Playboy Play It Rock ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 11 July 2011 18 Comments

Playboy Play It Rock

Playboy Fragrances has launched Play It Rock, a new fragrance for women:

Playboy's rock-n-roll world is charged with talented musicians, glam celebrities and cool gigs at the swankiest venues. And if you want a piece of the action, you need the attitude and the audacity to go get it. New Play It Rock reveals your edgy, fiery side. It gives you the spark you need to lure him in. Go and rock his world with a glint in your eye, a lick of your lips and a swing of your leather-clad hips.

The notes include blood orange, candy apple, saffron, passion flower, frangipani, orange blossom, black ebony, vanilla, patchouli and fleur de cuir.

Playboy Play It Rock is available in 30, 50 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette. (via playboyfragrances)

    An awful name indeed – and, I’m guessing, a rejected brief from Victoria Secret?

      But I guess the 1st three must have sold, right? And they sounded about the same.

        They all smelled similar to each other, too…cheap. In more ways than one.

    Fruit? Check.
    Florals? Check.
    Ever trendy Patchouli? Yeah baby, YEAH!

    Something tells me I’m going to be skipping this one.

    I think it’s safe to assume this is the first in a series…soon to be followed by “Play It Jazz, Play It Blues, Play it Country” , maybe?

      Ugh… That’s seriously made me cringe/shiver. Especially since you’re probably 100% right.

    Is black ebony a note?

      It sounds redundant.

        That was my thought, too, but I consulted the venerable repository of wisdom that is Wikipedia and learned that some varieties of ebony wood are not necessarily black. So I guess it’s not as redundant as it seems. Still have no idea what it might smell like, aside from “woody.”

    I learned this wonderful term from an Eastern European: low classy. (Tere is of course also: high classy, but I suspect it won’t ever be used for a Playboy fragrance!)

      That reminds me of a phrase Russians taught me, nyekulturny, meaning “uncultured” and yes, “low classy.” ;-) It’s a stronger criticism in Russian that English ….. and it might fit here. As usual, the press release wording does it no favors.

    Since when did “edgy and fiery” equate to blood orange and candy apple?

    It’s the ideal fragrance for women in their early 20’s with fake b**bs and unresolved grandfather issues.

    Quite possibly the WORST ad copy everrrrrrr. So obviously written by men in a way that would appeal to a man. Can’t remember the last time I chose perfume because “I wanted a piece of the action”, clad my hips in leather, put a glint in my eye (fine crow’s feet evident), or licked my lips as I approached anything except a delicious meal (too much lipstick I’m afraid). Playboy should be investigated as I’m afraid they’re hiring 14 year old boys to do their advertising! Just out of curiosity, does ebony come in any color other than black ? And don’t even get me goin’ on the “leather flowers” . . . .

      It wasn’t till reading your comment that I went back and actually read the company copy (I skipped straight to the notes list). I am now both laughing and groaning at the utter stupidity of the print.
