Oh, these names!
But some of them do look intriguing at least.
I am torn — “Naughty Patchouli”, no, and “Fly Me To The Rose”, no, but I rather like the idea of “Keep Your Musk” and “War of the Roses”.
What, only 51 new fragrances? Amateurs!
Dusan for the win!
“Gone With The Smell”? Thrush? In my world, thrush is a fungal infection of a horse’s hoof and it smells awful.
I’m intrigued, but not enough to try and sniff my way through 51 fragrances or even 15 for that matter.
Some of the best/worst names ever!
A little OPI, a little ninth race at Pimlico.
I can read about perfume for hours and hours, but this is the first time I feel: STOP, I can’t handle it!
Well, I am going to wander *completely* off topic and mention My Fragrance Kitchen. I bought some truffle salt yesterday, and it smells up my kitchen, in only a good way of course. Ridiculously expensive, but worth it.
I’ve recieved from a Kuwaiti friend 3 fragrances from TFK when he came to London. Indeed the names are different, bottle design is beautiful and follow by a quotation at the back of the bottle. I got “Son Of A Rose” that is amazing, the spicy really got me here. “Naughty Patchouli” it is more feminine type, gave to my sister and she just loved and “War Of The Roses”, when I whore this one, people stoped me asking “what are you wearing?”
Eastern scents are growing in the market, and my opinion, TFK is coming to be huge im the Fragrances Market.
By the way, Majed Al-Sabah was the creator of “Arabian Wood” Tom Ford Private Collection that is one of Tom Ford Best Sellers.
