Results: "Smell Ya Later"
Published on 01/22/2024
This is a US colloquial phrase that is often used humorously to say goodbye to a person and doesn't mean that they smell. It's commonly associated with "Saved by the Bell," a 1990's television show. Whether humourous or otherwise, mankind has always worked diligently to keep unpleasant odors away from home and surroundings.

Well over five thousand years ago, ancient Egyptians used aromatic fragrances to mask the smell of animal sacrifices. Most fragrances took the form of oils, resins, perfumes or ground flowers mixed with alcohol. Many of the documented ancient scents are still popular today such as sandalwood which is used in a variety of lotions, soaps, perfumes and luxury candles. Do you like the smell of sandalwood?

Scents were widely used in medicine to cover the smell of corruption and sickness of the body. Seventeenth century plague doctors were a sight to behold with their leather gloves, long coats and crow-like masks. The beaks were stuffed with things that were supposed to protect them such as crushed roses, mint, cloves and ambergris. These items are still popular in modern home fragrances today. Had you ever seen the plague doctor's peculiar looking mask before this survey?

As you appreciatively sniff your car air freshener, give a nod of thanks to an anonymous milk truck driver in northern New York. He had complained about the smell of spilled milk to Julius Sämann, a Canadian-born chemist. Sämann combined fragrances with special blotter material in 1952 to invent Little Trees, the first car air freshener. Do you use a car air freshener?

The modern can of aerosol air freshener made its debut in 1948. It was originally designed by the military to deliver pesticides but companies soon found another use. A fine mist was sprayed into the air using a CFC propellant that allowed the mist to stay suspended for prolonged periods of time releasing aromatic compounds. Do you have a favorite air fragrance?

Here's a little something from the bubbly (no, not champagne) company of Soapy Joe's in San Diego. They are home to the world's largest car air freshener. It's listed in the Guinness World Record as 3 feet 10 inches tall, 3 feet 8 inches wide and 1.6 inches thick. The company worked hard to keep it true to form by using the same biodegradable material found in their regular products. Have you seen the Soapy Joe's car air freshener?
