Ouch! The New York Times RIPS “Elle” by YSL

T Magazine, a blog over at New York Times has a scathing review of the perfume | Elle by YSL. The whole review is good, but here a whiff, so to speak:

Yves Saint Laurent On the Richter scale of disasters, some are more inexplicable than others. ….Yves Saint Laurent is rolling out Elle.Where to start. Why? Or perhaps better: How? What was the perfume “brief” (the concept the house gives the perfumers) here? “Please create for us the smell of the cheap, cellophane-wrapped sugar candy stacked on the linoleum floor of a 2nd Avenue Gristedes”? (My bold)

I would like to see more such blogs!

  1. Hi Bernie – So…you what you like about the blog posting is that not only did it get past the normal press release pap, it also was quite literary? Or creative? I certainly can visualize and smell the writers point!

    I’m also curious about the sneaky trackback functionality. Nonetheless, I’m always happy when my friends show up in the NYT’s! Jen
