ZOMG Smells Limited Edition Perfume Oil (Limited)

In honor of a good friend who really REALLY enjoys reminding me how nice it is in Hawai'i this time of year: warm sun, mangos in the backyard, and...this fish, Hawaii's official marine ambassador with a name longer than it is. Cute, isn't it? That's a humuhumunukunukuapua'a!

Take a deep breath and read along:

hoo moo hoo moo noo koo noo koo ah poo-ah ah

Not so hard after all. :) If you want to cheat you can go ahead and call it a Picasso Triggerfish but you're only cheating yourself.

The humuhumu's scent is not even vaguely that of the actual fish, but an elegant, lightly sweet tropical blend befitting the majesty of official-state-fishdom. Pikaki, coconut meat, yellow ginger, and a few other bits wrapped up in a steamed green leaf.
