Coming up tomorrow: the Swapmeet followup poll.
Today, a twist on our Haiku Challenge: write a haiku about a celebrity fragrance, real or imagined.
Pick a celebrity, any celebrity, write a haiku about their perfume. Use the simplified English form — your haiku should have three lines, the first line with five syllables, the second line with seven syllables and the third line with five syllables. You can put the perfume name in the title if that makes it easier, and at any rate, don’t stress over the rules of traditional haiku — this is just for fun.

Felix Baumgartner –
ideal face for out-of-this-
world extreme sport frag!
Brava, Nozknoz!
Good afternoon all! Today I’m continuing my affair with Atelier Cologne Rose Anonyme, it still give me thrills each time I wear it. I’m so glad I bought a bottle of it when it joined the offer of local niche perfumery.
I’m not really experienced with celebrity frags as vast part of them never appear in Poland but I’ll give it a try. Here I come:
Beautiful bottle
pralines fill my greedy mouth
powder of my style
Well done, Lucas! I need to try Rose Anonyme.
I may get flamed for being a hater, but here goes:
Gaga strikes me with
such mediocrity that
I am all ennui…
No “little monsters” here, I guess!
Lady Gaga, why?
You promised blood and semen
Blech! Go wear an egg
I really thought she might do something different – in spite of the price point!
J Lo Glow
smells of laundry soap
my sinuses hurt
Cate Blanchett would you
Release a good creation
I could wear often?
Grape kool-aid was all
I got from that horrible
offering from Gaga
Some bottles have been
the tackiest I have seen
some of us aren’t teens
Cate Blanchett – YES!
Oh, Katy Perry,
Purr did deliver its promise–
I’m now a teen mom.
Brad Pitt all scruffy
No favors does he for the
iconic No. 5
moonlit breeze stroking
clouds beneath glistening wings
while she is waiting
Vol de Nuit was dedicated to Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Celebuscents go way back, I guess – and they used to be WAY better!
Conjure Lucille Ball:
Red haired silk and Cuban spice–
Chocolate gobbed hilarity.
I’d buy that one!
Another buyer here!
Congratulate me
On my new-found fame. Spray it
Loud and love my name.
Excellent!
Perfect tone for the challenge and the perfume. Fantastic!
I want to smell rich
But can’t afford Shalimar.
Fancy Nights it is.
Poodle, congrats on winning the sample set of In the Garden of Good and Evil! You can definitely smell rich now!
OMG! Thanks for breaking the news to me! I did not know I won yet! Yay!
Oopsie! I’m so sorry I spoiled the surprise for you! I saw the posting on the Posse and got carried away…
Don’t be silly! It was still a surprise.

Step back, a little further.
Aaah, better. Now speak.
Inspired by my shopping trip this morning.

Liz Taylor Black Pearl
Peach and lotus, sandalwood,
Sweet bosomy stink!

Don’t mind if it stinks
She certainly strikes me as the one who would do something different!
Brad Pitt’s mumbling
Selena potpourri puke

Didn’t you just stick with the
songs and Pizza Hut?
