So yesterday afternoon, I was sitting next to my good friend Tim and half-listening to a talk at BarCamp (half listening, half writing a talk I was giving right after the one I was listening to).
The talk was by Saya, and she mentioned that she wanted a boyfriend who smells of campfires.
I stopped working on my slides and raised my hand.
-all the time?
-yes.
Tim raised his hand.
-even right after a shower?
-yes, right out of the shower.
I looked at Tim and said “I’m sure I can make that scent, let’s try it!”

So, fast-forward about 26 hours and Tim and I win the BarCompany competition with a prototype of our brand-new all-natural campfire-scented cologne, Smoque. In the image, the bottle on the left is the actual cologne, the bottle on the right is the concentrated scent, and the hollowed-out stick is a packaging prototype.
The company name will be Rugged Scents (still under construction).
