Tens of thousands of water guns
The [water] guns were tied by the dozens to park fences and hung from trees. They could even be found tied to the brakes of bicycles.
Each gun had attached to it a short note to which had been applied a sample of the perfume. The perfume, of course, had dried, but the card claimed the perfume could be revived simply by sprinkling a drop of water where the fragrance had been applied.
— An Israeli ad agency used water guns to promote the Replay fragrance. Read more at Squirt and sniff: One way to sell a perfume at Media Life.
Estee Lauder Sensuous Noir ~ perfume review
Sensuous Noir is one of two flankers from Estée Lauder this summer, the other being the Pleasures Bloom that Angie reviewed yesterday. I have always had a soft spot for Pleasures: whenever I smell it I am brought up short again by how great it smells, and it’s so much better done than the many other squeaky-clean florals of its ilk. Still, I have absolutely no desire to own or wear it. Sensuous is another matter. I would not argue with anybody who said Pleasures was the better fragrance of the two, but Sensuous was the one I bought. The pale honeyed amber works perfectly as a casual, not-quite-oriental (and not particularly sensuous) fragrance and wears well in almost any weather; it is one of my (many!) “what to wear when you don’t want to think about what to wear” scents.
Sensuous Noir, I take it, is supposed to be the sexy, evening-wear version of Sensuous. Estée Lauder is calling it a woody chypre…
