I think that “More Pink Please” is a hysterical name for a perfume.
It is a really wonderful name. I'm waiting for the flanker “Very Sexy Now, Pinkified”.
But is a glazed apple really “what's sexy right this minute”? A glazed apple?
I just don't understand perfumery any more.
These kinds of perfumes just make me nauseous after about… 20 minutes.
Never underestimate the power of a glazed apple (intoned portentously).
Or “Very Sexy Now, Please”. (Please don't tell me they already released that one.)
lmao “More Pink Please”…. so glad I'm not an impressionable young woman and susceptible to these horrid ad campaigns.
what? no pink pepper? i thought that is what is “sexy right this minute”? maybe that minute (more like eon) is over? hopefully!
besides, if i bought something that was supposed to be all the rage right at this very exact moment, wouldn't it be passe' by the time i wore it? eh.
I really like the straightforwardness of the name. “Now” and the “right this minute” in the ad copy seem like they acknowledge that trends are fleeting and when the winds seem to be changing, we'll discontinue this thing. And as terrifying as that note list sounds, it sounds waaay better than the list for the 2007 version.
Or Very Sexy (any minute) Now…
🙂
Pyramus, in case you were wondering, now you know 🙂
LOL — yes, and then you'd have to buy the next one!
LOL — yes, leaving out the pink marshmallow has to be an improvement!
Hello Sugar!? I'm actually shocked to see you skipped their real new fragrance: Blushing Cherry Blossom.
But anyway, Hello Sugar is very good when taken in context. You would be daft to wear this as an everyday sort of fragrance. I'd maybe wear it on a date or something, but I think it's really more of an at-home scent. With that said, it's DELICIOUS. It's probably the best temptations line fragrance they've ever released. I normally never buy anything from that line, but I will buy the bubble bath, and maybe even the body meringue
On the other hand, Blushing Cherry Blossom is basically White Cherry Blossom part 2. Imagine a biiiiiig pink cherry blossom all over the place, decorated with rose petals, and slices of watery green apple. That's what I get from the lotion at least. It's very good, but it's not worth rushing out to the store for. Of their four Cherry Blossom scents, this one is the least interesting.
OMG, I'm dying here….
God help you if you ordered it over the internet, by the time you received it, it would be so… March 2008. It's like Warhol's prediction about 15 minutes of fame – perfumes have a 15 minute interval in which they are “what's sexy RIGHT NOW”, and then, bam, it's over.
I haven't laughed this hard over a post for a long time.
The Hello Sugar bottle is certainly cute, and at that price, how can you lose?
Poop-C, as of this morning, BCB wasn't yet on the BBW website, unless I missed it, although I've heard it is in-store. If it's got watery green apple, I won't like it anyway 😉
I know I'm stating the obvious, but you'd be out $12.50 🙂
And the last thing anyone needs is to be sexy 15 minutes ago.
Story of my life…
Which of the 4 Cherry Blossom scents are the best in your opinion? 🙂 Just curious b/c I've been wanting to buy one for a long time but I can never make up my mind and CB white is being disc!
Thanks! 🙂
I'll take it when I can get it!
oh maybe the abercrombie-clad, i-just-bathed-in-axe (axe is still better than BO however), flip flop dragging barely postpubescent boys have nocturnal emissions regarding glazed apples and pineapple pulp and such, according to the very reliable moutains of consumer research accumlated in this area of marketing… who knows who gets these ideas really, if i wanted to smell like a fruit salad i would buy a pineapple and douse myself with the juice…
but what do i know, this is a girl whose first bottle of real perfume purchased was a bottle of jean paul gaultier fragile (with three months' worth of chore money saved up, mind you, and also in retrospect, it smelled awful and OLD on me, too sweet and nauseating), and wore her mom's opium when she wasn't looking (as early as age 8 or 9 i think)… obviously not a good representation of the typical younger female today…
I've never been particularly fond of any of the VS scents. To me, they all smell the same sugary nose-burning concoctions that they've always been.
Haven't found anything to love there myself.
LOL at “nocturnal emissions regarding glazed apples and pineapple pulp and such”….excellent!
I just bought Hello, Sugar! as a fun, wear-around-the-house scent–it smells like lemon poundcake, which is one of my favorite things. Very close to the old Tutti Dolci Lemon Meringue product line.
i know this doesn't belong here but dos anyone know a good substitute for VS Breathless?
I'll be little help since I've never smelled it, but on MakeupAlley it's been compared to Narciso Rodriguez for Her & Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely. Good luck!
