Have you ever wanted to smell like three week old BO, vomit, a broken bass guitar (covered in piss), heroin, stale blood and brill creme? Well you can’t. And that’s because none of those things are in the new” Sex Pistols” perfume just launched by French beauty house Elat Libre D’Orange last month. Who knew black pepper was “defiant” or that prunes were “turbulent”. Well, Johnny Lydon probably knows a few things about prunes but, that’s another matter. All aging-punk-rock-idol-laxative-jokes aside, here’s what a “Sex Pistols” actually smells according to the French POV:
Fresh, restless bite of lemon, sharpened and intensified by defiant black pepper. It’s the unruly turbulence of a prune and an in-your-face ambrette. Electrified by aldehydes, you can feel the pure energy pared down and pumped up by leather, shot through with heliotrope and brought back down to earth by a raunchy patchouli.
I can’t argue with the fact that patchouli actually is pretty raunchy smelling so, I’m sure Sex Pistols is going to be a nose-smashing success. So far, it’s only available atSephora locations with a Euro postal code. Which is far enough away for me.
Photographer Richard Burbridge and stylist Robbie Spencer created a photo spread entitled “War Heros” for web-based zine, Dazed Digital. Good news guys, baby arms are back in! Baby arms!
Male model sulking down the catwalk for designer Walter Van Beirendonck “Read My Skin” show at Paris Fashion Week
Here’s a look at what no man in his right mind, not even the sparkly ones designer Walter Van Beirendonck(creator of the “Man Shirt” seen here on Cherrybombed.com) thinks the well dressed man will be wearing next summer. And while the words “skirts are in this year” might be terrifying enough for most men, it could be worse. There’s also the frightening potential that the “Smells Like Jesus Spirit” craze that dominated the Men’s 2011 Spring/Summer looks this past week in Paris could catch on.
I suppose the “hat” that Pammy is wearing on top of her head in this photo might be a slight improvement from this. Might being the operative word here…
