Hey Ho POSSE Frag Hags,
It’s dirty old Portia from AustralianPerfumeJunkies here with a treat to give you a Thursday smile. We have another mental look at some slightly sideways fragrances with the ever lovely Robert “Radium” Maxwell. This time we give a couple of the CB I Hate Perfume a go. They are an interesting crew led by Christopher Brosius and here is what he has to say on the CBIHatePerfume site.
When I was a child, I wanted to be an artist or perhaps a scientist. Instead I am a perfumer – this is perhaps a bit of both. I’ve been described as one of the most innovative perfumers of the 21st Century. I’ve won awards, my work is in museums and countless people in all civilized parts of the globe enjoy the unique scents I create. Much to my surprise, at least in a small way I have changed how people think of perfume: what it is & how it’s used.

CB I Hate Perfume LIVE Video Sniff
As always I like to remind you that we are fragrance enthusiasts, not professional noses, it’s late after I have hosted a smashing night of Turbo Trivia and we’ve all had a few alcoholic beverages. The long suffering BFF Kath is on the video camera and constantly has to pull us back to focus on the job at hand because EmmaKate, David and a couple of other friends are all sitting off to the side making faces and doing regular dumb ass stuff. The filming of these mini movies is one of the great highlights of being an AustralianPerfumeJunkie.
I hope you get an inkling of how much fun we are all having and get a smile, smirk or chortle from our videos; and learn something too. Special thanks to Kath for filming and editing and also to the long suffering Jin for making it blog ready.
This is NSFW unless you have earphones on, the language is quite ripe and fruity.
Please go and have a look at the CB I HATE PERFUME site
You can also grab samples/decants from SurrenderToChance
And, if you think this was fun go check out AustralianPerfumeJunkies, we love visitors.
As always we wish you only the good stuff you wish yourselves till we see you next week.

Please enjoy our look at Patchouli Empire and Fire From Heaven.
You two are so cute. Like Poodle, ‘smells Catholic’ made me snort my drink!
I have a sample of Fire from Heaven and now I am going to dig it out and see if it does smell like the thurible at Midnight Mass!
Yay! Getting the. Crew warm for your mornings coffee and tea,through the nose, is our aim,
You know if you squirt water through your nose it refreshes your sense of smell?
