I’m sorry, but while that’s a neato concept and a cool video, I could never possibly spend $200 on perfume – even if I were an heiress. There’s something about it that just seems… greedy, I guess?
Hm.

Disappearing ink perfume! You can easily cook up your own batch, mixing it with your favorite scent. Or maybe not that easily. Where does one buy thymolphthalein? EDIT: Oh, right. Here you go. Also: I like this campaign. The still image is definitely creepy in that "dead model" kind of way, but I think it really works here.

I don’t know. Blue perfume: Exciting. A company called Boudicca: Enchanting. This ad? Just… yucky. I was going to buy it, now I’m definitely skipping it.

I dunno, my mind skipped right over any mermaid-consuming queen story and went right to the hentai scenario. Oh, that blurry line between advertising and pornography!

I watched the video on your blog before I read this: I thought it was something you consume and caused you to SWEAT BLUE! I was thinking that cannot be fucking healthy!

I am much more at ease now. Cool product.

Now I need to buy some. Damn!

Here is what the Wode website has to say about the fragrance itself:

“The fragrance opens with herbal spicy notes of juniper berry, cardamon, nutmeg absolute, clary sage, coriander seed and angelica root. A touch if fresh hespiridic and lighter floral notes and airiness. Through rare elements like black hemlock extract and the smell o raw opium you will enter and olfactive space where saffron, tuberose absolute, tonka bean, styrax resin, and treemoss slowly unfold round a musky leather heart.”

Sounds intriguing!

how amusing. the actual preparation and extraction of dye from woad plants is such a hellaciously stinky business that traditional woad-dying families were obliged to intermarry, in england at least, for several centuries. nobody from the outside could stand the smell of them. marketing-1, history-0, i suppose.

nice visual, though. very dame darcy.

This is why Coilhouse is my home page. There’s always something interesting popping up. I liked how they refer to the model as a mannequin. Blogalicous.

Wins on concept alone. Whatever it smells like, be damned.
