The ABC game - the WORST names in fragrance!

Let's have some fun...

...we'll play the ABC game, but this time choose the worst name you can find for a FRAGRANCE THAT DOES EXIST!

...this link might help! http://perfumeworld.net/ehomeframe.html

I'll start with A, and then each person add a letter and a name - B, C, D, etc... Don't skip any letters and remember, it should be a real fragrance!

Later we'll play the "think of an imaginary name" game...

Have fun!

Just wake me when you get to L so I can nominate L'Eau d'Issey. Ê(Sorry, but that pretentious pun on L'Odysse just irks me to no end.) ÊAnd I'll be back at O for the onanistic One Man Show.

G:

Ga ga - Bourjois

together with:

Go Boy / Oh Boy - Cam'ron (Things to say to your dog for 200$)

Also nice:

G-Man - Gainsborough, I'm wondering how much Thierry Mugler will pay for the name in 2012 when he presents G*Men.

N = Nightflight

Does anyone remember this as this bad weekend late night music video show from basic cable in the 1980s? (That, and it's a blatant rip-off of Guerlain's Vol de Nuit.)

O = One Man Show

Most fragrances are worn when trying to instigate the affections of another. ÊWith a name like "One Man Show," I wonder what kind situations one would wear that scent in...Ê :P

OK Serpent, L'eau d'Issey may be bad but is it as bad as LIQUID KARL? ;D :P :-/

Hmm, that is pretty awful. Maybe we can bump Eau de Dragon and file L'Eau d'Issey under E as "Eau d'Issey, L'"?

Couldn't find one starting with U so I jump to V and Very Sexy (For Her and For Him) which could be the most pathetic name EVER. :-[ :-[ :-[

Z goes to Zizanie

I just bought it, I like it, but the name's just dumb. ÊNot only does it sound dumb, but it translates to something akin to "ill feeling." ÊYeah. ÊBad name.

Well - looks like we are at the end of the alphabet, thanks for playing!

Any votes on the all-time worst name?

I thought the new release "Gas" was pretty funny, and I still feel "Liquid Karl" is just terrible.

I've never liked the name for Alpona. Great scent but terrible name - it always makes me think of dog food.
