Smell like a rich woman

Posted by Robin on 14 November 2018 7 Comments

The Reddit thread “How to smell like a rich woman?” is particularly instructive on this topic, with users recommending everything from Hermes 24 Faubourg to Chanel No. 22 to plain old sandalwood oil. “You can also get free samples at high end department stores. Neiman Marcus and Barney’s are great for this,” counsels one Redditor.

    So what they really mean, is how to smell pretensious? I have serious doubts that Kim Kardashian smells better than me.

    I think this is hilarious.

    I have a good friend in NY who would steal spritzes of my Eau d’Hadrien edp whenever she visited my place. She’d be all, “Where’s your rich white lady perfume? Can I spray some, please?”

    I don’t think of Hadrien as particularly rich smelling – I mean, it’s not a Chanel or anything – but apparently she does. lol!

    Well, on the good side, someone suggested Papillon Perfumery’s Salome and Anubis.

      Probably a better bet than the latest KK.
