Designer Fragrances Used at the Zoo?

This is one of the funniest stories I’ve seen in a while!

Have you ever gone to the zoo and stood behind a fence waiting to see a Jaguar or a Lion, only to be disappointed that they never show up?  Well, we’ve got a solution for you.

Pat Thomas, curator at the Brooklyn Zoo, has been doing research using designer fragrances on Big Cats’ (Jaguars, Lions, etc) surroundings to see which scents they are attracted to.  The unanimous favorite?  Calvin Klein Obsession For Men, which had Jaguars lingering for over 11 minutes!  Second place was only a few seconds.

See for yourself!

Hard Candy Eau De Parfum Spray 1.7 oz:

In Fall 2007 the cosmetics company Hard Candy launched its first fragrance. This scent, which is called Hard Candy Fragrance was created for the hardcore Hard Candy client: a sweet, sexy and playful young woman.Hard Candy

The fragrance is made from white tea, pink peppercorn, rose, jasmine, caramel, vanilla and cashmere musk. It’s fun, it’s spicy, it’s floral… it’s hot.

Grown-up packaging of perfume is very impressive. The black flowers berries and branches on the bottle strike me as very sophisticated for this brand. If not for the bright pink or green jewel-cut caps (which glow when the light hits), one would have thought this was a scent for thirty-somethings! Also, it comes packaged in a very pretty foil origami box featuring artwork from the bottle.

Introducing Tom Ford’s masterful rendition of the cool and intriguing possibilities of vetiver—the hallmark of a classic, sophisticated, unabashedly masculine man.

The scent revolves around ultra-pure essence of vetiver, obtained by a revolutionary extraction technique.

The iconic vetiver note achieves its full potential within a construction of enhancing elements. On top, orange flower, grapefruit, and aromatic sage lend freshness. Warm woods wrap and balance the top layer as enlivening middle notes composed of orris, nutmeg, and pimiento impart a clean, grounded energy. A wash of golden amber woods leads into a fascinating, rich drydown. Oakmoss contributes a green and woodsy impression and completes the refined harmony that floats coolly onto the skin, simultaneously melting into the body’s natural heat.

The frosted bottle includes a silver-toned cap and neck ring, and a palladium plaque bearing the Tom Ford logo. The fluted carton’s silver accents and borders hint at the character of the precious, pale juice within.
