Perfume for dogs - eau de woof woof woof!
This story made me laugh yesterday. I heard it on the news ont he way home on some radio show, here is a snippet from Reuters
A London store launched an eau de toilette for pampered pooches on Monday that costs 38 pounds ($78.60) for a 50 ml glass bottle.
Upmarket pet shop Mungo & Maud hired perfumer Lyn Harris to create a fragrance exclusively for man’s best friend.
The result is “a gentle fragrance inspired by nature with notes of French blackcurrant, Tunisian neroli, mimosa and violet leaf on a base of sweet vanilla bourbon with a little almond”.
The shop’s creative director Nichola Sacher said she hoped the perfume, called Petite Amande, would “refresh the dog and appeal to the human nose”.
I’m all for a bit of deodoriser for animals and what not, but jesus, how ridiculous, what a statement this is! I won’t even go there on the whole social question of why we’d scent our pooches at a cost of nearly £40 quid a bottle, probably distressing them taboot! Lets get it right,dogs much prefer the smell of dog shit! I think the makers of this dog perfume stuff are missing out on a trick here, Sandy (my dads dog) would really go for some of that, “ooh she’d think, eau de dog poo, my favourite”
Christ, the worlds’ gone mad I tell you.
