Seriously, the generalization is about PERFUME -- Europeans aren't "supposed" to want to smell clean and fresh, they are supposed to want to smell sexy. Americans are supposed to like cleaner, less sexy fragrances. This has long been held to be one of the big differences between French & American tastes in perfume, the other being that the French typically liked subtle scents, Americans liked big sillage. I don't claim it is true. I have no desire to smell like "Warm Cotton" myself. LOL — ok, you guys are on to me!

We just had a water closet installed in our house in Germany. Nobody knows how to use it though. All this new fashionable stuff is so beyond me. What is wrong with a hole in the gound? Lol, I love this generalisations... Way back, I was asked by an American friend, if we had telephones in Germany... I thought she was kidding me. But no, deadly serious. I replied that we had one telephone per village and that we had to book them a week in advance. The horror on her face was a delight to see. Oh!

Only meant that the standard line is that Americans like clean scents, Europeans don't, and I don't find that it always translates into what sells.

Apparently the market for just-out-of-the-shower soapy scents is endless. I'd rather just wash, myself, but what do I know? These apparently sell well even in Europe, where supposedly people aren't so obsessed with cleanliness as we are here. K, so nice to see you!

These Clean people have worn out their gimmick, in my opinion. I can't imagine what Lather and Shower Fresh could accomplish that the prior variations on the soapy clean theme did not.
