Robin, I think you’re absolutely right, but as IFRA itself, along with the EU commission has amply demonstrated, panic is not generally based in logic…

But isn’t it just a matter of skin allergies?? I assumed that IFRA didn’t even get involved in room fragrances, although come to think of it I don’t know.

Am holding off on writing for the moment, because, after reading the whole description on the site, it seems pretty clear that the artist would be the sort of person who would know this. So maybe they don’t want to announce it for fear that people will scream about allergies? Don’t know.

They are a very interesting outfit though.

Hey, I just saw a picture of those dumpster pools somewhere — boing boing, maybe? — and didn’t notice the Cabinet connection. Pretty sure the pools were in Brooklyn though. Neat, thanks.

Gives new meaning to the term “dumpster diving.”

This is the second time Cabinet has popped up on my radar today. There is an article in the NYTimes about Dumpster pools (yeah, that’s right)…apparently Cabinet has started the latest rage by having “events” in converted Dumpsters. Well, whose space includes a Dumpster cum swimming pool. Apparently, this is successful enough that it is NOT an olfactory experience…

btw, wish I could bomb my home with oakmoss – real or synthesized!

I don’t know why but I never knew the Latin/scientific name of oakmoss. Evernia Prunastri … I like it! I think I’ve just found my nom de plume! Now if I can just finish a project.
