It will Haunt you forever...

This feels kind of out-of-step, a bit too late to the party, no? Kind of reminds me of CoSTUME NATIONAL’s Cyber Garden, which seemed to appear about a decade after its name might have been relevant. I think a more timely, and clever, name for this fragrance might have been something like Scandalous Selfie or Phone Hack Sex Vid. LOL
I suppose. From the use of actual tape in the imagery (although I used the rated G version, there’s also a woman in bed with an actual old-school camera), I guess it’s supposed to be retro?
Phone Hack Sex Vid — perfect!
Maybe it is supposed to be retro. I can’t wait to feel like I’m right there in the room with Rob Lowe, Tommy Lee, and Pam Anderson!
🙂
First thought, the night can’t be that secret if it’s been taped. Second thought, this reminds me of “Hijacking the Runway: How Celebrities Are Stealing the Spotlight from Fashion Designers”, where sex tapes were mentioned, NOT admiringly. Third thought, that I was wrong that Putain des Palaces couldn’t be beaten for the perfume name I would least like to utter.
LOL…true, Etat Libre d’Orange has been bested at their own game.
Don’t forget the time that etat libre basically tried to name one of their perfumes pinoy sex slave. Yuck.
Oh, I did forget that!
Make that Philippine Houseboy. Still in poor taste though.
The problem with trying to evoke one’s “deepest memor(y) of unbridled passion, lust and ecstasy,” is that scent memories are very individual things. The remainder of last year’s hay, diesel exhaust, an over application of Polo, and a faint hint of Irish Spring can remind one person of a first love, another of a fond uncle, and another of nothing in particular.
Vintage Rochas Femme ain’t walkin’ through that door. 😉
Dear Robin, please come clean… you really wanted to post something but today there were no perfume launches, so you went ahead and posted one of the unpublished entries to the Prix Eau Faux instead…. its the only way I’m believing this!!! 😉
I seriously think I could do a whole week of completely made up perfumes and nobody would notice!
