She doesn\u2019t have to worry about applying too much.<\/p>\n<p>2. Those irritating people at the office who are overly sensitive to otherwise pleasant fragrances will stop making their annoying complaints to HR, and will have to divert their time to hunting down those violating the strict peanut allergy regulations (that they helped implement).<\/p>\n<p>3. Sumptuosus Aquae is guaranteed to be 100% hypoallergenic.<\/p>\n<p>4. And, as I explain in detail below, on the off chance that you ever find yourself stranded in the Mohave Desert, you can drink it.\u00a0 Yes, Sumptuosus Aquae may actually save your girlfriend\u2019s\/wife\u2019s\/significant other\u2019s life one day!<\/p>\n<p>Mark Cuban, Mr. Wonderful, and the rest of the gang at Shark Tank will have massive heart attacks and take knives to one another scrapping for a piece of this thing.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 Because the mark up on regular perfume (the kind that is incapable of saving your life in the desert, i.e. \u201cnon-lifesaving perfume\u201d) is just over one million percent.\u00a0 Just below the margin on tar heroin.\u00a0 Well, Ha-Ha to that, because Sumptuosus Aquae knocks the socks off that silly margin.\u00a0 Why? Because of the pure genius of the patent pending, pending, formula.\u00a0 You see, thanks to the fact that only three people currently living in the US speak Latin, no one will realize (at least according to Google Translate) that Sumptuosus Aquae is Latin for &#8220;expensive water.&#8221;\u00a0 The formula?\u00a0 Water + Love.\u00a0 Yeah, that&#8217;s right.\u00a0 We don&#8217;t hold back on pouring in the love.\u00a0 We inject massive amounts of love into each and every bottle.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t wait!\u00a0 Pre-order your two ounce bottle of life-saving, fragrance-free perfume at www.SumptuosusAquae.com. \u00a0Workers at the Culver City Municipal Water Treatment Plant are standing by.<\/p>\n<p><b>Note from Jack Edwards:\u00a0<\/b> If you enjoyed this week\u2019s column, please consider using the various \u201cshare\u201d buttons\u00a0\ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Also consider \u201csubscribing,\u201d and we\u2019ll email you the column each week.\u00a0 Just click on the menu symbol in the upper right hand corner of this page if you\u2019re on a desktop (the three horizontal lines), or scroll down if you\u2019re on a cell phone.\u00a0 It\u2019s free, and we promise not to do anything with your email address other than send you the column.\u00a0Thank you!<\/p>\n<p><b>_______<\/b><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>WAIT!
