Two from the (UK) Times ~ perfume in the news

Posted by Robin on 27 July 2008 4 Comments

The bottle, modelled on an engine piston, is terrific. Pity the scent is like something you’d get spritzed with in a Dubai casino toilet.

— Columnist Giles Hattersley on Cartier's new Roadster fragrance, from A Man of Style: What to wear to court, cope with the British weather in style.

If fancy graphics and scary sound effects aren’t enough for you, enhance your gaming experience by immersing yourself in smell-o-vision or com-pooh-ter games. Picture the scene: you’re engrossed in fighting German troops in Stalingrad when you gradually notice the unmistakable whiff of gunsmoke in the air.

— According to Smell effects: gaming that gets right up your nose, they're still working out all the bugs, but smell just might be part of your computer gaming experience soon.

    And if they ever write a computer game about a romantic poet dying of consumption in a garret, Apres l'ondee would be perfect.

    Wow, smells ignited for a more realistic gaming experience. I really take my hat off to these techies…. :o)

    Hmm, if I were to go to court, I would wear Prada Infusion d'Iris — subtle but confident.
