Lazy weekend poll ~ skank, episode 2
By request, a repeat of a poll we did in 2010. The subject: skanky perfumes. From A Perfumista lexicon:
Skanky: a fragrance with animalic or other “sexy” notes. Skanky has pejorative connotations in “regular” slang, but among many perfumistas, it is meant as a compliment. The use of the term to apply to perfume was popularized by March at Perfume Posse.
We’ll have a skanky Friday project coming up soon, so consider this some advance planning. Tell us…
1. What’s your favorite skanky perfume?
2. What perfume do you think would be a perfect “introduction to skank”?
3. Are there any perfumes that are just too skanky for you to wear?
Or, anything else you’d like to tell us on the subject of skank in perfume. Or, as always, just talk about something else…
