Old People Smell

Now it’s all about Kareishu. True, I have been stuck in an airless room with genealogists—and there is a certain bouquet—like dandruff and neglected WindRiver polar fleece. But on the other hand, my octogenarian in-laws are all fresh laundry and Wesley Methodism. So what does this Kareishu smell like? Funky towels, Peppermint? The inside of a purse? Ageism? Apparently, you can combat it by being fastidiously clean with yourself and everything your decomposing wreck of a body touches. I’ve been using Neal’s Yard products for years. They contain frankincense, the same stuff they used to embalm mummies.
