The smell of withered roses on her breath

Posted by Robin on 4 March 2009 16 Comments

When director Zack Snyder was working on the Watchmen movie (which opens this Friday), he decided to hold a contest. Contestants would create product advertisements for Veidt Enterprises (and what that is, exactly, I don't know — maybe there's a Watchmen fan who can comment?), and the winning entries would be seen playing on TVs on the film sets. Among the products was a fictional fragrance called Nostalgia. Here is one of the winning entries. (by hypnosavant, with thanks to Jessica for the link!)

I always hate going in there

SpongeBob & Patrick try to escape from somewhere (my son has left for school already so I can't ask him where they're being held captive) using the only available exit: through the perfume department.

Twilight ~ new perfume

Posted by Robin on 28 December 2008 50 Comments

Twilight is a new perfume launching in conjunction with the new movie of the same name, which was in turn adapted from the popular novel by Stephenie Meyer.

The forbidden fruit tastes the sweetest! So take a bite of this apple-shaped bottle. It contains a delicious lavender and freesia scented perfume.

Twilight is available in 80 ml "Scented Perfume Spray", $48, and can be purchased at Hot Topic, one bottle per customer. It can also be found at selected Borders stores. Many thanks to Charlene for the tip!

Extra bonus questions…

Lazy Friday poll ~ shaken, not stirred

James Bond movie posters: Connery, Craig, Brosnan

I am not generally a huge fan of action movies, but I've always loved James Bond. Today's challenge: name your favorite James Bond actor (the choices, for anyone who can't remember the entire line-up: Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan and Daniel Craig) and what fragrance you think their version of Bond would wear.

My Bond of choice is Roger Moore. I know you're supposed to prefer Sean Connery, but as I've said before, Moore is the Bond I “grew up with”. Daniel Craig, however, might be giving Moore a run for his money. I'm really looking forward to Quantum of Solace…
