Searching for A House

We’ve been looking for a larger house for a while now so while I was walking to the park with my daughter today I was really excited to see a beautiful old house for sale. It’s only a couple blocks from our place now, well made (over 100 years old) GORGEOUS!! So, when we are [...]

To All Perfume Marketers – GET A CLUE!

Posted on01 May 2009

bigstockphoto_woman_spraying_per-featuredI am going to make this post simple and to the point.  I am calling out all perfume marketers.  I know the recession is hitting us all hard, but, let me give you a bit of advice – quit wasting your money on print ads without the scent strip in magazines!  I don’t give a damn what a bottle looks like.  I don’t care if it’s Gucci, Versace, or Dior – All I care about is if I like the smell.  Now here is where the real problem is.  I don’t shop at stores anymore.  I hate malls.  I buy everything online.  I also read every fashion magazine out there because it’s the only way I can get through my 60 minute daily treadmill torture routine.  I see all of those beuatiful perfume ads but if you don’t spend the extra money for the perfume strip, what’s the point?  I have probably bought 50 different types of perfume because I smelled it in a magazine and I just don’t understand why anyone running a marketing campaign would put a picture of a perfume bottle with NO Scent – I usually get so irritated with these guys that I subliminally hold a grudge.  I know I’m pathetic for allowing such a trivial subject to annoy me but it really gets me worked up.  I use perfume every day – I love perfume – I like trying new scents – PLEASE  if you are a marketer of perfumes don’t waste my time with a print ad unless you give me a scent with it.  What’s the point?  I have never run out to a store because I SAW a perfume I wanted – but  I will jump online in a heartbeat to buy a perfume I smelled in a magazine.

    Good post, and agreed. How are we supposed to know how a perfume smells, if all we can see is a bottle and a name? And it’s not like the names are descriptive of the scent… Victoria’s Secret just came out with a line of fragrances called Silk, Satin, Cashmere and the like. I can understand that they’re trying to evoke these feelings in scent, but I have no idea what those would smell like. Most perfumes are a complex mix of many individual scents… so it’s near impossible to describe them, you have to smell them for yourself.

    I buy stuff online too. Going to the mall is very tiring. Plus you have to walk all around. It makes me dizzy. I love perfumes too. Like you, I like it when they put some scent on their prints so that I will know if I would love it or not.
