well….it does come with a piercing stud……***snicker***
even with the goofy name: Sexual Secret Man sounds kind of sniff worthy.
casaba melon and lavender? eeeeeeeek!
Crikey! I didn’t see the lavender—-deal breaker!
So the casaba melon didn’t bother you, but the lavender made you call the whole thing off?
I’m not a melon-hater….some melon can be kinda nice , at least in warm weather. But lavender always brings air freshener to mind.
My two biggest deal breakers are lavender and raspberry! You’d have thought it’d be cumin or civet since I’m so skank-nervous…. but nope, it’s those tasty little berries….
It is a goofy name. Never tried the women’s version though.
I recently tried Sexual and it was kind of all right, though I wasn’t expecting to like it with such an overtly raunchy name! It was a bit evening-y and a bit of a smooth number, though I can’t remember what it smelt of exactly. it was fairly classic anyway.
I will give these ones a miss, I think, though the men’s one sounds quite pleasant.
One of the original ones *was* really nice…not sure if it was the original Sexual, but I know Bloomies used to carry it because that’s where I tried it. Have not tried the newer Victoria’s Secret exclusive ones.
Ah yes. I recall those had some erm… memorable and rather suggestive packaging. 🙂 I wouldn’t want to put them on display when going through an airport security check. 😀
Really, the original ones? I don’t remember that!
Not the originals. I believe they did some flanker with VS and I just remember the suggestive packaging of said flankers.
I’ll have to go look, thanks!
Sounds like a big ole pass to me, though if forced to choose, I think the last one could be ok…
We will not force you to choose.
The names are pretty awful but I’d try the frags. They’re dirt cheap in the world of perfume, whether that’s a good thing or a bad one still remains to be seen. And as for the free piercing jewelry? Thanks but I’ll stick with what I have. 🙂
What’s genevieve? I don’t recall reading that particular note elsewhere unless it has a more commonly used name?
genevieve?
I assume that’s a typo for genièvre–juniper berry. Is it?
I assumed that too, but no way to know.
“The irresistible scent that bad boys swear by.” Rawwrrr!!!
First candidate for ad campaign of the year.
Yep!
I’ve always wondered if I should ever try eating cotton candy in the bedroom…..
No.
I wasn’t interested in Tattoo until…wait – what’s this?! A self piercing implement included to use in the privacy of your own home?! Well now, that’s a whole different ballgame. Outta my way – let me be first in line! haha
Wait now — where did you get “self piercing”? I thought it was just a stud, you know, in case you were already pierced? But actually don’t know much about this subject, and rather late to find out now.
I’m probably wrong – they call it a ‘cross piercing stud’ as opposed to simply a ‘cross stud’ and that made me think it’s a do it yourself type of thing. I’m sure I’m just being goofy as usual.
No, you could be right. I’ve no idea how people do piercings. Not going to think about it either.
That piercing stud is probably of such high quality… I bet it turn green in less that a month. Just what I want in a piercing. OUCH!
Where does it go exactly?
???
Beats me.
I havent been overly impressed by any of his/her offerings to date. I wont rush to smell these, but if i see them in passing, ill take a sniff.
Might as well.
Nothing says sex like cotton candy or casaba melon.
For some reason this popped into my head: did Jovan have a scent called SEX way back when or am I misremembering?
Sorry, just Googled. Jōvan Sex Appeal.
Sorry for the spam, but I can’t help it. I guess Sex Appeal is still in production and touted thus: “…created by men for the sole purpose of attracting women.”
As long as that’s clear.
Of course, the box looks to me suitable for eye drops:

I hate to admit it, but I actually bought a bottle of it several years ago for The CEO. Sniffed the tester before I saw the packaging – and it actually smells fairly decent. (Still embarrassing.)
Don’t be embarrassed. If it smells good to you, it smells good to you, even if it’s dirt cheap. (I wear Tabu, and it doesn’t get much cheaper than that.) Jovan used to (in the early 1980s) sell a scent called Andron that supposedly contained pheromones, and I don’t know about that, but it was FAN TASTIC. Gorgeous stuff. I got compliments on it all the time. I didn’t know jack about fragrance at the time but I knew what I liked, and I sure liked Andron.
LOL at “As long as that’s clear”. Yeah.
I just could never take this line seriously- especially when I found out Michel Germain is a fake name, and that he is notoriously rude, stingy and not nice to his sales reps.
A woman in my office wears (overs prays? was never sure…) Sexual and it’s like CK Eternity on LOUD. Yuck (apologies to fans)
All about $$$ not the love of perfume 🙁
But many perfume lines are “all about $$$” — if they make great perfumes, I don’t care! If they don’t, that’s another matter.
Macys.com has the new Sexual Sugar and Sexual Sugar Daddy from Michel Germain. LOL on the names! I want to try them. : ) http://www1.macys.com/search/index.ognc?SearchTarget=*&Keyword=sexual+sugar
That one didn’t work! LOL! : ) http://www1.macys.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=512817&CategoryID=30094#fn=sp%3D1%26spc%3D46
Thanks — I put up an announcement!
