Prune and musk just isn’t sounding good to me.
This one sounds way too fruity for me…but then, I’ll probably never see it.
I was thinking along the same lines, but the name annoys me more. So much more. Golden Dreatm. That’s what that freakin’ says. Just because you can substitute it for an “a” in your “strong” password (that doesn’t actually protect you because it’s so complicated you have to write it down somewhere) doesn’t mean it can be used as a freakin’ letter!
Why yes…yes this is one of my pet peeves. I believe it started when I went to see a little movie called Sesevenen…
Oh you are so going to love this: this company has a perfume called ” lol
“
Well, the commenting system turned the sign I wrote into a smiley face, but the perfume name looks like the wink ” ; ) “
I was going to say…don’t go look at their other names, LOL…
Don’t kids these days say “lulz”? I thought “lol” was now deemed to be so 2010. Perhaps it’s time for a flanker.
But lulz is not exactly the same as lol…
Which proves, I suppose, that I am so not this perfume’s target audience.
I agree with you 100 percent!! It’s a pet peeve of mine, as well!
Several of today’s articles are making me feel decidedly middle aged and grumpy.
Now get off my lawn!
LOL! You too? Was the other one the “oh, I’m so sensitive, you can’t use anything scented in the dryer?”
(Side note. I used to frequent several cosmetics safety blogs. People who decry other people’s use of cosmetic items (and I do include perfumes in that category) as something that everyone does just for someone else really irritate me.)
I think that what sets me off with the txtspk epidemic is that there are certain times where it’s perfectly acceptible and even desirable to use an acronym, such as LOL and the most famous of all probably, FUBAR. These people do not use them appropriately. txtspk does not use them appropriately (or sparingly, which makes it even worse.) I would almost be happier to see a perfume named in leetspeak than in txtspk. At least that would be some retro-nerd funny.
Yes
Yes
Yes!
I love that Musette on Perfume Posse started a new tag, “Crazy Old Bat” – LOL!
That’s pretty much the bottle for Ghost, isn’t it? I mean, gilded, and the waist is higher, but still.
I’d never even heard of Lulu Castagnette and the line has at least ten scents. I try to keep on top of these things — not necessarily smell everything because that’s impossible these days but at least know what’s out there — but this makes me wonder just how many hundreds or thousands of fragrances are on the market that I know nothing about.
They’ve been using the shape for awhile now, and I don’t know which brand used it first (although probably, some other brand used it before either of them).
There are so many fragrances it’s astonishing. The fraction that I announce gets smaller every year.
Dilana would like to announce its new fragrance
Not-so- Golden Age
A new fragrance for old, dowdy and obstinate women (and for dowdy, obstinate women of all ages who are old at heart.*).
Composed of prune, apple sauce and muskiness, and amber colored amber, it is the perfect gourmand essence for those whose gourmet days are over and whose diet is dictated by dentures and digestive issues. It is even better for those whom never were gourmet at all.
*Because this a perfume product, “old” means those who are legally eligible to vote. Really, the only worthwhile demographic are teenagers, or better yet, pre-teens.
This perfume, however, is not for those who are old, but are still trendy and dynamic, nor for those who are old and are so self confident that they are beyond trendiness.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic.
All the fruit looks good to me (I actually liked the effect of prune in Parfums MDCI Peche Cardinal) but I think the only way I’d get hold of this is if it ever hits the discounters and I want to make a blind buy. Agreed that the n@me is highly annoying, however.
Prune? Not thinking this is going to be for me. And yes the name is silly. Am I the only one who thinks this bottle looks as if it ought to come with batteries and be mailed in a brown paper wrapper?
Definitely not the only one!
Which sort of begs the question, what fragrance would you choose to scent yours?
You’ve just increased my interest in this product by several orders of magnitude.
Hey what does lulz stand for (Oh man, I am sooo 1962 :-))
Obviously, I have no idea (see above). Based on how I’ve seen it used, I assumed “lulz” was a corruption of “lol,” if the concept of linguistic corruption can even be said to apply in that arena.
I’ve seen different explanations. Wikipedia says “lulz means the joy of disrupting another’s emotional equilibrium” and that is how I usually see it used. Sort of LOL involving some meanness, if that makes sense. And you don’t often see it used by itself, as you might say
LOL!
instead, it’s part of a sentence, like so:
I did it for the lulz.
