Sunday perfume news round-up

Posted by Robin on 21 January 2007 4 Comments

If you insist on following the Jade Goody debacle, you can find most of the back story in today's UK Times Online article Beauty and the Bigot. Basenotes has an article about The Perfume Shop in the UK pulling Goody's Shh... perfume from their shelves, and apparently Debenham's have followed suit. Her bottle manufacturer, ironically enough located in India, has ceased production.

The Edmonton Journal has an interesting article about the short life cycle of modern fragrances.

PETA was apparently planning to disrupt a promotional event for Jennifer Lopez's new J Lo Glow After Dark fragrance yesterday, but I can't find any follow-up stories so I don't know if they did or not. 

Not really perfume-related, but Luca Turin fans will want to read his op-ed piece in today's New York Times: What You Can't Smell Will Kill You.

    Short but fascinating Luca Turin article. Who knew?

    I knew I never liked the smell of almonds for a reason…

    Thank you for this, R. Hope your weekend is delightful.

    I hope that perfume never sees the light of day ever again, or that the neanderthal Jade is made to drink every last bottle. The whole debacle has made me ashamed to be British.

    And I loved the story about the nuclear power plant & the noodle soup!

    Hope your weekend was lovely as well 🙂

    HA — I don't see why you should take any responsibility just because she is from England! I refuse to feel personally responsible for the foolishness of my compatriots 😉
