BMOC Research Tidbits
Big Man on Campus
Even college romance stories require research though heaven knows I've been there and done that!
The Latest RESEARCH TIDBITS
So one of the things that's cool to do in a story is have a "signature scent" for the hero and/or heroine.
But I didn't want it to be the same old spicy musky scent, so I did some research.
How?
I googled men's colognes. And I found the perfect one for Jack Hunger, BMOC. Since he doesn't have a lot of money, I didn't want to use one of those crazy expensive chi-chi designer colognes. So this is what I found!
Perfect, don't you think?
Here's the ad copy:
"Hard-working men don't have time to screw around with messy sprays that leave them smelling like they were attacked by the perfume lady at the mall. They need a fool-proof way to smell good on the go.... perfect for gym bags... lasts a good long time"
The Scent:
"The Bourbon Solid Cologne offers a woodsy, oak barrel scent inspired by the rack houses at our favorite place in the world, the Buffalo Trace Distillery."
To get the intoxicating description of Jack's signature scent--and why--you'll have to read the story...
