ReplyDeleteKatie,
ReplyDeleteYou didn't elucidate on your reference to the 80s...that decade that birthed Giorgio, Poison, Ysatis and many other foghorn perfumes.
But I had forgotten that I had smelt this one a couple of months back, until I stumbled on this review.
And I had forgotten what it smelt like.
That kinda says it all,doesn't it.
Fit for radioactive decontamination, but with peach. Of course, now I ave to go smell it.
ReplyDeleteYou're onto something with the nouveax soaps, though. Soapy used to mean perfumy and was a compliment. Now it means having been made antiseptic, the skinness having been obliterated then overlayed with a thin masking fragrance. I'm with you---give me the soap that makes me think of skin.
I thought that what was insulting about using the term "soapy," is that you're paying for perfume, but you're getting something ordinary. Like going to a fancy restaurant and getting a happy meal.
ReplyDeleteHated it! Chemical brew
