Read all about Hillary Clinton’s new fragrance release, Authorité, “designed to evoke the olfactory equivalent of sensible shoes clicking purposefully down a marble-tiled hallway”, at The Onion.
I posted one of the Diesel Only The Brave commercials last week (plus a link to another), and here is a third, at YouTube.

Without a doubt, I will have to sniff Authorite…just because…but business world not withstanding I can’t imagine wearing a fragrance that shouts : “hey you, get out of my way! can’t you see the huge size of my…..” ….well, I wouldn’t want to offend anyone’s sensibilities this morning, so y’all just feel free to fill in the blank with any accoutrements you feel appropriate (or inappropriate as the case may be).
You know it’s a spoof, right?
LOL —nope! Even appalled , I swallowed it like a big ole catfish!
I thought: that’s it, the perfume world has spiralled out of control!
you can’t imagine my overwhelming sense of relief….
Well, I apologize…I think last time I posted something from the Onion people were also taken in…I tend to forget that not everybody already reads the Onion. But you should, it’s very funny!
oh no –it’s quite alright….I was laughing like crazy when I thought it was REAL…..I didn’t even look at the “source” until others mentioned it and then you linked to the Chanel 3rd article! This site should come with a disclaimer to visit the ‘little perfumistas room’ before reading….or drink less coffee in the a.m. to avoid that panicked -knees-locked-together hobble down the hallway!
TMI ? well, it’s your own fault.
Actually, spoof aside, Hilary’s real perfume already says get out of my way – I believe the rumour is she wears Angel.
Is that right? She doesn’t look like Angel to me. But then, I probably don’t look like many of my perfumes either.
I HEART “THE ONION”!!!!!! Awesome.
Me too. I reread the Chanel #3 every so often when I need a good laugh:

ohmigosh, I’ve never heard of The Onion before…too hilarious!
just read this…. it made my day.
so, so funny.
Hilarious! Never saw that one before. The Onion rules.
My all time favorite Onion headline “Mother Theresa sent to HELL in wacky afterlife mix-up”. And last week was “Sasha Obama to appear before Senate committee: Grilled on why she didn’t report $126 in babysitting money. High administration personal believed to be involved”
The Onion is hilarious!
I *loved* the Sasha Obama story — excellent! Missed the Mother Theresa one & will have to go find it…
While I like the idea of a big bottle of splash, I can’t really bring myself to buy them anymore – they’re all so…weak. But then, I guess that’s the point. Who wants a 250 ml bottle of something like Angel? (and I like the scent, but a whopping splash bottle of it is a scary idea) I’d rather buy a big bottle of something decadent (actually, make that I’d rather someone ELSE bought it for me) like a honking great 500 ml bee bottle of a classic Guerlain.
If it’s something worth wearing (Chanel’s Les Exclusifs Cologne, or Guerlain Eau de Guerlain) I don’t mind, but have not been impressed with the Marc Jacobs splashes, and Coach doesn’t even bother providing descriptions for these, so assume they’re very basic.
I laughed HARD at authorite!
Coach splash reminds me too much of Marc Jacobs splashes in terms of design- i wonder if they smell similar too
This is a prettier bottle though, IMHO.
The Onion is so funny! Their headline the night Obama won the presidency was “Black Man Given Worse Job in America!” I am still laughing about that one!
But honestly, I think a Hilary fragrance would be awesome!
Hugs!
I remember that…excellent headline!
This is all too funny! Thanks for the laughs–I needed it today.
Always glad to share a laugh
LOVE that Onion piece. But I don’t think sensible shoes “click” do they? Ha. Hadn’t seen the Chanel 3rd before either, thanks!
What’s funny is I skimmed your piece without opening “read more” several times this morning, and I swear, my brain had turned Hillary Clinton into Hillary Duff and I didn’t think anything of it — just thought, “Oh great, another bunch of boring ole launches…”
Seriously think that Chanel #3 is genius. Perfect quote from Anna Wintour at the end…
LOL … that Onion piece is too funny! One of my favorite Onion headlines a few years ago was “Starbucks to open in bathroom of existing Starbucks.” Love the Onion!
HA…I remember that one!
Hilarious!!
And Chanel #3 – Ultra Hilarious!!
Thanks for posting
De nada
Hilary`s scent? A fully revved-up, smokin` diesel engine aroma at the base, smothered ontop w/ a super-sweet, fake-you-out vanilla! Now, who would manufacture/market this?? :-0
Bvlgari, from the sound of that lolololol
Not touching that one
ughhh seeing “The Onion” was the biggest disappointment of my life
My friend Brendan would probably buy like 20 bottles of it, I wanted to email him this but I don’t want to get him excited for nothing
If that’s the worst that happens to you, you’ll have a good life
Onion or no Onion, sometimes I’d like “a scent that brooks no argument…”
Etat Libre d’Orange would probably name it something like: Kick A** and Take Names.
YSL M7!
Speaking of spoofs — Fresh will donate to “The Climate Group”? At first I thought that sounded Onion-esque (like Seinfeld’s George Costanza’s fake charity “The Human Fund”), but I see TCG’s an actual entity.
LOL — the human fund! I’d entirely forgotten that.
Wow, the Only the brave commercial is awsome!
You loved it more than I did
