Name That Scent

This may sound silly to the rest of you.
But to me, this is very annoying.

You see, I started using a new deodorant the other day. The scent was called "Sexy Intrigue." How stupid is that? What could possibly be sexy or intriguing about deodorant? There was another one that was called "Mysteriously Romantic." WTF? Again these are deodorants. There is nothing mysterious or romantic about them. Their purpose is to keep me from sweating and smelling gross. That is NOT sexy. Period.

Who picks the names for the various scents us women can choose from? Are these names suppose to make us more likely to buy the product? I used to have a perfume called, "Twilight Woods." Were the advertising people just cashing in on the word twilight and hoping girls wouldn't realize it had nothing to do with the terrible books and movies? My current perfume and lotion of choice is "P.S. I Love You." Again, nothing to do with the movie. I guess if your boyfriend ever smelled it, he would think, "P.S. I Love You." I don't know if I buy that but whatever. There's also some that actually attempt to give you a hint as to what it might smell like. Like "Blushing Cherry Blossom," "Winter Candy Apple," & "Festive Vanilla Fig." I guess they have to add another random word in there.

Those are all from Bath & Body Works. Victoria's Secret likes to delve more into the obscure/innuendo type of names. My favorite scents are "Love Spell" and "Pure Seduction." So when guys smell me, they're suppose to fall under my love spell or be purely seduced. Trust me. It's false advertising.

In the course of writing this, I found out that I have an endless amount of bottles of lotions, body wash, body butter, hand creams, perfumes, body splash, etc. Do I really need this many options when it comes to what I smell like? And what happens if I use a different one for washing my body, putting lotion on, hand cream, and perfume? Would the combine to form an ultra-super scent that no human male can resist??? No, probably not. It'll just smell confusing.

Love you.
Mean it.
