Worst Perfume - - By Chandler Burr
" Julian Rouas paris perfumes come out smelling like a rancid toilet bowl" -
I love perfume and I always like to try them. Perfume is an olfactory sensation which can trigger your memories, whether it is a chaotic or magical time in your life. New perfume designer, Julian Rouas, came unexpectedly to the office last week carrying his perfume collection (5 total) in a little plastic bag. A bit pushy and arrogant, he beseeched me to do him a favor by writing a great review. So, the next day I wrote the requested review while sniffing my hand with his perfumes. First of all, Julian Rouas perfumes didn't impress me at all, to say the least, despite their cute miniature golf bags. The first three perfumes, which include, Extasy Night and Mr. Rouas' favorite, Versailles, had a musty kind of smell, a strange combination of flower essence and sulphur, it smelled a bit like cat urine. I seriously don't know anyone who wants to smell like that! Perhaps Julian Rouas meant to capture the true scent of living in the Chateau de Versailles in 18th century France where servants and desperate nobles were peeing into corners and staircases. It is important to choose a perfume with quality fragrance ingredients. Freshness at Julian Rouas Paris is certainly not a prerequisite, or maybe something went terribly awry during the process of the "concrete" or the "absolute". These are really delicate processes in perfume making, that's why some perfumes come out smelling like a rose and others like Julian Rouas Paris come out smelling like a rancid toilet bowl. The fourth perfume of the Julian Rouas collection smelled like the neighbor next door was doing laundry, a chemical insecticide scent was overwhelming. Finally, his last perfume was within the standard odor quality of the fragrance industry. Nonetheless, it was mediocre at best with an inferior substantivity on skin. A truly great perfume is not created in a hurry, the Julian Rouas Paris perfumes are too light and too basic, they have no characters. There is a reason why Channel No5 is the best-selling perfume in the world, and Julian Rouas Paris is completely unknown in the perfume industry. To his credit though, Julian Rouas' perfumes can be used with good results as pesticide around the house for cockroach and ant control. However, with its high price tag of 95 dollars for a 2 oz bottle, it would be the world's most expensive one. - Chandler Burr -
