Fruity woody musky floral? What’s next, fruity woody musky spicy animalic oriental floral cologne?
LOL — true, but at least it’s more information instead of less, I’ll always go for that.
It’s all things to all people!
maybe a woody, fruity, musky, floral ….just to mix it up.
Hm. Entire brands some of us have never heard of.
The only DuPont I know of is the chemical empire that originated down the road from you, R… and that’s not a great fragrance association in my mind. “The largest corporate producer of air pollution in the US”… an unfortunate name to share!
Yes, Dupont is not what you’d want to call your perfume in the US…I think they’re sold much more widely overseas, and I take it esp. in Eastern Europe, maybe? And in Duty Free. I never see them here at all except at discounters.
mmmmm Eau d’Industrie…..the scent that just keeps giving….giving you headaches, impaired immune system, lung cancer, and birth defects…….not a big seller in the US I’d imagine.
You know some of us would be lemming a sample if Comme des Garçons released Eau d’Industrie, though.
yeah, you’re right. they could do a whole series….Un Peu de Mercurie—-and we could say things like “wow, this really does smell just like Lake Erie!”
Eau de Mistake by the Lake? Would have to contain drops of LeBron James’ sweat, of course…
LOL and ewwww!
I personally know at least one person who would pay good money for that…
… ok, ok, I admit it – it’s me!
Dupont is a very well-known and highly respected brand name in France: (as Robin mentions below) it instantly conjures up beautiful lighters and luxurious fountain pens. My mother’s lighter (black lacquer and gold – from the 1930s) got lost in one of my house moves. I wish I still had it (not to use, but to wonder at). Nothing unfortunate about that name at all.
I of course realize it’s an entirely different company, Bela. I was merely commenting that the huge American corporation we know as DuPont has unfortunate associations.
Umm… I kind of like the sound of the notes… maybe? Of course, that doesn’t mean that it *won’t* be a hot mess. And DuPont is a weird name.
Could be nice! And you know, as sick as I am of pink perfume, there’s something about this bottle that I really like.
so, is the pink egg-carton-y thing the bottle?
It looks like honeycomb made by a hyper-feminine bee. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Yes! They’re known for their cigarette lighters (and pens & stuff) and I think this is a copy of one of their lighters. Here’s the original though:

ahh, I see. Thanks Robin.
It looks very industrial in shiny carbon…..but the pink one above? Ok, if I saw that fall out of someone’s purse, I would think it had tampons in it. Sorry Kitty, did I just ruin it for you?
No, actually, that seems about right.
*shrieks*
OMG – it does look like a tampon holder. And it doesn’t look like it will be anywhere that I can easily sniff- I can’t see ordering a sample of it either.
LOL…you guys are ruining my pretty pink bottle!
sorry…but look at the bright side…no one is ever going to steal it out of your bag!!!
OH NO! This is the second time in two days I’ve spat liquid onto my keyboard, laughing at something on this blog! When when when will I learn??
I’m waiting for Dow Chemical to put out a fragrance: Eau D’Agent Orange…Smoldering Jungle…
Ack.
I’d probably sniff something called Smoldering Jungle – but not the Eau d’Agent Orange.
Sounds like a maybe, but try to say fruity woody musky floral three time fast.
No can do
Twice, yes, but third time, my tongue went on strike and I just made a sort of whistling sound. The pink bottle I woujld like to see in real life, just to see whether it doesn’t REALLY look like a toothpaste and brush holder, or a manicure set, or something else from the $2 dollar shop.
I came across this yesterday in some perfume counter. It’s sweet fruity-floral in the first stage, that all remains is some rose and musky smell, no suprise, it’s kinda boring when the market is flooded with rose-scented fragrance~ and the lasting power on me is….mei……around an hour? for a edp that’s kind disappointing, while my infusion d’iris lasted for an entire night ( i can still smell it when i woke up today lol)….
Thanks so much for the review!
I received a bottle of ST Dupont pour femme and I cannot understand why a company would think it could sell such a thing. It is simply fragrance noise. The correspondent of overload fashion. The market is over-generous with boring (and pungent) stuff – the proof is they dare to come up with another catastrophe.
Fragrance noise — perfect description!
