Some marketing genius has really wised up over in the kingdom of affable/mischievous/hairless singing lads. By this, I mean that someone has realized that Harry Styles, in any form or resolution, will placate the tweens.
That's right: At a new pop-up shop, you will "pay" for Marc Jacobs fragrances with tweets.
Ok, I have to admit something: I love this song and I have no idea what it's about. I've listened at least thirty times (today, sorry) and I still can't tell whether Britney is singing this from the point of view of two women into the same dude or whether she is trying to decide which is better: Fantasy or Curious.ā¦
If smelling bad looks this good, then damn, I don't want to smell good. (You know what I mean.) These perfume bottles designed by a Japanese artist who goes by Ruby Spark are the perfect renditions of the villains they represent. I'm not really into the whole Disney Princesses thing, but Disney Villainesses? Iā¦
If Disney ever does get into the fancy perfumery business they had better use these brilliant little bottles for packaging. Gaston: a musky cologne with a hint of whisky, tobacco and stag fur. Ursula: a brine infused scent with a touch of sea grass. We could do this all day...
Britney Spears has released the video for her song "Perfume" and it is not good. We knew it wouldn't be good. The song is not good. The lyric video was not good. And yet, there is something, dare I say, interesting*, about how not good this video is.
It was a few years ago when I was the editor of a women's pop culture website that I started writing about perfume on my blog, YesterdaysPerfume.com. Trying to be discreet in the middle of an open office, I'd pop open a tiny one-milliliter vial of the decanted perfume du jour and dab it on my wrist with its plasticā¦
It's been a good week for the olfactory glands, eau my, what with George Takei releasing his very own scent and, thanks to the limitless capacity of ironic advertising campaigns to separate people from their holiday bonus money, the arrival of Helvetica: The Perfume.
Just as Krzysztof KieÅlowski had his "Decalogue," so too does Justin Bieber have his cinematic masterworks.
In making the lyric video for her new song "Perfume," Britney Spears has really taken the general cheeseball nature of lyric videos and product placement that's now mandatory in music videos and run several sweaty miles with them firmly clasped to her heaving bosom until she collapsed in an exhausted mess with only aā¦
The December issue of Allure has two covers: One of Ashley Olsen, one of Mary-Kate Olsen. The tycoons are launching a duo of perfumes connected to their designer label Elizabeth and James.
If you're a fan of Britney Spears' slower ballads like "Everytime" and "Lucky," her new song "Perfume" will be a sweet relief from her hard-thumping radio hits. If it's hard for you to stomach the autotune even in her dance songs, "Perfume" will [insert joke about bad smells].
Ooh, love this: Two special screenings of the 2006 film Perfume: The Story of a Murderer will happen this week ā and scents to accompany certain scenes will be provided. Unfortunately, the fragrances will be issued on cards and not pumped directly into the air.
The oh-so-fun lads of One Direction took the time to sniff a bunch of chemicals and "create" a fragrance ā Our Moment ā and in the UK, the scent has been on sale at Harrod's for a week and has already raked in £360,000 ā which is $560,00 ā as in over HALF A MILLION. In one week. This number includes pre-orders, akaā¦
Today in Are You Fucking Kidding Me, there's a new scent coinciding with the release of Smurfs 2. It is a SMURFUME. The target audience? Children between the ages of 5 and 10. FIVE.
Did you know that nearly 1400 fragrances were launched in 2012? Do we really need that many new artificial scents added to a market already saturated in stink? It's ridiculous and also kind of gross. As a comment on that, Dutch artists Lernert and Sander have collected samples of those fragrances and combined them toā¦
How have we, as a people, dealt with the foul aroma of a freshly bathed baby for so long? One intrepid perfumer dares to go where no person has gone before, and finally puts an end the malodorous stench of a newborn.
If the big, bad EU lawmakers in Brussels ā glutted with government-issued waffles and chocolate ā have their way, perfumed Europeans might have to wait until they swaddle themselves in a blanket of tree moss during a jaunt in the Dolomites before they realize that they have skin-scourging allergy to tree moss. That'sā¦
Good news for those of us who want to radiate perfume stink from the inside out: Beneo, a US health and nutrition company has teamed up with Bulgarian confectioner Alpi (whose website is very exciting) to develop Deo, a perfumed candy that's said to release a rose scent through a person's pores following consumption.ā¦
