As much as I don't like the whole Truth Or Dare brand concept, I am REALLY REALLY curious about the perfume. Madonna famously smells good so you just know she's going to have paid a lot of attention and made sure this smells exactly how she wanted. I like the bottle a lot. It doesn't look like anything else out there and that's a challenge with so many on the market.
How boring do I sound? Wonder if it'll be out by Christmas?
Madonna stated… I have always been obsessed by fragrance and for years wanted to create something personal that was an expression of me, but that other people could relate to as well. Something classical and timeless and yet modern. My oldest memory of my mother is her perfume. I carry it with me everywhere. She always smelled like gardenias and tuberose, an intoxicating mixture that was feminine and mysterious. I wanted to re-create this scent, but with something fresh and new about it as well. Something honest and yet daring – hence the name Truth or Dare.
I love how she speaks of her mother, - its very touching. Its also nice to see her working so close with Fabien Baron on the bottle and campaign, he brings out madonnas heritage with her religious symbols. the bottle reminds of almost as if were something you'd see in the vatican. no? She's one smart cookie!
Wow that shit look awful...lawd ham mercy that has to be the ugliest perfume bottle i have ever seen...but i guess it can be a success i mean beyonce house of dereon aka hot mess is a success..
and also to VANITY BONNET with her sad comments on this site(iam sure its really gaga or perez hilton)......as great sophia from the golden girls said" jelousy is an ugly thing and so are you in anything backless).....
The scent will be available in a 75ml EDP ($68 / euro 62), 50ml EDP ($55 / euro 46), 30ml EDP ($39 / euro 35), Body Lotion ($28 / euro 22), and Shower Gel ($24 / euro 21).
Even, the rounded cap alludes to that. Rather than an un-inspired design that doesn't symbolically represent anything, like many perfume bottles, this one actually has a story.
Of course there is going to be a group of people that can and will complain about everything and anything Madonna produces or fails to produce.
my first reaction was not good. now i love it. my mother had an entire tray of perfume bottles - still at the house i grew up in, jungle gardenia also her favorite.
HOLY WATER!!!
ReplyDeleteI like it. Its clean and it doesn't look cheap. Love the white!

ReplyDeletelove it ..it really captures MADONNA...its very holly water, italian church,catholic and glamorous....brilliant...ill be buying the whole collection
ReplyDeleteand also to VANITY BONNET with her sad comments on this site(iam sure its really gaga or perez hilton)......as great sophia from the golden girls said" jelousy is an ugly thing and so are you in anything backless).....
ReplyDeleteFrom the looks of the bottle its going to be sold in drugs stores. I hope its not true.
ReplyDeleteLove the logo - hoping for more religious iconography this go around - especially if Mert and Marcus bring it like they did for the Interview shoot!
ReplyDeleteThe design is ugly, i dont like it but im excited for the smell of the fragance. I'll be buying it no matter what, thats for sure.
ReplyDeleteKurt, Kurt....truth or dare...truth or dare....you wanna fuck us?"
ReplyDeleteHorrible design but im sure it will have the Catholics talking about it LOL !
ReplyDeleteNice logo and I'm sure it will smell nice, but I don't like the design of the bottle. Reminds me of a coffin and it looks cheap.
ReplyDeleteBut the thing is, it WON'T be cheap ;)

ReplyDeleteshit, it does look like a coffin!
ReplyDeleteI don't think it looks "cheap" at all. I'm assuming that it's milk glass, or frosted glass. Which, is quite reminiscent of holy water bottles.

It grew on me. At first glance I didn't care for it but now that I see the milk glass and the details I think it does look luxurious.
ReplyDeleteOf course it looks like a coffin? That's the point. Catholic imagery.
ReplyDeleteNot going to buy it, but I do like the design.
ReplyDeletemy first reaction was not good. now i love it. my mother had an entire tray of perfume bottles - still at the house i grew up in, jungle gardenia also her favorite.
ReplyDeleteawww. gardenias are lovely!
