Is it me or is anyone noticing this?
In the 90's you had the huge hits like Cool Water/Miyake/Aqua Di Gio gaining steam and during that period I can name you it seems like over 100 scents that came out in the 90's riding the band wagons of these scents....
All bland.....all wanna-be's....all just blah....and it seemed like all these pioneer scents were copied, copied, copied over and over again and it almost became sickening....if its one thing I hate its imitators and wanna-be's....I mean how about pioneering something new and unique that will be the next trend setter?
Well I am seeing this happening again....and in the same exact fashion....I mean some may think its snobbish...but I can't stand copy-cats, bandwagoneers, and wanna-be's who lack originality in their fragrance design.....
In the 2000's (particularly the past 5 years).....It started with Amen in the early 2000's (although Amen was standing alone for a while)....Then came the new Burberry London (with the brown flannel covering) and Polo Double Black.....and I really have a hard time appreciating fragrances now because after the success of these big daddy's (and a few others that have slipped my mind) it seems like every new non niche frangrance released these days is modeled and jumped on the bandwagon in this genre of scents....In the 90's is was the Freshie Fresh's.....In the 2000's I like to call them the "sweet nothings"
Now it seems like every new fragrance released is a "sweet nothing" lacking any originality....Davidoff Adventure, Gucci PH 2, Polo Explorer, Dunhill (with the Orange box),Gaultier 2, KK Signature, Hypnose, Silver Shadow, YSL.....and on and on and on we go with these fragrances...To me they all smell bland, unoriginal, and very blah....and as I had stated they are all sweet smelling unoriginal fragrances...
Does anyone else notice this? I mean maybe it is because I like fragrances that are unique...but the only fragrance I listed that I would wear and I thought was fairly unique was the new Burberry London....it had a unique something to it that was quite unlike anything else....but the rest to me are just copy cat's and the 2000's have become like the 90's.....No longer super fresh/aqua fragrances...but sweet feminine and uninspiring bandwagon fragrances...
I know this seems like just a rant...I just had to get it off my chest....not sure why my brain groups all these together in one pot and will not allow me to appreciate them individually instead of collectively...
Anyone else notice this? Any thoughts?
