Life / Retail Would You Like Your Home to Smell Like a Moroccan Bazaar?
Posted by David Schmader on Wed, Apr 1, 2009 at 11:05 AM
Febreze would like to help.
Also, this "Associated Content" review of Febreze Air Effects: Moroccan Bazaar is the greatest thing I've ever read.
2
What I loved about the original Febreze when it first came out back in the nineteen hundred and nineties is that it smelled like NOTHING. Now it sucks and probably causes cancer anyway.
3
Moroccan Bazaar is not what I would want to label an air freshener as. I remember it being one of the worst things I've smelt in my life actually...
5
I'm also a sucker for limited edition febrezes. This doesn't smell anything like a moroccan bazaar, or ginger - which is what they say it smells like. It smells pretty much like all febreze smells. On the positive side, it doesn't cause an allergic reaction like some of their stuff does.
10
Just in time! I've been going with their Tijuana Fireworks Stand scent for a while now, and was looking for something that smelled a little less "recycling plant-ey". Speaking of which, how is that shit not toxic? Indoor air quality folks, it's worth keeping tabs on.
13
Sometimes I wonder what other people have in their heads. Turns out sometimes it's numerous conversations with themselves about FEBREZE. I never would have guessed that.
16
As someone who has been to a moroccan bazaar, no, I do not want my home to smell like sweat, dead fish, and open sewers.

"Moroccan Bazaar comes in a standard aluminum spray can, and is pretty easy to locate if you know what the Air Effect spray cans look like. In case you've never seen them, click here to see Moroccan Bazaar."
Yes, I can see where Febreze is attractive to the "don't know what a spray can looks like" demographic.
Seriously, Febreze is nasty. If your house stinks bad enough to make you want this, you're a terrible housekeeper. Spraying horrible chemicals everywhere isn't going to help.

I went to the store, and they were out. But there was plenty of Febreze Bangladeshi Flood on hand.

I really, really need to know the criteria David used to declare that review the greatest thing he's ever read.

23: See Fnarf at 17 for clues to my criteria. Also, this:
I was pretty shocked, and excited to come across Febreze's 3 latest limited edition scents. All of them were inspired by international fragrances and I was more than willing to spend $2.50 on each of them. I grabbed all 3 scents and headed home.
Moroccan Bazaar was one of my favorites out of the 3.

"one of my favorites out of the 3."
You can't make stuff like that up. It's a gift.
The same reviewer has reviewed something over 1600 other items, and is a huge, huge fan of household stink products, including everything Glade, as well as "luxury" brands like Yankee.
You know how when you walk past Yankee Candle in the mall, and even though you're on the other side of the passage your tongue starts to burn from the chemical perfumes? Imagine living in a house like that. It might explain the popularity of heavily-processed food, though; they can't smell or taste anything.

@24: I think I see what you getting at now.
With re-reading, what seemed merely dull and off-topic becomes significantly crazier: the oblique admission to a shopping addiction, the overdescription of the packaging ("light rich brown bottle"), the underdescription of the scent, the consistent lack of subject-verb agreement.
