Like a pear with human legs and arms wearing the idea of perfume. Scene It Evokes: You, a pear, are wandering through a department store perfume section. Later, you have a work function.

Just then, a metal object blots out the sun. With an animal sweat. Kathleen : Kind of like maraschino cherries mixed with stables. Maggie : Like Shirley Temple going to the stables. It looks mod. Maggie : [ Sniffs. Curious Heart Maggie : I love this one! Kathleen : It smells like Herbal Essences but with more apple. Curious in Control Kathleen : This smells like maple syrup found in the back of the fridge.
It was a gross idea. Fantasy the Nice Remix Maggie: This is disgusting. In the era of online retail, consumer tastes have gravitated toward designer or cult indie brands like Le Labo and Byredo , with minimalist bottles made for Instagram. A lot of buying things these days is about broadcasting that you bought them, and celebrity scents — which have always carried with them the whiff of the uncool and overeager, and a slight touch of class anxiety given their drugstore roots — have not fared well in the attention economy.
Rihanna, for example, ditched her former fragrance and cosmetic endorsement deals to launch Fenty Beauty with the luxury conglomerate LVMH. This has allowed her to lord over her own mini-empire rather than lending her name to someone else's bottom line, but also to play along with the Instagram hype machine rather than operating independently of it, dependent on drugstore foot traffic. Anyone can wear anything! Spears has been promoting the scent with as much zeal as she has all of her past offerings, flipping her ponytail in Instagram videos in a strapless metallic minidress with the hashtag myprerogative.
The Mississippi native knew her value, and potential, from a very early age — long before there would be any money to her name. What did it say that their signature scent came in a hot pink bottle embellished with rhinestones, and that you could buy it with your tampons and gum? Over the years, Spears continued to churn out undeniably interesting offerings.
In she released Midnight Fantasy, a spinoff of her gourmand bestseller, Fantasy, which landed a coveted four-star review in the New York Times two years later.
She was, in , singing about being a side-show, about how the microscope trained on her life from the time she was a child made her feel like nothing more than a petri dish in pigtails; she was defiantly not overhoneyed, not neon dessert made flesh.
Midnight Fantasy may be her best perfume, but it hit shelves during her lowest point; nothing about the caramel-toffee aroma of the juice grafts so neatly onto her personal life.
By saying that it did, an esteemed critic was glomming onto the easy version of the Britney Spears story: She was not to be taken seriously. People look down on scents like this because they are almost too easy a win; smelling like marshmallow fluff feels like cheating, or like pandering, and always like being sixteen. We want to think of ourselves, past that age, as sophisticates, and so we train our noses to despise the doughy and delicious, even though, deep down, there is a small, un-killable part of every human that would like to live inside a Cinnabon franchise at the mall, and needs to follow every faint trail of cake batter to its physical conclusion.
