The defendants then swerved into the victims' car and tried to run it off the road, court papers said. One of the women threw a perfume bottle that shattered the victims' rear windshield, the filings said.

Naturally, I’m dying to know what they threw!
I don’t know any “gang signs” but now I know what to do with scrubbers! Although, throwing 1ml vials out the window might not have the same impact! To make it more threatening I could scream out “yeah, it contains patchouli AND saffron!! Take that!”
In the comments on the article, someone suggests that it must have been “Eau de Ho”!
LOL…yes, the right patchouli & saffron mix would make quite a weapon.
Flowerbomb?
Perfect, but hope they threw something cheaper.
…or maybe Diesel’s Only the Brave (with the fist-shaped bottle)
LOL! Gives a new definition of a molotov cocktail. Are there actually gangs in SLC? (Well, we have them in my town, so I guess they could be anywhere.) Somehow I get the feeling this is just road rage gone stupid.
I guess gangs are everywhere. I wouldn’t even recognize a gang sign though.
I’m glad to know that I’m not the only demented person whose first thought was “what perfume?” Personally, I’d fling my bottle of Fresh Lemon Sugar (lemon bugspray on me) or my mini of Burberry Weekend (total gagging scrubber) or maybe my bottle of Britney Believe (I don’t hate it, but I don’t love it and it has a nice weight to it).
If I really disliked the person, I’d grab a bottle of Halle when it was 100 degrees out and let them have it with that. I’d throw Bond No 9 Little Italy (orange peel and cat urine), but that’s a little pricey to fling at other people.
Believe is also nicely shaped, I think, to break a windshield
I would use the opportunity to ditch my Prada Fleur d’Oranger. If only I had been initiated into the world of NST before I ordered that clunker…
Well, for the Smoke Bomb effect, you can’t beat Giorgio.
My brother once had a bottle of Chanel explode in his car (parked in a sunless parking lot on a hot day in Arizona). You couldn’t stand being in the car for about 6 months, but after that, the car smelled really, really good.
But WHICH Chanel?
Yeah, it does matter! Although actually, can’t think of any perfume on earth I’d want to smell for weeks after it exploded in a hot car.
Whoops, meant “treeless” or “sunny parking lot”.
I figured
My husband keeps a bottle of fragrance in his car, but has been lucky so far!
For some odd reason I’ve always wanted to thow a bottle of perfume at some I hate, I wouldn’t want them to get hurt I would just want them to go around for months smelling like a perfume they absolutely hate talk about sweet revenge ;D
Best served cold
How interesting to see Salt Lake City’s news hit NST… I say this because I live here!?! I read this article in today’s Tribune and had to laugh and then immediately wondered what the perfume was and the size of the bottle… don’t think it could have been too small or light to have done the damage it did. If anymore details to the story appear; name, size, if the victim liked the scent of the perfume that sprayed through-out her auto, if the perp was mad enough to throw the “weight” without knowing it what it was (could have been her favorite “sniff” “sniff”… I will be very happy to let NST readers in on the “juicy” details.
LOL…please do!!
The original perfume extrait bottle for Ralph Lauren Safari (looked like cut crystal) had some real heft to it. I remember thinking when I first picked it up that it could really do some damage if thrown.
Oh, hope it wasn’t something that old & rare!
Hmm if we find out what it was, then we’d know the answer to what perfume to wear when we watch Faster Pussycat Kill Kill (which I couldn’t think of anything for the movie post)
