Very entertaining. I've noticed that the gloves are off when you comment on Chandler Burr and Luca Turin.
On another note - I wondered what your thoughts are about the huge success of Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds? Is it just a marketing triumph. And what does its popularity say about the fragrance market in general? I would be interested to hear your opinion.
I never read Burr's reviews anymore, but I never miss the Burrometer--I think this may mean I'm jaded.
I may not know what the hell Burr's talking about when he starts in on toothpaste and fur, but he performs such enthusiastic verbal somersaults that I have to give him at least grudging credit.
And he praised CC#1, which I like and which Turin panned, so . . . nuts to Turin and a gold star for Burr this time around.
The Asian bonus points cracked me up -- I want Asian bonus points!
Wow, that really cracks me up, I will be back to visit often!
RE: SignatureScent's question - the very same one has mystified me since the moment that godawful thing was unleashed upon an unsuspecting public. Who on Earth wants to smell like that?! And how has it managed to endure for so long when true masterpieces keep getting discontinued despite customers' protests?
