Repost: Is that a boiled crawfish in your pocket, or did you just request a free sample?
I heard a segment on public radio about the perfume industry and the changes it is undergoing. Apparently a new class of perfumes don’t smell like great perfume, they smell like the person him/herself smells wonderful. There was a bit on a perfume designer who can allegedly duplicate any aroma: he made a perfume that smells like snow for his daughter.
Who the hell would want to smell like snow when Weird Fragrances exists?
Presumably for the Jones Soda crowd, you can smell like, well, simply weird shit. Like burning rubber. Or crisp banknotes. Magazines. Fireworks smoke or (aargh) an ashtray. As of now, you can request a free sample.
Oh, and if anyone remembers the details on that public radio segment, or the book the interviewee wrote, let me know.
Update: This may just be a spam trap. I have received huge amounts of spam to an email address used only to register on this site. I haven’t checked my mail yet, so I don’t know if the free samples exist or not.
