Fumes in the News: The Scent of Snooki

Whaddaya want, a smush or somethin'?




The clip may be from Funny or Die, but the Snooki perfume is terrifyingly real. (Remember to refer to it by its full handle, "Snooki by Nicole Polizzi," or Snooki may smush you.) The Jersey Shore star told Elle.com
"My perfume doesn’t discriminate. I pretty much designed it for the whole female race. I mean, who wouldn’t want to smell fruity and sexy but flirty at the same time? It’s a young, clean scent."
Listed notes include "chilled lychee, quince flower, kiwi, pink cupcake accord, white jasmine, beach flower, seaside driftwood and sugared musk."

I'm getting "young" and "fruity" out of that, but I don't know about "sexy" or "clean." I may have to resign from the female race.

Available November 25th from Perfumania.com at $45 for 3.3 oz

  1. Could we maybe install some extra female races? I don't think I fit the Snooki mold either.

  2. No need to resign. She also designed her own female race.

  4. Phew, m61 - that explains everything!


    Bloody F - I was struck by her comic timing, too. If forced to have a girls' lunch with a "why her?" reality star, you could do worse than Snooki, I suppose. As long as she's not wearing Snooki by Nicole Polizzi.

  5. There's genius in the note description "pink cupcake accord". Pretty much sums up the genre for posterity (though I hope posterity will have forgotten pink cupcakes too).

  6. cacio, I do enjoy the specificity of "pink cupcake accord." Not blue cupcake, not yellow cupcake, but pink cupcake, dammit!

  7. I don't want to wear this but I don't hate her or anything...I respect her for adding the clarifier "it's a real product" at the end to avoid confusion.

  8. Dear The Whole Female Race:

    Can you maybe have a Whole Female Race Girl's Night Out with Snooki? Maybe take her aside and clue her on what is actually going on?

    I mean, I know some of you are busy, and maybe you might have to share a car, but if you can make time for this I'd appreciate it.

    Sincerely,
    Stefush

    p.s. If anyone can help me scour the floor for the remnants of my mind, I'd be right grateful.

  9. Fleurine--

    I don't hate Snooki, either, but I do hate being told by the entertainment industry that I have to care about who she is and what she's doing.

  10. It's more than the entertainment industry, Nora, it's also peer pressure. The looks of aghast incredulity on my friends faces when I tell them I don't watch Regis & Kelly or American Idol. (So You Think You Can Dance and The Rachel Zoe Project are my fun shows. There's only so much cheese I can cram into my culture diet.)

  11. I live in New York City so aside from a bit of stray Kardashian fallout, I am pretty sheltered from reality cheese. But I hear you.

  12. Haha, Fleurine, "stray Kardashian fallout." The reality version of space junk.

  13. I thought they neutered stray Kardashians?

  14. That's only if they're lucky enough to be taken to a no-kill shelter.

  15. I gotta say, sugared musk sounds like just the thing to get my day going. It's got calories, it's got heft, it'll fill you up for hours and keep you regular. And I like that it comes with CHILLED lychee, not the god-awful room temperature kind. White jasmine is also far preferable to the black stuff, which can turn bitter if overcooked. Such a thoughtful chef, our Snooki. I'll be lining up for her brunch service ASAP.

  16. Snooki needs to hire you for her butler, Darryl.

  17. Silly me, there I thought female was a sex, not a race. Then, what do I know?

  18. No Joseph, it's been downgraded to a race. Snooki has spoken.
