An open letter to celebrity fragrances
Dear Celebrity Fragrances:
Each year when the holiday season is upon us, we are bombarded with a stunning amount of new celebrity fragrances. We have to watch commercial after commercial of you–the Britneys and Mariahs of the world–while you try to sell us another new holiday fragrance.
Well, this year I’m here to tell you:
We like the way we smell during the holidays just fine on our own. Secondly, we really don’t want to smell like you.
So, next year when you have an urge to create YET ANOTHER “signature” holiday perfume, please don’t. We’re okay without it (and those pesky commercials).
Love,
Jackie
PS: Merry Christmas!
















I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve been catching up on the Vampire Diaries where I discovered another kind of fragrance marketing gone wrong. These are for fragrances for men but since the commercials are full of naked men, I think the idea is to get teen girls to buy these for their boyfriends. But, then you see commercials with multiple females pawing one hot guy. It’s just so confusing! And wrong!
I was just thinking the same! My mom uses a fragrance from Naomi Campel and I don’t get it – why would you buy a product from a person that uses cell phones as a weapon?
