Do the TV commercials for perfume and cologne leave you wondering... "Did someone slip something in my drink?" Just why are perfume ads so phantasmagorical? Well, they can't tell the truth! Man: It smells a lot like everything else out there, and if not for desperate holiday shoppers, we'd probably be out of business!
The first time I saw the word “phantasmagorical” was on the cover, or liner sleeve, of an early David Bowie album. Can’t remember which album, but the word impressed me. -I’m very grateful to get my favorite perfume at Christmas. It’s so ridiculously over-priced, I’d save it for only special occasions if someone wasn’t generous enough to buy me a new bottle every year or so.
