Title: “midsummer nights cream” by Giorgio Beverly Hills
Description: Picture this: you’re an el Salvadoran prostitute named Pretzel Legs and you need to quickly aerate your lady bits. You grab a nearby bottle of febreeze and some incense and rub it on your tunnel of love. Oh no! You forgot to empty out your hamper after the last John; so now it’s a weird fluids mixed with industrial chemicals and flowers situation. You go about your day, head held high.
Top notes: Air freshener, semen
Middle notes: vetiver, bread
Base notes: unwashed yoga pants
Bottom line: there is a man in front of me with jizz on his pants. I’m not even joking. Aside from that the stink is just average.
Description: Tanning beds and burnt rubber collide in the newest fragrance by Dior. Out of the bottle and rubbed on the skin, you get an immediate slap of synthetic tan lotion and a crop dusted fart. You stuff your freshly orange frame into a bedazzled blouse and head for your nearby Autozone for a set of new tires. Bridging the gap between hardware and skin cancer, this fragrance will lift you up and then bury you 6 feet under. Spray if you dare.
Top notes: ambrosia self tanner, fart
Middle notes: burnt rubber, sweaty jacket
Base notes: that thing where you run in a baseball hat and then smell it.
Bottom line: the train is like 90 degrees and full of people who don’t understand personal space. Literally a purse is resting on my shoulder and it’s a Michael Kors… and that in itself is tragic.
