LaLuna 12,732 Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Eau de Gaga was nice but I preferred Fame. I got complimented on it a lot when I was wearing it. 20 hours ago, Anderson123 said: She didn't want to sell perfumes, she was forced. Funny how she didn't want to sell perfumes but then she started a beauty line. Because HL was her idea and not someone else's maybe? Side note, she looks so freaking beautiful in this video Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fragrance is a really powerful artform, and many master perfumers create what are called "scent stories" or "scent journeys" where the perfume is capturing either an emotion, a concept, even a place or time, or trying to bottle up the essence of a person (e.g. "this perfume is inspired by Frida Kahlo"). As an art form and supplement to her other artistic ventures, perfumery would've been an interesting avenue to continue down, if she managed to work with good perfumers. She could describe a concept to them and they can turn it into a smell. There are all kinds of scent notes too, not just flowers... There's a blood note, there's an accord that's meant to smell like an old library, there's even a c*m note lol. You can get perfume to smell like just about anything. I think she sort of undermined the power of fragrance as an artform and also as a story-telling medium. Imagine a perfume that *smells* like the world of Chromatica? Or even a fragrance that embodies her characters, like Enigma. That's just me as a perfume lover really dreaming deeply lol, but Gaga's creative brain paired with a world-class perfumer could really make magic. Eh I see it more as for her as an artist, perfume is never teed up as an Artistic venture but a capitalistic one. I think if she’d come to it on her own she’d be very appreciative of the art form but the business has corrupted it to **** Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
