Bigarade smells like a person trapped in a complex weather system, the wonderful scent of a guy's armpit and a woman's humid skin washed in fresh rainwater and ozone. ... It is a masterful juxtaposition, and smelling Bigarade is like looking down into a well of cool, black water. Your retinas expand from the strange pleasure of this scent. --The New York Times
I suspect this writer's retinas have expanded from sniffing glue, not perfume.
(I should point out that I saved a draft of this on Sunday for later posting, and Gawker pointed out the same passage on Monday. No plagiarism intended.)

Is it possible for retinas to expand?
I never knew they had Perfume reviews. Just like I change the channel everytime I see "digger the Dermatofite", the passage "the wonderful scent of a guys armpit" totally lost me.
I love to smell my armpit washed in ozone. Where can I buy this perfume? My retinas need expanding.
Man, I can't remember the last time I had a really good ozone wash.
