But mostly, things have gotten weirder. For one, I wasn't even sure which was the cheese or the deodorant when I opened up the device this morning to see what was left.
Well, surely the stuff at the bottom is deodorant, and the yellow creamy stuff that's left on top is our cheese, but I didn't remember the deodorant being so transparent. Could a mild chemical reaction have taken place? Who knows what can happen to any substance exposed to cream cheese for so long.
The smell has also become extremely strange and pretty much undescribable. I should start by saying it has never reeked to the point of being unbearable. Well, it smelled pretty awful for a few days, but no smell has really invaded the bathroom these last few weeks. It's as if everything went kind of stale after a while. The lesson here seems to be then that a generous amount of cream cheese left in a deodorant stick simply does not become unbearable.
How could I describe today's smell though? We're past bagels for sure. As I said, the cream cheese smelled quite bad for a few days, and went back to smelling like any regular bagel. But the smell right now... All I can really say is that it is a profoundly chemical smell. Take any random yet obscure product in a garage or factory, and you might come close to what this mixture of cheese and deodorant now smells like. It is repulsive without actually being repugnant. It doesn't smell good, but you might be curious about such a smell and want to have two or three whiffs before you're satisfied with the stench. It's that kind of a smell.
In summary, unrefrigerated cream cheese will yield a smell conforming to the following structure over time: Bagel - Dairy-product-gone-bad - Bagel - unidentifiable chemical product.
Of course, I can't really extrapolate on how the smell will be when amplified by body heat. I haven't seen Willy very often these last few weeks, but I will try to get my nose as close as I can to his underarms this week in order to report on these last stages of this first experiment.
As for the future, new projects are underway as I intend to mess with Willy's armpits with strange and interesting new substances. Stay tuned for more foul odours to come.
