Scent of a….State?

No, that’s not a typo. A company by the name Bond no. 9 has released a perfume exclusive to Texas, and to be sold through Saks Fifth Avenue stores in Plano, Houston, Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio.
Um, yeah…that’s the bottle. It’s covered in Swarovski crystals. But with a price tag of $360 a bottle, it should be come with two hookers and a bottle of whiskey. It is limited to a run of 400 (thank goodness), and sold through the month of August. The company claims it is supposed to smell like a “scenic tour through a southwestern garden”. Last I checked, the scent of cacti and dry-as-dust grass wasn’t that appealing, but hey, whatever flicks their Bic.

First!
Scents are such a personal thing. I use Este Lauder’s Pleasures aftershave. It’s a nice, clean scent. For women I like Salvador Dali’s Laguna. It used to be that you could only find that stuff in the U.S. at galleries that sold his art, but of course with the internets anyone can order it at anytime.
What I can’t stand are people who marinate themselves with perfume / cologne. Urk.
I lean towards the oriental scents, and tend to prefer classics like Shalimar. My sister, on the other hand, buys whatever scent the actress-du-jour just launched. She is…not as picky as I am
I recall the original Dali perfume, back when I was in high school. My history teacher was a fan of his, and when he launched it, she just had to have it, for the bottle
Well yeah, the bottle is really cool!
Hmmm, what DOES that actually smell like?
Hell if I know, cmblake….and I ain’t paying $360 to find out, either
Hmm…reading this post started a chain of events in my head, and started thinking of one thing after another, and then started idly wondering about crazy or different names they could give to perfumes. Or colognes for that matter.
Would you buy a perfume called “Eau de HornyToad?”
Or a cologne titled perhaps “Sweat Factor”? Or how about “Pitt”?
What the hell, I only slept for two hours last night, so guaranteed I’m gonna be thinking of all kinds of weird and/or crazy shit today.
Well, there’s already “Poison”, and “Opium”, CF
Opium is actually quite nice scent wise. My better half likes it, and has used it. As has my mother. (Waits for the Freudian references in 3. 2. 1…)
I have tried Poison perfume, but it smells of grapes to me. I did find that Tendre Poison is more “green”, and more wearable.
And that’s…interesting, Guy
