Satan’s Cologne too rich for your blood? Well here at The Cow we are pleased to be able to point you to a real world alternative. Yes shoppers, at the Demeter Fragrance Library you can purchase the fragrance of Holy Water in your choice of Cologne, Calming Spray or Bath & Shower Gel.
Fight vampires and smell nice too!
UPDATE: I just noticed that ‘Funeral Home’, one of the fragrances in the Library, was designed by Christopher Brosius from ‘I Hate Perfume’, who has been mentioned in despatches previously.

While you’re there, be sure to spray on a little Laundromat, or Riding Crop. Or maybe Funeral Home is more your thing.
You can bet that I’ve put a dozen of these gems on order!

So it is Norman, so it is.
Just wondering Norman, have you ever heard of a thing called irony? No, perhaps not.
Nard or Spikenard, is a plant that grows widely throughout Asia. You should be able to buy it as an essential oil at a good herbalist. It is possible also that the nard referred to in the bible is actually lavender, nard being the ancient greek name for lavender.
If I were you, I’d get both, mix ’em together and then you’d be sure of being somewhere in the right ballpark.
