Prostitution or perfume

Posted by Robin on 10 March 2008 7 Comments

"Bodies slick with sweat, hot with the odours of sexual favours" is how Hennessy describes his perfume in promotional material. Sounds swell to me; I'm lonely. But is it prostitution or perfume?

— Columnist Derek McCormack considers Kilian Hennessy's By Kilian line and other "sex sells" approaches to marketing in All in a stink about perfume in the National Post.

    I don't understand one thing:
    if those who loathe clean – ozonic – aquatic perfumes say “Why spend money? Just get yoursrlf a nice bottle of shower gel and feel cleen…”
    I say, in case of loving a dirty scent why bother at all? Don't shower.
    That's the trick.

    I thought the title said “Prostitution for Perfume,” and I thought for just one second that it was reasonable.

    LOL! Good one, and I've been guilty of the “just take a shower” comments :-)
