I believe they were 100% correct to present it thus, because they wanted to capture a young demographic with a sense of "fun" and 'to heck with good taste" attitude (hence Kristen Stewart as front girl as well).Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-17873583557442052402012-12-07T14:38:00.901+00:002012-12-07T14:38:00.901+00:00So interesting!

I admit I took one look at the Florabotanica bottle and more or less automatically knew it wasn't 'for me' ... whereas the clever twisting mechanism was part of what drew me to Kelly Caleche in the first place. (Oh advertizing and image! they really do have impact!)<br />I remain in complete agreement with you on Kelly Caleche. I enjoy wearing it as a work fragrance, Proximityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673050454435116732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-30996927488845159602012-11-29T13:01:44.569+00:002012-11-29T13:01:44.569+00:00M,

It does turn on some people, from my experience. <br />I would say that KC is rather more refined than FB (although FB is a solidly constructed frag too), while still not being JCE's most significant work. It'd just make more sense if they copied his very best.

Not interesting-sour, just grumpy-sour. This is probably just me; on the whole, I thought, KC is a well constructed bit of work and I can understand people liking it. Would you say that technically, at least, KC is still superior to Florabotanca (which I have not had a chance to smell)?

That plant like thing can only be a good thing after so much fake sweets in the air in the previous decade. <br /><br />Zero Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-18610675574099413522012-11-28T14:50:27.572+00:002012-11-28T14:50:27.572+00:00You are so right, I spritzed it on paper a month a...You are so right, I spritzed it on paper a month ago, trying to figure out what I was smelling. Obviously this is has devil plant qualities to it but I kept on thinking I have smelled something like this, not my cup of tea to wear but I thought it would smell good on others.
