Tommy Hilfiger will launch Tommy 10 and Tommy Girl 10 in September. The scents are updated variations of the original Tommy and Tommy Girl fragrances:
Tommy Girl 10 has top notes of tart Nantucket cranberry, luscious Marion pear, sweet Pixie tangerine and Indian River grapefruit; a heart of Mississippi magnolia, California honeysuckle and Virginia water lily, and a drydown of Vermont cream, butterscotch and Rocky Mountain birch.
Tommy 10, for men, opens with notes of Seattle rain, Hawaiian pineapple, Fresh Kentucky bluegrass and tart Cape Cod cranberry; has a heart of wet violet, Rocky Mountain blue spruce and Arizona saguaro cactus flower, and has a drydown of Long Island driftwood, Vermont red maple wood and Wyoming cottonwood...

I dare you to tell the difference between Seattle rain and rain ANYWHERE else…come on…

I don't know about the rain in Seattle, but there is a huge difference in the smell between the rain in Israel and the rain in Vancouver. It simply falls on a different soil and triggers completely different olfactory reaction from the surfaces it washes…
Interesting notes actually. I'm quite curious to what they're like.
LOL! I think they are trying to do an “American journey” theme or something of the like.
I suppose that is true, A, although I'd guess these place names were applied by marketing people after the fact 🙂
The women's sounds too sweet for me, but will certainly give them both a try.
This is, of course, only my opinion, but this guy is a hack.

Seattle rain. Oh dear lord. As a Seattleite who's smelled plenty of rain in other locales, I'm voting with the idea that marketing inserted geography after the fact. xoxo
Wow, that almost reads like a geography lesson. I want to make the anti-10 fragrance: notes of radical Oregon hippie armpit, Los Angeles smog, Alabama swamp gas, and the refreshing aroma of Free Ice Water from Wall Drug, SD. (Ugh, I suck.)
I'm very out of it, fashion-wise…don't know a darn thing about him!
They really should hire us, M. We'd do a better job of marketing 🙂
LOL…unconventional but unwearable, it is sure to appeal to some niche segment or another 🙂
Seattle rain. As a former Seattle-ite, that totally cracks me up. Perhaps Seattle rain = smell of money since the world's richest man, i.e. Bill Gates, lives in the area.
LOL — Bill Gates should do a fragrance, all proceeds to go to his charity foundation.
