Abigail is "an enticing scent of crisp pear, sensual summer peony and creamy blonde woods", and is available in 50 ml ($34.50). (via ae)

    Is the target newborn infant girls or their parents?

    Or just young women who like to be infantilized? Seriously, the whole thing just says “Playskool” very loudly to me and I can’t move beyond it. Almost creepy.

      Aerie is a sort of “dorm wear” brand, I think — it’s like loungewear for college age & below? So guessing that like most every other perfume, geared towards teenagers.

    2 more mediocre-sounding fruity florals… just what the world needs. This comment is especially sad coming from me, since my fragrance wardrobe is pretty much limited to fruity florals.

      LOL…that cracked me up. Hope your own wardrobe is not “mediocre” fruity florals though!

    Those sound neither vivacious, sexy or enticing lol

      Can’t expect them to say “meh fruity floral with nothing to recommend it”, LOL…but then, not throwing stones — haven’t even smelled either of them.

    I actually think the bottles are cute — but they do look like they are marketed to toddlers, especially combined with the names Emma and Abigail, LOL.

      Aren’t those two of the most common baby names right now?

        Probably for years now. Even if they only sell one bottle to all the tweens and teens with those names, they’ll make millions.

        On second thought, for the teen market, maybe bigger sellers would be Jessica & Ashley.

          When I was in highschool, there was another girl with my same first and last name, and at the school I go to now there’s another one.
          And there’s one in my friend’s biology class.

          My first name is Hannah btw

    Hmm, I thought the bottles were kinda cute, and before I read on, was wondering if I would be an “emma” or an “abigail”. I decided on Emma, read on and almost gagged from how awful that sounds! I guess I’m not an Emma. The Abigail didn’t make me gag, but it didn’t make me that exicted either.

      I’d be an Emma just because it comes in a solid 🙂

    I’m just trying to figure out what a “plum apple” is. Don’t think I’ve seen them at the produce market.

      I assumed that was a missing comma?

    So the scents sound boring and I’ve never heard of the brand. But those bottles and the names are so cute! Didn’t know anyone was called Abigail anymore… to me ‘Abigail’ is what Disney called the female farm animals in their cartoons (Aristocats, The Fox and the Hound…) 🙂

      I think it’s still a very popular name 🙂

    Forgive me for being overly pedantic, but in regards to the ‘plum apple’ mentioned as a note in Emma, there is a variety of crab apple in the Midwest that is known as a plummie or plummie apple. I wonder if they might be referring to this. The plummie is so called because it has an ovoid shape like the typical plum. When used in jelly, it has a taste similar to concord grape.
