Oh wow, never noticed that, I'll have to check it again sometime.
Maybe they needed a "prop" bottle with a removable atomizer so Michael Scott could dab it on, so someone suggested Mugler Cologne.
This past week I was watching NCIS reruns (now syndicated on the USA Network), and one of the characters was talking about the perfume in the air,
Quote:
Ziva: Haviar Christian Number Five. It’s a perfume. Big in France.
TONY: Maybe that’s what I’ll get Monica for her birthday.
ZIVA: It’s two thousand dollars an ounce, Tony.
GIBBS: Sounds steep.
TONY: Yeah, she’s not really a perfume kind of gal.
I couldn't find anything about it in the Basenotes directory (first thing I checked!), so I'm not sure if it is real or not.
I did find quotes from an even older episode of NCIS:
Quote:
Abby Sciuto: Perfume is expensive, Gibbs. I can't just hang out at the Macy's tester tray with my lab kit. They frown on that sort of behavior.
Gibbs: Buy what you need to, Abby, we'll deal with it later.
Abby Sciuto: Bold, Gibbs. Bold.
Quote:
Abby Sciuto: Perfume is the most powerful accessory a woman can wear.
Gibbs: Yeah, well, how much did all this power cost us?
Abby Sciuto: Around fifteen hundred.
Gibbs: Fifteen hundred dollars?
Abby Sciuto: Well, not including the tax. I stuck to the thirty most popular scents hoping we'd get lucky.
Gibbs: Ah, how fiscally responsible, Ab.
Quote:
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: I don't see Chanel No. 5.
Abby Sciuto: Does anyone wear that anymore?
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: My mother does.
Abby Sciuto: Really.
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Ever since Marilyn Monroe confessed that Chanel No. 5 was all she wore to bed.
Abby Sciuto: So... does your mother...
Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard: Unfortunately, yes. Makes for terribly awkward slumber parties.
Quote:
Gibbs: Try and brand the cologne.
Abby Sciuto: Why, you want some?
Gibbs: Nope, don't use cologne. Women I date think the smell of sawdust is sexy. That's probably why I don't... date many women.
I was thinking about Gucci Pour Homme for the last one haha.
