At least this cologne smells better than a Fraternity House

A few weeks ago we thought the world was coming to an end the with arrival of a Penn State University Cologne. And the only two comments received on that blog post were suspicously written from the same computer on two different days (shame on you paid blog commenter). Nevertheless, in the age of “if you can’t beat them, join them”, Burger King has launched its very own cologne.

Penn State Perfume…The End of The World is Near

SplashBlogger — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:12:47 +0000

I have written before about the absurd explosion of celebrity perfumes, but clearly our message did not resonate with this woman. Katie Masich of Masik Collegiate Fragrances has started making perfumes and colognes named after colleges and their sports teams. Penn State Perfume??? Really??? I have been to that campus, and the only smell I can remember is the putrid dry spilled beer on the fraternity house floors.

Announcing a great Customer Review Site

SplashBlogger — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 14:36:52 +0000

One of the things that we love about the Internet how it has opened up the accountability of businesses, big and small, by enabling customers to publicly praise or vent about a product or service. The newest site to jump on the crowdsourcing trend is called www.GetSatisfaction.com. We added our store to the site so you can go and hail us or kill us. We embrace the good and bad reviews, hoping to build on the good, and minimize the bad as we keep groiwng. Here is a sample product review of Issey Miyake. Check out their site to add more reviews.

No More Reaganomics…But we still love the 80’s

SplashBlogger — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 19:13:29 +0000

The days of 80’s politics came to an end last night with the election of Barack Obama to the highest office in our land. This is a clear move away from the policies of the 1980’s and Reaganomics. But not everything from that era is being thrown out with the bathwater…what’s old is new again in the world of perfumes. The LA Times is reporting that trends in fragrances are shifting back towards the musty heavy “power” smells of the decade that brought us poofy hair and ALF. Perfume lovers are going back to the age old smells of Shalimar, Opium, and Poison. We have been selling perfumes since 1983, and can attest to the timeless nature of those scents.

Gaining a little bit of respect for Ms. Paris Hilton

Even though her perfumes smell nice, we have taken some shots at Paris Hilton. But even we have to give credit where its due. In case you have not seen this all over the net, here is Paris Hilton’s response to McCain’s ridiculous campaign ad.

TeamSugar has put together a slideshow of the ugliest perfume bottles ever. I can’t say I agree with all of them , but some are right on (shame on you Animale by Animale!)

A wonderful mini commercial/movie from Prada Perfume

I really enjoyed this commercial for Prada Fragrance. They are so creative. The music is great and the poem is beautiful.

A Principle That Needs Principles

SplashBlogger — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 18:19:54 +0000

This story out of the Orlando, Florida area just came across my radar. A 13 year old girl was suspended from school for 3 days for wearing perfume.

Talk about overreaching your authority! This principal is way off course with this decision.

My favorite part of the story is the mom’s statement. Her argument is genius. “If she goes to school stinking they’re going to be calling children and family services on me saying I’m an unfit mother,” Jordon said. “She goes to school clean and they’re suspending her so she’s getting punished either way.”
