts at dept stores. They'll kill you, if you think that's bad!

C'mon man!!! it's 2009, everybody knows the smell of patchouli.

Get a frikken grip.

Bit of red carbolic wouldn't hurt those crustys .

Might even help them get a proper job.

Because I know what pathcouli smells like, and nothing lingers quite like it. You can smell it long after she's left.

And yes, I most certainly would prefer an artificial smell from a glass bottle - far from crappy.

And I don't work in a typical hippy hangout, quite the opposite - I work in an office.

I thought this was a thread about Patches O Houlihan.

Sharpshooter

I like the smell of patchouli I do.:)

The problem is people don't realise you only need the tiniest drop.
When they put it on like perfume it's too overpowering.

Good man.

There's someone with a bit of class.

Sounds a bit like a bnlind man trying to tell me hates the colour blue! And I've been to a few "hippy hangouts" and guess what: they smell like neither patchouli nor piss. Oh, the stereotyping! Long live the paddies Irish!

Back to point: the hangouts I was in smell more of a frankincense smell, not unlike a church.

FlutterinBantam

Been to a few hippy hangouts myself pal, and the all pervading smell was piss,body odour, and cheap hemp , in that order.

Your ones are probably the more tourist friendly ones,i would suggest.

Plastic crust if you will;)

Well, most times I've got the smell of patchouli from someone, they've been a hippy/hippy-type person. The woman in work who smells of patchouli doesn't look like a hippy.

I don't know where you're going with your blind man analogy - I know what patchouli smells like, and I don't like it.

Lived in Galway for years. Crusties use it a lot. Some of them stink of the ****ing stuff. Horrible.

Is anyone else wondering how this thread took off??

But I have always wondered what that smell was when stilt walkers were around!

What are you gabbling on about this time?
Most people know bloody well what pachouli smells likes so why are youy saying otherwise?
More pointless gainsaying with a bit of anti-irish prejudice thrown in.
Living in "hot,sexy baaadass berlin,baby"(lol) doesnt make you any better than anyone else.

FlutterinBantam

Right on Degs, guy seems to think we are all rural retards here,country bumpins like.You burned him good there.

That stuff has been around since I was a frikken undergrad for chrissakes.

Patchouli is a great scent to use for a migraine/headache. I love the smell too! Ask her where she got it i'd love some.

What's a "Crustie"? Is it like "Paddy" or "Culchie"?

Where did I say "most people"? I specifically said "OP"?
What's wrong with living in a different city?
Where's the anti-Irish prejudice? Anti ignorant-gob****e and stereotypying ****wits, yes, but that not Irish.

Yeah... burned by someone who reads what he wants to read because he's incapable of reading what's actulally been written, constantly makes accusations that are wildly incorrect in order to cover his own ignorance and combats things with "who cares what you read in books"... Sorry, but :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Was referring to the theard about "paddywhackery" and "Irish bashing". My point being, we're not beyond stereotyping ourselves. But if you want, I can pick out "Anonoboy" who referred to hippies as "crusties". Not worthy of a ban though, surely?

Degsy

Hippies=crusties=smelly

They wear patchoulie oil to mask the stench of pediculosis and bad personal hygene.

Parasites,the lot of them.

Dudess

Must say I haven't the slightest notion of what patchouli is.

Its an indian oil that smells vaguely like cannabis.
It generally comes in waves off people with dreddlocksto hide the smell of filthy,unwashed hair and reeking clothes encrusted in dried fecal matter.

Dan Dare

Patchouli is even mentioned in Al Stewart's The Year of The Cat. Live and let live I say.:)

Dudess

Great song. So how are you finding life in Blackpool?

me-skywalker

im gonna name my next dog patch-ollie and smother him in the scent and he'll be the envy of all the other dogs and have all the b*tch's after him and..... he'll smell ROTTEN!!

Remember,the stinking crusties dont believe in leads for thier mongrels..a piece of string usually suffices.

Eh no. It's nothing like a Paddy or a Culchie.

Hippies and Crusties are two different things.

Crusties

• have dreadlocks
• are on the dole
• juggle
• spout anti-American rhetoric
• don't understand economics or politics properly but give out about both.
• don't vote but yet complain about the government
• drink buckfast
• come quite often from very middle class backgrounds and are still subsidised by their parents
• shower infrequently and use patchouli oil
• are not to be trusted

Hippies at least are pretty easy going and decent. Crusties on the other hand I've seen being quite violent and downright f*cking nasty to people.

A friend of mine once asked a Crustie in Galway "what's your dog's name?"

The Crustie got really angry, saying "It's not my dog man. I don't OWN him. He's his own animal so I can't give him a name."

My friend asked him if he didn't own the dog then why was he tying it up with a piece of string outside a coffee shop. :rolleyes:

You forgot that crusties absolutley LIVE for smoking dope.
When they've scabbed the dole every week thier first port of call is thier dealer for a half ounce or whatever.
They usually roll joints form Old Holborn pouches too which gives them yellow fingers all the way to the elbows and yellow teeth to match.

Life in Blackpool is fine, have not detected any patchouli oil in the air though.

Try the labour exchange you'll smell it there.

Because only hippies and dropouts suffer from the following:

Acne, athlete's foot, chapped skin, dermatitis, eczema, fatigue, frigidity, hair care, insect repellant, mature skin, oily skin, stress.:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

FlutterinBantam

oops!! you forgot the most prevalent complaint = BAGRASH

And in the females = Crotch wineglow

Happens when you don't change your jocks until they weld on to you,like a smelly greasy pouch of clotted matter.

Thats very true.
That and crab lice.
It goes some way to explaining why the dirtbags are allways scratching themselves.

Princess Consuela Bananahammock

Ah, the trolling continues!

Is this ALL hippies? Just the ones you've 'met'? Or read about? Or make up stuff about?
