San Francisco will soon have bus shelters…
…infused with the scent of fresh-baked, chocolate-chip cookies.
It’s the brainchild of marketers for the California Milk Processor Board, who are hoping the captive crowds waiting for a bus will be enticed to go home and grab a glass of milk after they take a whiff of the artificial scent and are cued visually with “Got Milk?” advertisements to be posted in the shelters…

Stanley Kubrick said it couldn’t be done. And he wasn’t alone. The idea of transposing the magic of Patrick Süskind’s novel Perfume to the big screen raised doubts among movie buffs and Süskind fans alike. And yet, on September 14th, Tom Tykwer’s highly anticipated movie adaptation finally premiered in Germany. I happened to be in Berlin a week later, and bought a ticket to the most expensive production in German cinematic history. Despite the absence of red carpets and confetti, there was a sense of excitement at the theater entrance. The obvious question on everyone’s mind was: how will the movie compare to the book? But as the credits appeared at the end of the show, I realized that a side-by-side comparison would only do injustice to the movie.
Tykwer’s latest really does hold its own as a captivating, entertaining film…
Perfumer Neil Morris rates some of the recent celebrity fragrance releases in The Boston Herald. On Baby Phat Golden Goddess:
I like it the best out of all of them. It’s pleasant and fun for young women 18 to 35. I like it because it’s well-blended, it’s round and it has really clean edges. Nothing jumps out at you…
