Darn, I really wanted to know more about the Cher perfume. Does anyone remember her late 80’s fragrance?
Ms K – “Uninhibited”? I think that was it?
“Uninhibited” was also my first thought.
My friend has been amassing a collection of Cher’s Uninhibited since they discontinued it. It smells marvelous on her, only passable on me, thank goodness. Otherwise we’d be feuding on eBay!
I know many people still talk about it…she should relaunch it already!
I had it and I loved it. I wish they *would* relaunch it. It’s almost impossible to come by now. To compare that (and even the first few Liz Taylor offerings) to the celebrity scents now is such a huge difference.
Speaking of which, I just inadvertently learned a lot about the test markets for perfumes. It’s no wonder there are so many bad releases– I’ll just leave it at that.
No – you can’t just leave it at that – what did you find out?
I can’t say I ever smelled Uninhibited, but I can believe it was much better than today’s celebrity “fragrances”. Back then, celeb scents were much fewer in number, so they undoubtedly were given more thought (and budget). Now, with a new celeb scent being launched approximately every 15 seconds, they are churned out with as little expenditure of time and money as possible, in order to make a hefty profit before fading into oblivion at the end of their brief lifespans. I seriously suspect they are just recycling the same formulas over and over (with possibly some minor tweaking to disguise the subterfuge), and rereleasing them under different names.
I also loved Uninhibited! That was one of the last hurrahs of 80s power fragrances before CKone came in and drowned the consumer palate with air freshener fragrances.
Another big fan of Uninhibited here. It was my signature scent in my college years.
I just signed up for DSH’s lecture on Sept. 15. Will anybody else be there?
I’m looking into it. Just emailed my fragrance-fanatic friend to see if he wants to meet me in Denver for this.
Does anyone know a good substitute for Cher Uninhibited? While I understand that you can still get it via ebay – what is a good close proximity now days?
