Gay Diversion.

Madison Avenue was really confused by Women's Liberation and what to do about it.

This was not the right way (and it was abandoned quickly).

What to wear to appeal to Austin Powers: Oh! de London

Gay Diversion sounds like a Pansy Division cover band

Oh! de London is a cult scent now because the vintages are so hard to find.

Yeah, I'd snifff him.

Why was there never a fragrance called CHERYL?

Forever Krystal and Carrington.

And I swear Charlie at one point came in a frosted bottle with a dabber.

Are you wild enough to wear it?

I'm still looking for this guy..lol. I used to have a t-shirt with this pic on it (it was a great scent, too)

R66 Perhaps you're thinking of Charlie (Red) and Charlie (White)? Those were in marketed in frosted bottles.

The Sophisti-cat! What memories--Iwhen I was a kid I bought it for my mother for Mothers' Day from the corner drugstore ... Also bought her another one the next year too. Then she told me she'd had sufficient...!

I think I remember they had rhinestone eyes that matched the feather and there were different colors, because choosing the color was such a tough decision.

Oddly enough, r54, in the late '70s I went to college with a girl who tried using it for that purpose. The top came off inside of her.

r67 My mother used to wear Tigress back in the '60s. I still remember the bottles that had a faux tiger fur strip around the cap.

I have this framed and hanging in my bathroom...

It is indeed a chypre; but it is feminine, not unisex.

No fragrance called "Miss Dior" would ever be unisex, no matter how much you're trying rationalize it to yourself.

Miss Dior is definitely unisex smelling now. It's 2021. We're talking original not 2012 relaunch. It's unisex just like Chanel No. 19 is.

Empreinte is another good unisex now.

Dior Dolce Vita

This one is for you, R134.

Jane Seymour for Max Factor

Sean Young for Nuance

Here's a REALLY old one

r129, I'm actually just teasing. No less an authority on fragrance than Luca Turin says that the great old Dior feminine chypres (Diorama, Miss Dior, Diorella, Dioressence) can indeed now be worn by men as well as women.

HOWEVER...

...I don't know that I fully trust him, since Turin wears Mitsouko (one of the greatest of all feminine chypres) and insists men can wear it, and yet it still smells to me completely girleen, as if the person sprayed with it were drowning in peach and heavily indolic jasmine. Yes, I know Charlie Chaplin used to wear it: even so, I am not entirely sure some fragrances can truly be carried off by men despite what Luca Turin says, unless they are so confident in their gender identity they mind smelling like a dainty nosegay.

Even if I COULD carry off Miss Dior or Diorella, I don't think I'm so confident in my masculinity that I at least would tell anyone what the name of my chypre was (I would say a total lie to make it sound more masculine, like, "Oh, this is something called Delusional by Kanye West. It's been discontinued"). But if you feel that confident, more power to you.

Listen, on an eldergay any classic can go girleen, however youngish frag bros wear amazingly girleen modern juice nowadays, so it has all evened out.

Lois Chiles for Scoundrel

𝘐𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘣𝘭𝘦

Current Mitsouko EDT is acceptable from an hour in. It wouldn't horrify a bro who wears Le Male or the current Dior Homme. The first hour is too much. Did you see Turin's fragrance chemistry series - it's on youtube.

Chanel No. 5

I remember the fuzzy cat cologne very well. My father would take my sister and I when we were very , very young to the drug store to pick out a gift for my mother's birthday. In all of our five and seven year old wisdom, my sister and I decided that Mom liked pretty things AND cologne, so she would just LOVE this fuzzy cat cologne. Poor Mom was a Chanel No. 5 woman, but she wore that cologne for a few days, and the fuzzy black cat sat on her dresser for years.

Who membas 1988 when Cher went to her "Uninhibited" perfume launch in Bob Mackie, wearing the top of the perfume bottle on her head?

Not very glamorous for Chanel.

Broadway don't go for booze, or dope, but it does Helenesque. Available at Saks, Gimbel's and Manny's Bodega.

Who wouldn't adore an Evening in Paris gift set?

I don’t think this ad caused a (deserved) upset when it ran... but now it makes everyone shudder.

One of my cousins married a woman who named their kid after the perfume Ciara, which was pronounced See-AR-ah. A few years later Irish names became popular in the US, including Irish names spelled the Irish way

In Ireland, Ciara is pronounced “KEER-ah.” So this baby grew up and now she always has to correct everyone calling her KEER-ah. “No, it’s SEE-ah-rah”

I have a memory of that perfume cat. We were too poor to afford perfume so someone must have given the cat to my mother for me to play with. I remember petting it and being disappointed it wasn’t soft. It was made out of cardboard.

Nope.

That is her. The eye makeup makes them look a little different, but the bone structure is the same.

R200 Would you at least explain the grammatical error? Not everyone is on a level playing field in terms of education, ya hussy.

r253, I'm not r200, but it's a problem with nominative vs. objective. My father took my sister and ME. The easiest way to check to see if you're using the correct case is to replace the objects with WE or US. "My father took US" means you have to use ME. (Me=Us; I=We.)

Those 80s Gruau ads for Christan Dior are very cool. They're like 60s ads, except with hints of nudity

The blonde in the Heaven Sent ad is Carol Eastman, photographed by Marie Cosindas, commissioned by Helena Rubinstein, Inc. 1968.

^^ Your lies are unforgivable.

[italic]How do you live with your LIES ? ?

The model Carole Eastman later wrote the screenplays for “Five Easy Pieces,” “The Fortune,” and Our Faye’s curious “Puzzle of a Downfall Child”.

No, Carol Eastman (the model at r256) and Carole Eastman the screenwriter are two different people

Thanks for the clarification, I just knew that wasn't Cybill Shepard. Someone should inform the eBay Seller that the model isn't Cybill.

Info about Carole the screenwriter, I'm more confused after reading this. She used the used the pseudonyms "Adrien Joyce" and "A.L. Appling". She died in 2004 at age 69.

I don't think the screenwriter is the same Carole Eastman as the model, The Helena Rubenstein ad was from 1968. If Carole the model was born in 1934, that would have made her 34 in that photo!

There is no way that woman in the ad is 34, models were always very young, she looks late teens or early 20s.

This cannot be the same woman, Carole Eastman, from the Heaven Scent ad. This photo of 'Carol' is from 1961, from an episode of The Untouchables, she looks older here than she did in the Heaven Scent ad from 1968!

In “Rosemary’s Baby” the title character wears Detchema. But a poster created a new scent for her at the base notes site. I thought that was funny.

———-

[bold]Cinema Series, Rosemary's Baby[/bold]

[italic]When Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse move into the fashionably Gothic Bramford Building near Central Park in New York City, little do they know that their neighbors, the Castavets, are devil‐worshipers intent on finding an unwitting surrogate for Satan’s next spawn. It appears they may have bribed Guy into handing over his wife in exchange for a successful acting career, but with Rosemary, more covert trickery is necessary. She’s given an amulet necklace filled with a mysterious, strange‐smelling herb (“tannis root”) and told her it’s for good luck. But it’s all downhill for Rosemary once she succumbs to the scent she initially describes as smelling like Revillon’s Detchema, the soapy aldehydic floral from 1953.

Tannis, the perfume inspired by Rosemary’s Baby, answers the perverse question, what perfume would the devil find appealing? And how could an ordinary mortal be tricked, olfactively, into wearing it? Many perfumes have wicked connotations and names, but Tannis has a true audience of one: Satan.

Possible notes: Aldehydes, black currant, raspberry, bergamot, orris, rose, saffron, truffle, patchouli, castoreum, civet, musk, guaiac wood, benzoin

Tannis starts off on a walk in the woods, like many fairy tales. It opens up with sparkling aldehydes and juicy berries, and then transitions into the cold dustiness of orris root, the scent bridge that moves the perfume from the world of mere mortals to realm of the underworld, signified by saffron, truffle, guaiac wood, benzoin and big dose of civet.

Perfumes that inspire Tannis: Vintage Magie Noire, Tom Ford Black Orchid, Le Labo Oud.

One of the things about old fragrances: I was very impressed on "Mad Men" that the show's costumers and writers worked out fragrances for all the characters to wear. I don;t remember all of them, but these I remember:

Joan: Shalimar (considered sexy but respectable and elegant)

Betty: Muguet des Bois (which is all lilies-of-the-valley) during the day, Arpege (beautiful but respectable) for special evenings out

Peggy: Nothing at first, but eventually she moves to Chanel #5 when she becomes more proactive sexually

Don: Pour un Homme by Caron (it would have been old-fashioned in the 60s--Don never wants to call too much attention to his assumed identity--, but it's very sexy and calming)
