    This is a funny subject. My 87 year old grandmother told me she only bathes once a week because you only have to use some perfume to counteract the smell. Which is hilarious, and a sign of a by-gone age.

      My currently-70-year old father never bathes unless he’s expecting several guests or expecting to go somewhere “fancy”. He’s been that way as long as I’ve known him. He insists that he’s “not rolling around in the mud” and that therefore all he has to do is wipe himself with a damp cloth. It’s why I don’t visit him anymore.

    It’s lavender.

    And mothballs.

    But, yes, lavender is the key.

    Is the Maniac supposed to look like Sammy Hagar? Because…that’s the first person I thought of when I saw him. In which case he’d be handing her tequila and coal tar sealant, I suppose, so I guess I answered my own question.
    Wait! Is it Doc Brown from Back to the Future? Great Scott!

      I feel if it was Sammy, It would be required to have a pun. Something about how you can’t drive Miss Daisy 55…

    The “Lilac’s and Draino” scent is probably a perfume named ‘White Diamonds’ by Elizabeth Taylor.

    Its used by old women almost exclusively. Don’t ask how I know.

    Anyway, nice Maniac Bug!

    My nan compulsively washes everything so I just assume it’s that. But I believe for the majority it’s compulsive clothes cleaning as getting old means a lot of undignified toiletry accidents :c

    Heck if you have ever had gastro you probably would know their feels… must draino/bleach the everything because you feel ‘unclean’ still *shudder*.

    In the grand tradition of internet-transferred knowledge, I haven’t done any research on the subject myself, but according to a friend of mine, “old-people-scent” is the human sense of smell actually being able to somehow detect their aging and progressively-more-malfunctioning immune systems. We find it gross because our brains are interpreting the smells as meaning “Illness! Disease! Avoid!”

    …or maybe there’s just a *really* crappy perfume company out there that’s paying AARP’s magazine beaucoup cash to push its latest scents.
