| Description |
The multicolored bottles beckon from boutiques and the fragrance counters of department stores. "Smell me," their labels might as well read, and smell luxury, glamour, romance, sunshine on the beach, a garden in full bloom, exotic resorts, illicit affairs, haute couture runways. Celebrity names claim to be both the inspiration and the chemist behind each scent. The open secret is that the celebrities and designers whose names sell each bottle aren't really involved. They smell money in perfume sales, but nothing more.
