Yes, you're right, it must have sounded just as shocking - let's not forget the US and Europe to a lesser extent went through a period of extreme puritanism after the war and in the 50s this was still the case! <BR/><BR/>As I have said before here Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-75285315254919944132008-11-19T14:53:00.000-08:002008-11-19T14:53:00.000-08:00I am loving CHAROGNE.

I get fruit, ginger, decaying flowers, musk and that bright plastic-y, 1960's-smelling leather. Yes, this fragrance IS a little insolent... and, indeed, if I didn't know its name I also might actually come up with an david lincolnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14260107894187441612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-82331872126375204582008-01-16T06:44:00.000-08:002008-01-16T06:44:00.000-08:00Lee, thank you for your kind words!

ELO might have been better off keeping it at that, they seem to have angered a lot of people with all the gimmicky names and descriptions :P But the scents ARE good :) I think maybe my favorite is Nombril Immense which smells very chic to me.Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-1287936524062202442008-01-16T06:40:00.000-08:002008-01-16T06:40:00.000-08:00Hey Tom!

Yes, apparently that's part of the line :P You know when I first got acquainted with it, I wanted to be more optimistic or I don't know what.. and tried to regard the names as more intellectual, with deeper meaning. But I was of course, SO wrong :P It's all about the shock value, but hell I really don't give a damn if the juice is good.

As a bonus, I found it much, much more long-lasting than most of the other CdG scents. (this is my prob with Comme des Garcons btw..I fall in love with the scents and then they last about 2 seconds..grrr! The sweet series was especially fleeting, to my chagrin...)Divinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14846908655432168778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1728936989273778688.post-9102520665921412422008-01-16T00:22:00.000-08:002008-01-16T00:22:00.000-08:00Linda - they're available at Les Senteurs.I need t...Linda - they're available at Les Senteurs.<BR/><BR/>I need to try Charogne - it sounds very tempting.

I haven't yet found them in England but expect that Harrods might stock them. Certainly your descriptions do not match with their names, but I would like to sniff!

Baudelaire's poem not withstanding..why would a perfume company want any connotation or associtation with death????????????Personally, I don't care if smells wondrous, I will pass. I dont know if that is logical, but I don't think perfume affects people logically.<BR/><BR/>D. any opinion on The Commes de Garcon Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
