    Isn’t all perfume about temporary bliss?

      Presumably! I’m waiting for the one that promises eternal bliss ;-)

    What do folks think about these big-capped bottles? I find them unattractive.

      They look like nail polish to me…not ugly to me, but not like perfume. Then again, I’ve never seen one in person. And I guess at least they look different, right?

    ok I’m kind of ~*naive*~ about these things, so I looked up hashish…
    I thought it was flavored tobacco and apparently it is cannabis?
    I guess I want to try this anyway.

    I kind of like the bottle, but I also kind of think they’re ugly

      Hashish is sort of like “pot-intense”

        Good way to put it.

        Not pot extrême?

        Krokodilgena, it’s the resin of the cannabis plant, so it is indeed more concentrated. Not that it wigs you out so much more, but you need less of it to achieve the full effect, and some say it’s more pleasant. Or so I hear. Ahem.

          I thought hashish was the kind of tobacco you smoke with a hookah
          I got a myspace message a few days ago from some random German guy with a lot of hookah pictures… good thing I got this cleared up before I went to go hang out with my new ~*friend*~ D: D: D: (jk jk jk)

            I think they were originally used for smoking opium or hashish, but nowadays hookahs are usually filled with flavored tobacco. So who knows what your new friend is up to…!

    The bottle is hideous, and I like contemporary. Looks like a bad lamp design from that angle.

    What is it with these people and dope? lol
    Hopefully it doesn’t actually smell like hash.

      The heroin one (China White) is lovely! So whatever they’re doing w/ dope, I like it so far :-)

    The China White bottle looked nice (and if the juice was beautiful, great), but this one or the angle at which it was photographed were hideous.

    I’m also finding the concepts in this series to be getting silly — like juveniles trying to be “naughty” with drug references. Tiresome, but maybe that’s just me. I’m sure urban hipsters just love it.

      LOL…I’m more forgiving if I like the fragrances, and if they can “live up to” their billing — silly ad copy when your fragrances are also just like everyone else’s is way worse. Nasomatto is at least doing some interesting scents.

    The bottles actually look better in person… I have China White, it is pretty.

      I wouldn’t mind owning that one at all. Glad to hear the bottle is nicer in person.

    Jonathan Adler makes a beautiful candle/”stash box” in “Hashish.” I got it for my sister-in-law for Christmas (couldn’t resist.) It smelled AWESOME! I should tell her about this.
