TJ Maxx fragrance report

Posted by Robin on 27 January 2006 2 Comments

It has been ages since I nosed around the perfume shelves at my local TJ Maxx. Like most TJ Maxx stores, they have recently moved the fragrances right up by the cash registers, presumably in order to discourage widescale opening & testing of the fragrances. It hasn't worked.

Here is what I found yesterday: Azzaro Pure Vetiver; Cacharel Promesse; Christian Dior Eau Sauvage deodorant spray; Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Intense Eau de Parfum, Red Door Revealed, and Spiced Green Tea body lotion; Elizabeth Taylor — just about all of them (Gardenia, White Diamonds, etc) and lots of gift sets; Escada Sentiment; Ghost Deep Night sets; Guerlain Shalimar Light; Jil Sander no. 4; J Lo Glow & Still shower gels; Liz Claiborne Spark Seduction; Molton Brown Air of Joy; Nautica Latitude Longitude; Oscar de la Renta So de la Renta; and Trussardi Skin. There were a few Pecksniff's products over in the bath & body section.

    Yeah, it really doesn't work, does it? I'll still open and test right in front of them.

    On my weekly trip I found all of what you listed plus a few by Ellen Tracy, Nu by YSL, Gucci for men and for women, Marc Jacobs for men, BVLGARI Green Tea cologne, Lancome Attraction, Anais Anais, Noa Fleur, and Amor Amor by Cacharel, Cabaret by Parfums Gres, ESCADA Magnetism for men (bought it), and a few others that I can't remember anymore. I also saw this gift set of Gabrielle Strenesse (sp?) – have you ever heard of this? It smelled interesting enough and it was a nice gift set for a woman, but I have never heard of this before.

    And of course, the salespeople aren't paying attention anyway!

    Have heard of the Gabrielle Strenesse but haven't tried it myself.
