thanks for stopping by and commenting. ...Konglish,<br /><br />thanks for stopping by and commenting. <br />You expressed what has been lurking in my mind most admirably and eloquently! Yup, can't see how the SP would tolerate such a bourgeois activity such as producing/marketing/wearing perfume (as explained upthread in my comment). Then again, who is owning the SP brand nowadays? Virgin? Lydon? The heirs of McLaren?Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-15171329762337325772010-07-09T09:51:21.541+01:002010-07-09T09:51:21.541+01:00K,

Perfume being a product/ artwork that has the immediate effect of making one more presentable/agreeable to others and to himself and punk being at the edge of making everything and everyone unpresentable, destroying rather than mollifying. Unless they come up with another Secretions Magnifiques, which is Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-24577414388026845012010-07-09T09:48:42.616+01:002010-07-09T09:48:42.616+01:00P,

...P,<br /><br />I would tend to agree with you on the notes! <br /><br />In many ways the antithesis of punk. But they're just so quirky at ELDO that it might actually be interesting. I suppose Rotten would have replied "bollocks" if asked, LOL!

If this scent had been released in their heyday I imagine the band would have attended the launch event purely to smash up all the bottles, run amok amongst all the shocked genteel beauty journalists and then urinate on the tester strips Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-39126355196299238472010-07-08T13:12:01.491+01:002010-07-08T13:12:01.491+01:00I think Etat seem very arty- with Tilda connection...I think Etat seem very arty- with Tilda connection and all- so they probably really are trying to do punk perfume- I'd be interested to try it- in the day I should think the Pistols smelt of tabacco and being unwashed but I wonder what they will come up with.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-29683685279585924152010-07-08T12:41:47.081+01:002010-07-08T12:41:47.081+01:00It's tempting to think of the Pistols as the M...It's tempting to think of the Pistols as the Monkees of Punk, but PiL -- now there was a great band. <br /><br />From what I remember of the British punk scene (which is not much) the only possible authentic note(s) would be beer (top) and vomit (bottom).<br /><br />It will be interesting to see what ELDO comes up with (no pun intended).Olfactahttp://olfactarama.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-30418287676157702622010-07-08T10:13:32.459+01:002010-07-08T10:13:32.459+01:00Hello dearest M!

How's the family and the dogs? :-)<br /><br />The SP, oh they did have had their day, it all seems like coat-taling (is this the expression?) on a cultural legend, which of course is nothing new. <br />I guess the selling part will depend on the smell itself, since it's a niche release.
