I have just seen an advert for it, and I couldn't believe what a daft name it was...

YANBU. I don't think I could say that out loud and keep a straight face.

LadyCad · 24/09/2010 21:51

who makes this "wombanity"?

FallingWithStyle · 24/09/2010 21:52

That's quite rubbish, yes.
It's a saturated market though, names will just get more ridiculous.
I await Eau de Clunge.

sunfunandmum · 24/09/2010 21:52

Tierry Mugler. I went on the website to see if there were further copywriting gems, but alas, it was even more unfathomable than the blooming name.

I'm off for a look.

Hilariously bad.

Wondering whether it can be real.

MistsAndMellow · 24/09/2010 21:54

Fucking hell, really?

LadyCad · 24/09/2010 21:55

I don't know what to say

TiggyD · 24/09/2010 21:55

Isn't a manatee a big, fat, wobbly sea mammal from america?

LadyCad · 24/09/2010 21:56

I just couldn't ask for it at a counter. I could not, could not say that word.

Well it's not a word really is it? More of a mumble, really.

kat2504 · 24/09/2010 22:55

YANBU at all. It is a ridiculous non-word and a stupid name. Dread to think who will be buying this. I know I couldn't wear it. What if someone said "ooh you are wearing new perfume, what is it?" I'd be ashamed to answer!!

BitOfFun · 24/09/2010 22:58

Inanity would be more apt. I do like Thierry Mugler perfumes though.

TiggyD · 24/09/2010 23:27

The smell I like is called "Bleu".

Some kind of spelling mistake?

Ridiculous!

Kaloki · 24/09/2010 23:29

The bottle is beautiful! Shame about the name

MintChocAddict · 24/09/2010 23:32

Ha,ha.
Sounds like a Geri Spice Girls saying. 'All you need is womaninititity.' Grin

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 24/09/2010 23:33

What a bizarre name! It's impossible to say.

Tiggy - I think you'll find that Bleu is the new Chanel 'fragrance' for men, and therefore French, where it isn't a spelling mistake.

TiggyD · 24/09/2010 23:37

They spell virtually all their words wrong in france. They get the odd bit right like "camping" and "Cul de Sac".

The stuff I like is made by Issey Miyake, who I feel might come from abroad. Possibly Wales.

JaneS · 24/09/2010 23:38

Apparently, Womanity smells a bit salty.

TiggyD · 24/09/2010 23:57

I would imagine that Womanity smells like women. In which case why not just smell naturally?

midori1999 · 25/09/2010 00:04

We went to Lodon for a few days and in Selfridges we couldn't escape people trying to spray us with this.

I agree, odd name.

floweryblue · 25/09/2010 00:09

Have not sniffed Woe Manatee but most new perfumes seem to smell of toilet cleaner or cat wee to me.

Am I missing a trend?

JaneS · 25/09/2010 00:20

What did it actually smell like, midori?

flowery - well, they do say old lady chic is in ...

Envy
midori1999 · 25/09/2010 00:22

Well, they were trying to spray us with it, but I managed to avoid it, the name put me right off.

So, I don't know. Grin

floweryblue · 25/09/2010 00:26

So if I let my cat wee on me and then mop it up with toilet cleaner will I have done cutting edge fashion and recession busting fragrance?

JaneS · 25/09/2010 00:29

Pretty much, I believe flowery.

We should get together and write for Vogue now.
