Celebrity perfume quote of the day

Posted by Robin on 12 December 2006 19 Comments

It's been an amazing and creative process. You sit down with the 'juice' companies, and then they show you the different scents. You then compose the scent.

— Sounds easy, no? That's Mariah Carey on the development of her upcoming fragrance for Elizabeth Arden. (via upi) Update: read more about Carey's fragrance, M by Mariah Carey.

    Isn't it hilarious how 'involved' she is! When I first read this quote I thought it was sarcastic.

    I guess at least she is smelling things, right? That is apparently more than Danielle Steele did. Whether her fragrance will be any better than DS's as a result is, of course, anybody's guess.

    Seriously, the 'juice' company? I mean, I know it's Mariah we're talking, but still… *gasp*

    Poor little rich, overly exposed Mariah Carey…She just doesn't get it, does she?

    Hugs!

    Oh sorry, I'm going to add to my snerking-

    here's a link to the whole interview: Aspen Park's Carey-ed Away…

    she further goes on to say, “The process was very similar to writing a song.”

    I don't know if that says worse things about her songwriting abilities or her upcoming fragrance, though!

    Ach, sorry, didn't know for sure if I could embed html links or not, but I thought I'd give it a try. Doesn't look like it worked. Sorry about that!

    Goodness, she really is clueless. I suspect the “juice-mixers” like to keep it that way.

    I guess she was just trying to use some industry lingo, but it does sound strange in this context.

    The one time I used the term “juice” in a department store I was immediately asked which fragrance company I worked for. It isn't a widely used term, and guessing the “juice-mixing” companies would like to keep it that way, LOL…

    Well of course, silly! Just like I believe she's composing the perfume herself! I also believe in unicorns and fairies and the yeti!

    Poor Mariah, hehe.

    Once again, I am feeling nauseated by all of these “Sell-lebrity”

    scents that are coming out. Is this going to be the new generation of scents?

    I'll be sticking to my classics and trying out other classics that I never tried before such as Serge Lutens and perhaps, Annick Goutal..

    Isn't that what Mademoiselle Chanel did? And then she picked the fifth vial. LOL!

    LOL — true enough. Let's hope someone as good as Ernest Beaux is helping MC (not likely, I know).
