Go back a decade or two earlier, and we could also have Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Grace Slick, Joni Mitchell, Judy Collins, Joan Baez, Dusty Springfield, Janis Joplin . . . lots of inspiration. Maybe some niche perfumers could create an “Homage to” series.

I agree with the majority of the above sentiment, that it will probably stay in safe and approachable category. It just makes me think about how much the packaging and advertising comes into play here.

Makes me think of axe. Here’s why- they have just taken some basic men’s cologne models of fragrance, cheapened them down and packaged them in an edgy youthful mystique.

Take their instinct addition to their line. Bay rum. Totally normal old bay rum. But the initial perception is skewed so much by the edgy marketing campaign.

I bet they could put it (black star) into a shiny metal bottle, and call it silver star by hannah montana. I think it’d probably come across just as well.

BUT if he would just hire me, everything would be different!
It’d obviously be androgynous. He’s also kind of campy and tacky… so something glamorous without class.
There’d NEED to be leather. Maybe powdery iris too.
He’s a big ~*party boy*~, so maybe some boozy notes. Vodka seems to be his beverage of choice.

In 2007 he had a rhinestone encrusted mic, and in 2008 he had a glittery mic so the bottle would have to be sparkly, obviously.

don’t hurt my gravatar’s feelings ; ____ ;
