How can you have that thing in your house, teeny? I get a mag with ONE of those things and I feel like I’m going to pass out.

I tore them all out, that’s why it was easy to count.

yeah but i bet the mag still reeks

yep :(

luckily vogue takes 15 minutes to “read”

It’s best to just tear all the pages out and make a fucked up collage.

so kingfish was the closest then! :P

I feel I should make a concession speech.

Marmot is closer than I.

Do any of them actually smell good?

PUT YOUR HANDS UP FOR MARMOT- HE LOVES BEING QUITE CLOSE WHEN GUESSING THE NUMBER OF PERFUME SAMPLES IN THE DECEMBER 2006 VOGUE

not initially

x-post

hah, that could actually be a reply to any of the last three posts.

oh yeah kf when kenan originally asked I guess you were both closest at the time. My apologies to those trying to do the math.

Paris Hilton’s thing smells like bubble gum and flop sweat.

not as bad as you’d think then.

the tom ford one was great for three seconds but then I put it on and it smelled like vanilla car freshener.

I think the hermes one was nice but I can’t be sure, I think it’s going to take some serious time for my nostrils to get over tom ford.

the hermes one is one of the greatest perfume samples of all-time...and deserves its place amongst the pantheon of prada, juicy couture, davis, and banana republic alabaster.

Do the smell of these mix all together? Can you indivituate them, or is it just one mess of Eau de Sample?

haha! snappy!

I liked the Tom Ford one, it didn’t turn too vanilla on me but yeah, it’s missing some kind of spicy undernote big time.

All of the other perfumes made me want to kill a bitch.

As a teenager, I used to tear these things out and line my drawers with them. As a result, I always smelled of a mixture of Obsession and Narcisse. Not a good combo.

The bonus to the Tom Ford one was that it was one of those packet things with a perfume wipe in it, instead of the infernal scent strip.

yeah tom ford obv has some jack to throw around!

black orchid’s really pricey, isn’t it? i’m glad i can scratch at least one thing off the expensive-things-i-might-want-but-won’t-be-able-to-afford-list.
