The bottles at BBW are starting to look alike now. I’ll smell this one if I’m at the Mall but it looks like they threw everything in their arsenal into this scent..although the word “aldehydes” woke me up just now.
IMHO, they are doing too many fragrances now — everything about them is starting to blur in my mind.
The name does not bode well: the young man in the book Into the Wild dies of starvation…
Ack, so true. But I did not think of that, hopefully most people won’t.
Ha, just saw your comment….looks like I’m not the only one who noticed this negative association! My daughter came thru the room while I was first reading this —her response: “eww, you gotta be kidding me!!”
First thing I thought of.
I gave this one a smell while it was still a “preview scent” (they sell the mini’s for a mere 1$ during the preview), and was hoping for something a little more…mild. I mostly get a powdery apple/pear scent that would be more appropriate for a teenager.
Thanks!
For me, this is a lotion only scent from them.
And it really reminds me of the Mango Mandarin scent they stopped making. Speaking of Magos I really like the Bali Mango spritz. I was able to pick this up with a coupon and of course, since I like it, it is on the LE list.
I do like mango, maybe I’ll give it a shot.
OH , NO WAY!!! They need to do a little research before they name a perfume….the first and only thing that comes to mind is Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer –the story of Chris McCandless who (obviously having emotional wellness issues) lied to his parents about what he was doing and went trotting off to the Alaskan wilderness with no survival skills, no equipment or provisions …and proceeded to die of starvation and exposure! (Idiot) …I believe they’ve made a movie about it too. sheesh….
You might be right that many people will think of the book, although I didn’t (even though I read it).
maybe it depends upon how you responded to the book. If you read the book then set it aside saying “hmmm, well that was interesting” or whether you read it and were overwhelmed by what a complete A**hole the guy was….so much for me and existentialism , eh?
Christopher McCandless was clearly was sort of douchey, but he died a terrible, terrible death (made all the worse because he knew what was happening to him as the end neared–he didn’t even have the luxury of a quick end) and frankly that’s all I could think about when I read the name of this scent. Maybe most people won’t make that association, but it still seems like a pretty bad name for a fragrance. Didn’t they do their research? It’s like calling a scent “Helter Skelter”. (I checked. Nobody has. Yet.)
Hallelujah, Daisy! My idiot of a brother was inspired by Into the Wild and set off on his bicycle the day of his 30th birthday to “explore the world.” Thank all the gods that he woke up in a drainage ditch two days later and realized that, “Gee, maybe I didn’t think this through enough?”
Good Lord! I hope he’s on a better track now! (ok, he read the part where the guy DIES in the end, right??)
So… The Wild is populated by pink and purple leopards?
I mean, I see “aldehydes” and my ears perk up. However, “aldehydes” and “the wild” really don’t seem to mesh, for me. I’ll probably sniff it, because B&BW is really the only fragrance source close to me, but I’m not all that hopeful. I haven’t liked any of the recent releases, except Dark Kiss, which reminds me of a plummier, less-vanilla, more-woods version of Hanae Mori, and also of the part of Angel that I sorta kinda, in the teeny tiny trashy part of my soul, in nanomolecule amounts, really like.
my wild is….
Whoohoo! Party at Daisy’s place!
bring your purple leopards…..
My inner-trailer-trash just had a serious flashback! I suddenly feel the need for a velvet Elvis and long, nylon finger nails!
Marjorie— just say NO…..don’t think we won’t intervention your butt, cuz we will! I’m just sayin.
OkayokayoKAY, you can keep your Angel. And Elvis album covers are fine. But no paintings on velvet, and no nylon nails, girl.
I am ambivalent about the purple leopards.
SOOOooo, does that mean the mini-goat tied to an old car with no tires is out, too?
Good lord girl ! Have you no class???
At least tie that goat out behind your trailer!
(ps. goats are kinda cute)
Yeah, can’t say that jungles are really my idea of a “sensuous escape!” At least, my limited experience with the Malagasy rainforest (Ranamafana, if there’s anyone out there who cares which one) makes me think: leeches, 3-inch hissing cockroaches, biting ants, spider webs so strong you can walk into them and they don’t break with 4-5 inch spiders strung on them, and, oh, very adorable golden lemurs. Well, I guess it was “sensuous” in the sense that I had to use all my senses to avoid becoming some invertebrate’s lunch!
eeek! ok…..happy to be at home! where the only spider I have to worry about could sit on a dime and is actually kind of cute …so I allow him to live in the corner by the water heater! (for now)
Yeah, those webs really freaked me out. I could walk into one and feel it stretch agains my cheek or what-have-you without a hint of breaking, and you KNEW the spider had to be near by!
OK, folks, listen up! If you are going into the perfumery lab, leave your apple, appletinis, forbidden apples and horse apples at the door. Because you are stinking up the place with LifeSaver Apple air freshener, and I’m not going to take it anymore!
Couldn’t agree more. EVERYTHING seems to have apple in it nowadays, men’s and women’s scents alike, and it is DISGUSTING.
It is similar to last year’s Orange Sapphire mixed with fruit salad. Perfect for a birthday party for pre-teens.
Hated Orange Sapphire. Thanks for the report.
This reminds me of Ferragamo’s Incanto Shine… The notes are a mixed a bit differently, but I really enjoy it.
Can I have just the bottle without the juice? Because it’s mightily pleasing to my inner child.
