In the course of writing my latest blog post, I learnt that Lentheric alone had launched 135? perfumes in its history - a lot, anyway - when I thought there were only a handful!<br /><br />https://lenthericperfumes.blogspot.com/p/perfume-list.html<br /><br />My fancy was particularly caught by Rampant and Ditty Fox. Lots of adjectival scents Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-14483254461766052572019-07-04T14:50:12.850+01:002019-07-04T14:50:12.850+01:00I think I would like a bottle of Mordant, please!P...I think I would like a bottle of Mordant, please!Perfume names, they seldom seem to fit the juice these days. But then again, there's so many new releases so I guess the companies can't use as much time as before to decide on name and bottle.

I quite agree that the adjectival route is a bit too earnest and keen to make a statement - veering to Bombastic even, which we have on the list!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-75981280780991617142019-06-27T11:39:42.408+01:002019-06-27T11:39:42.408+01:00Guilty!

There...Guilty! Of course. There must be lots more. <br />There is something inherently funny about these adjective perfume names. They just sound like they are taking themselves far too seriously, as if they are taking about themselves in the third person. Fun subject.

Apparently there is a a YSL scent called 'Young Sexy Lovely' which is a three in one hit.<br /><br />We'd have to adapt Poison to Poisonous, strictly speaking - ooh, you have just made 'Miasmic' pop into my head!<br /><br />Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-14144872358614680962019-06-27T10:58:58.771+01:002019-06-27T10:58:58.771+01:00Hi Tara,

I do remember it now, though I haven't smelt it. And that has triggered a recall of Gucci Guilty. ;) I knew there were loads more.<br /><br />Ubiquitous - nice one. I did consider the word but then couldn't think of what to apply it to, so Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-65637020293354423992019-06-27T10:12:20.820+01:002019-06-27T10:12:20.820+01:00Fantastic post, V!

Just weird and indeed, unforgivable. <br />Oh how about UBIQUITOUS for a candy floss gourmand?

I wouldn't mind betting some marketing whizz kid could pick up on some of those, thinking they are the perfect "ironic" name for the latest bland juice.<br /><br />The first two real perfumes that sprang into my brain are Poison and Happy - opposites in every way?<br /><br />Jillie<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
