Marilyn Red (2001)
by Andy Warhol

I, too, got this one because of the bottle. It cost next to nothing.
It's not bad, not at all. It's a flowery generic one with a loud note of blackcurrant in the opening - then it settles down into a perfect non-offensive every day scent.

I got this and the other two Marilyns (Pink and Blue) from an Amazon trader for about £3 each. I bought them for the cute bottles. I didn't really care about the juice, though I asumed it would be generic.

Listed notes are: blackcurrent, jasmine and sandalwood.

When I sprayed Red, my first thought was 'Le Jardin de Max Factor'! And indeed, it was close. But it warmed up rapidly, and became a lot less shrill than Le Jardin. It's a pleasant, not-too-fruity jasmine, nothing special. Wearable as an everyday scent for a teenager, perhaps, but it's too boring and generic for me.
