Oops, I Smell
Britney Spears Perfume… Again
If you just can’t get enough
Britney, here she is again. Like a bad penny, she keeps turning up
in the media, on talk shows, videos and radio. She’s even had
cameos in movies (such as Austin Powers: Goldmember). And
now even your nose can’t get away from her – there are three Britney
Spears perfumes currently wafting in a breeze near you.
Ok, So I’m Not A
Britney Spears Fan…
Britney Spears perfumes come
in three varieties: Curious (released 2004), Fantasy (released 2005)
and In Control, the newest to the stable. Britney Spears perfumes
are found in department stores and online specialty perfume stores
and online department stores. You can usually find the best deals
on the web – the only drawback is, of course, that you can’t try
before you buy. My advice: try a tester in a store first. If you’re
going to buy online, check to see what the vendor’s return policy is
before purchasing.
Britney Spears perfumes are
made by Elizabeth Arden with complete cooperation of Britney
herself. In other words, Britney does know these are being sold in
her name and is most likely getting a big slice of the perfume pie.
Britney Spears is just one in a long line of celebrities diving into
the world of perfumes, swimming in the same pool as Elizabeth
Taylor, Prince and fellow blonde Paris Hilton.
Curious
The oldest of the Britney
Spears perfume line up is Curious, a typical perfume for the
non-typical female. It is packaged in a classic blue or pink
perfume bottle in sort of squashed diamond shape. It is recommended
for special occasions or for trying to get a good estimate on your
car repair down at Hank’s Garage. It is considered a youthful, fun,
flowery, yet sexy, fragrance.
Fantasy
The middle child of the
Britney Spears perfume family has an incredible marketing campaign.
Going to the official website, there is gorgeous computer animation
with lush, sensual colors and sparkles. It is amazing what this
country spends on frivolities such as perfume. And even more
amazing – someone got paid for thinking this campaign up! Perhaps
making perfume look like Love Potion No.9 was someone’s Fantasy at
Elizabeth Arden.
In Control
The youngest child of the
Britney Spears perfume family (baby Spears, if you will) smells
perhaps more like Britney Spears recent image as temptress and
siren. Its base is white vanilla, but then includes a blend of
crème brulee (I kid you not), loquat fruit, midnight orchid, sugared
sandalwood and musk. Elizabeth Arden does not test on animals…just
customers.
