When Perfume Bottles and Genitals Collide

Have you ever tried selling sex? It's real easy. Post an article about a porn star and watch traffic soar (bet you clicked). Sell your soiled panties on eBay, and launch a bidding war. Shape your perfume bottles like penises and vaginas and get two-bit bloggers to blog about them. Billed as a "new wave of Erotic Art in Perfumery,” "Europe's leading Crystal Artist" Emeshel is launching a premium line of men’s and women’s fragrances whose bottles are designed to mimic male and female genitalia. The five ladyflower flavors ("Nubia") evoke various fruits and spices, not to mention "oil of bergamot." The man-scent ("Rajul") is strangely coy about content, saying only the smeller is "touched by the fragrance of the wet wind and the endless water." A seminal sentiment indeed.

I bought out of curiosity the Nubia and its amazing. I love it. On the contrary I would not like to hold a penis in my hand while using my fragrance. I think you should read why she inveted it and not think always with your Rajul !

Since the goal of the sex game is to temporarily possess what the opposite sex has, shouldn’t the men’s bottle be suggestive of the woman and vice versa. As a male, I would much rather hold a bottle that reminded me of a woman than a penis. Maybe a pick your bottle approach so we don’t leave out the gay community.
