Odourless, colourless, subtle! It'll make you feel like royalty.

It also comes in a bottle carved from a single giant crystal of cubic zirconia.

Smells like Nirvana. [Amos Kito, May 20 2005]

       With a very fine spray applicator.

       The sad thing is, with the right marketing, you could sell a ton of this stuff. Ooh, how I hate the cosmetics industry and perfumes in particular!

DocBrown, May 20 2005
  

       Judging by some of the perfumes out there, this is probably baked.

       I've impregnated this post with a scratch'n'sniff sample of this fragrance:



  

       Of course, it can't be smelt by the very stupid or those unfit for their post.

Detly, May 20 2005
  

       You're right, [DocBrown]. It would sell like shit at a fly fair.

UnaBubba, May 23 2005
  

       Ah, the good old days of fly fairs. You just don't seem to see as many of them these days.

Ian Tindale, May 23 2005
  

       Not as common, these days, as fly conventions.

       Step into my office, [Jinbish].

       I know people who would *still* wear too much of it.

       "Subtlety" all-natural parfum in the exclusive Discretion flacon, from Channel. Return to the scents of days gone by.

baconbrain, May 23 2005
  

       The Channel does not smell all that good.

UnaBubba, May 24 2005
  

       You've got a point there, though I've never smelt it. I was thinking something about channeling the spirits of the past, and missed that one.
There's a museum in Kansas City exhibiting the cargo of a steamboat that sank in 1856. They found a couple of perfume bottles and reconstructed the scent--that stuff is *strong*.

baconbrain, May 24 2005
  

       And the REALLY affluent can even DRINK this! Oh, imagine the decadence!

sophocles, May 24 2005
  

       Chanel number nein.   

       There's a children's book I greatly enjoyed as a young one, which features Homer Price in Centerville. A travelling salesman sells cans of EverSoMuchMoreSo, an odorless, tasteless, invisible powder that accentuates anything you sprinkle it on, and the cans never go empty.

baconbrain, May 24 2005
  

       Which is very similar to Iocaine Powder?

UnaBubba, May 24 2005
  

       "You think I stink? No. That's the subtle fragrance of my new colonge. It accentuates my natural pheronomes for a delicate balance of raw sexuality and sophisticated aroma."

       Careful with that "colonge", Eugene.
