Victoria's Secret has launched Sexy Little Things Love Rocks, a new flanker to 2007's Sexy Little Things:
Wild at heart. A punk princess. Rock chick meets très chic in this rebellious riff on vivid plum, hypnotic violet and sensual vanilla, the latest addition to our glamorous Sexy Little Things® fragrance collection. Love out loud in Love Rocks!
The notes for the fruity floral scent include bergamot, peony, raspberry sorbet, sandalwood flower, jasmine, peach nectar, plum, stephanotis, golden amber, violet, cashmere musk and vanilla.
Victoria's Secret Love Rocks is available in 50 ml Eau de Parfum ($39) or 250 ml Scented Mist ($22). (via victoriassecret)
Playboy has followed last year's Hollywood, Malibu, Miami and Vegas fragrances with Ibiza, the line's latest fragrance for men.
Ibiza is a fougere with notes of citrus, kiwi, fruits, mineral water accord, crushed green leaves, tarragon, artemisia, lavender, black tea, suede, beech and nutmeg.
Playboy Ibiza is available in 50 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching grooming products. (via sfilate.it)
HA. That Victoria’s Secret juice naming needs a work-over by the author of Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation.
What’s the punctuation complaint?
LOL! It took me a second, but I see: the name of the perfume implies that things that are both small and sexy have an infatuation with rocks. A simple colon would solve this (but it would much less hilarious).
Nonetheless, I really hope I like this fragrance. I didn’t like their first one, Noir, but I really want a needlessly skanky fragrance in my collection. I hope this one is more floral, and less sugared-berries.
OMG, that made me snort! LOL! (Or maybe that should be “SOL” for “snort out loud.”)
I love that bottle, but am not so sure I will love the fragrance. Worth trying, I guess. Now, the Playboy bottle…not so in love with that one. (If they made their women’s scents in the shape of a bunny head, I just might be stupid enough to buy it.)
SOL ??? that’s great! we do a lot of snorting on this blog, and it’s quite utilitarian since it can also be the traditional S outta Luck….
Now that I see it, I love it! Speaking as a petite rock-hound I say it’s true!
Yes; sorry, I should have been more specific. I thought everyone read it the same way I did: “sexy little things love rocks.” And my first thought was, what about rocks are sexy little things so enamored over?
The colors? The way they sparkle? The way some glow under a black light? Rocks are awesome. I hope the flanker comes with a hammer and a geode.
HA! But I think they see it as a fragrance called “Love Rocks” in the “Sexy Little Things” range…so the punctuation problem is in how I posted it.
Well, I was thinking that, but even on their web site, that’s how it looks. So, I’d say you are blame free here, Robin.
There was an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer were someone had “Kiss Rocks” written on a locker, and Willow said, “Kiss rocks? Why would anyone want to kiss rocks?”
My dog and cat are both looking at me in scathing judgment because i am laughing so loudly at this.
Does anyone else feel the total Anna Sui/Rock Princess/Black Star vibe that VS frag’s trying to represent? Of course I can’t expect earth-shattering originality from VS. That’s just unfair.
The Playboy frag sounds like something Escada would create, even though they’ve already done an Ibiza perfume for women. In any case, it looks really uninteresting. *yawn*
VS didn’t do too badly…they managed to land a piece in today’s NY Times Style section on their handheld atomizer. The “Skin Deep” articles are usually a little more insightful than this one; it makes no mention of the perfumista horror of bulb atomizers and evaporation.
Right? I was waiting for the anti-bulb shoe to drop. Maybe that will be next month’s trend – “Bulb atomizers – the backlash!”
“Bulb Atomizers: The Shocking Untold Truth!”
Perfect! December may be too early, but surely by June 2010.
Yes! Clearly there was inspiration for this.
I love that there seems to be a commercial consensus that plum+vanilla+woods = punk.
I keep looking for the gasoline or cigarette notes which I had long ago assumed would be part of the bottled punk phenomenon. Admittedly, not everyone wants to smell like the floor of CBGBs, but I’d like to see some more exciting notes in the semiotic hodge-podge.
Yes!! It’s so funny.
I’m echoing everybody else: punk princesses love black bulb atomizers?
What can I say? In my day, “punk princesses” would have been an oxymoron anyway.
I’m neither sexy nor little but I do love rocks….at least those that are a 10 on the MOHS scale.
HA!
lol —well, guess I’m just easy then cuz I’m willing to sacrifice and accept rocks that fall as low as 7……not only that but I’m not even going to quibble over gold or platinum settings!
Hmmm…if the Playboy rabbit and the Sexy Little Thing got together, what do you think they would spawn?
An excellent question, LOL!
Sexy Little Ibizan Rocks?
A really crappy fragrance!
The bottle of Victoria’s Secret Love Rocks reminds me of a mix of Paco Rabanne Black XS for her and Valentino Rock & Roses.
That would fit.
normally i go easy on the judgement of lower priced stuff, but “love rocks” is hands down one of the worst things I have ever smelled. I was hoping for something trashy in a fun way but this is an instant headache for me: synthetic and pervasive. scrubber!
Oh dear, thanks!
