Real Vampires Don’t Sparkle
I’m a little disturbed by a new product I stumbled on this morning at work. It’s a new perfume by Parfums de Coeur as part of their Body Fantasies collection. It’s name?
Vampire.
That’s right. It’s a perfume modeled after the supposed scent of a vampire or, as the site so eloquently phrases it, the scent of a “sultry musk reminiscent of a soft breath on her warm skin.” Whose warm skin? Surely not any of the vampires involved in this marketing hell. And what exactly does this “new expression of female sensuality” smell like? Garlic wards vampires off; does the perfume evoke the scent of last night’s chicken marsala recipe?
Apparently, the scent is meant to entice with luscious fragrances of chocolate cosmos and violet. Ah, the dangerous, forbidden , addictive loveliness of Vampire perfume!
I’m definitely a fan of profiting on products while the industry is still at an all time high. However, I’m definitely over the vampire infatuation. The madness needs to end eventually.
What’s next? A love deprived, jaded vampire teen idol that sparkles in the sunlight? Oh wait….
Of course, without trying the actual product, I have no way of knowing if the scent is actually as satisfying as the website promises. I love the scents of violet and chocolate and, perhaps if it wasn’t labeled Vampire, I might have actually purchased a bottle to give it a try.
What do you think of Vampire Body Fantasies Perfume?
