Hhmmm. Do you smell something? Yeah, that smell, it might be your future soulmate.
We kid you not. Locking eyes with someone can no longer help you fall in love. Today, it’s all about falling in love with the aroma of your special person. Yes, if you dropped the cup, we advise you pick it up before we move on.
Welcome to the virtual world of Smell Dating, a first of its kind mail odor dating service. The service has been created by Tega Brain and Sam Lavigne of Useless Press, an experimental digital art group.
Smell Dating helps singles exchange three-day worn t-shirts (without any deo and antiperspirant) and choose a t-shirt solely based on the natural body odor of the other person, without knowing the sex and age of the participant.
Love is blind and now odourous or odourless.
Anyway...
But will this innovative aroma of love work for Indians? Hey, we’re not stereotyping, but we aren’t known the world over for our fragrant selves.
Curry Mussibbat
We can’t help it. It’s in our food. Little did we know that the curry we relish so much can leave our relationship status bland. Apparently, Indian spices fail to tickle the smell buds of phoren people and the three-day old curry odour is enough to reject us.
Hair Us Out!
Let’s us not beat around the bush –Indians are hairy. Period! Why do you think we need the Axe effect? So, if you plan to get that nose of yours near a three-day-old worn t-shirt, may the lord save your olfactory nerves.!
Water Woes
Only if bathing was so simple in India.
It’s not our fault if we stink like, erm to be politically correct, stinkpots. The water that we bathe with is also used to service the holy cow.
And if you’re a Dilliwalla, there are chances that you might not get the holy opportunity to bathe at all.
