    Well, that’s a novel pair of note lists…

    The vanilla creme puff still troubles me, I must say. And should we be inhaling aerosol paint (the grafitti note)?

    : – )

      The list of notes ends after magnolia. The rest is just the inspiration behind the scent.

        That’ll be my British humour misfiring…

      I’d be way more worried about those broken curfews…

    They definitely need to enter Le Prix Eau Faux 2011. It would be a shoe-in. 😀

    Agreed, jonr. I so want them, too. I have some samps from Scent by Alexis and they’re fun, though I haven’t decided which I’d like to own in an fb.

      In all truth, they’re not *quite* over the top enough for Prix Eau Faux!

    Oh my. No confusion on the target audience for these…

    I do love that song though:
    “I’m a ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-cherry bomb!” Can’t remember the band… Wish the notes had a little more of that attitude.

          It was the Runaways.

          You know what I’d like is a masculine cherry and woods scented perfume, (I’d call it “Black forest Pour Homme”).I’ve never smelled anything like this.

          Any ideas?

          Yes, the Runaways. Cherie Currie sang the song. I’ve always loved her.

    Well, THAT sets me firmly out of the desired demographic.

    Nothing screams REBEL and GRAFITTI like vanilla créme puff [sic].

    Cute, though. They should do well.

    I’m probably out of the demographic, too, but they got me with “old-school bakeries”

      That part had me laughing, especially paired with the “broken curfews.” Then again, when I was a teen the town we lived in was so boring, all we did was drink coffee at Dennys until dawn. Maybe old school bakeries would have seemed glamour and reckless.

    Holy cow…..fishnets……well, I don’t wear stockings EVER…so my only fishnets are lying next to the filter of my Koi pond and I’d say they smell mostly like ….well….Koi….and algae….and….oh, nevermind.

    Once I get past the idea of the smells of the fishnets….I’ll come back with a real comment….this may take a few minutes. ugh.

      You know, with “fishnets” next to “dragonflies” I read it as an actual net for catching fish. It wasn’t until I read this that I caught my error.

      Most fishnet tights smell the same as other tights. Just in case you really wanted to know. (Not that I’ve been able to squeeze myself into a pair in years.)

      Those heart/keychain bottles are just too cute….I think I’d remove the Cherry Bomb tag thingie….but the rest would be so fun! I wonder if there’s a place to get just empty atomizers like that….seems I saw them somewhere…off to the internet! 😉

    Could be good, who knows! I love vanilla as long as it’s not screamingly sweet. Pairing it up with honeysuckle sounds yummy!
