You see them all the time. A wealth of discount perfumes that smell like the things in your pantry… vanilla, fruit and even chocolate. The situation is even worse for cheap perfumes marketed to teens or little girls. You can almost guarantee that the fragrance will have some sort of food-like smell, even if it is a slight one.
So, from a fashion point-of-view, are these types of cheap perfumes worth their money Are they so clichandeacute; that they are the main reason why cheap perfumes receive so much of a stigma, (at least among certain people)
Well, there are some people that dont like these types of perfumes, mainly because they smell so much like candy. And for some people, such smells could censor a longing for food, even if its on a subconscious level. Others think perfumes that smell like food are offensive altogether, even if the scent is emulating a more pleasant food item.
Granted, no scientific studies have been done proving whether or not people are subconsciously affected by these types of fragrances. However, there are blogs and other resources where people admit they have these thoughts when smelling food-like discount perfume. So, who knows… maybe a study could be warranted, but for now there are no statistical figures either way.
Ultimately, its going to depend on your own preferences. If you love sweets, especially candy, you might find yourself craving food more when wearing food-like discount fragrances. But it will also depend on how food-like the fragrance is, as some cheap perfumes do have a chemical smell. If it does not, it may have more natural ingredients, which could be more tempting to your subconscious mind.
In conclusion, when it comes to the world of cheap perfume, food-like discount perfume will always dominate the perfume outlets. Whether or not this is a good or bad thing will depend on you. If you are easily tempted by food, you may want to stick with muskier scents that dont rely as much on fruits or spices for their fragrance. Otherwise, go on and enjoy these scents and dont worry about what others think.
