Perfume Wars: Oh, It’s On

mariah.jpg
Launching a perfume isn't enough. P. Diddy had to launch an inane rivalry too. To promote his Unforgivable Woman scent, P. Diddy picked a fight:

I send out a challenge … I challenge all of my female counterparts that have fragrances … that my fragrance is better than theirs. I’m a man and I know how women should smell!

What woman would want to smell they way a man like P. Diddy thinks a woman should smell?

Mariah Carey, who has her own perfume, M, to promote, took up the challenge.

I heard about this competition, and I wish Puff all the best with his new fragrance, but I think we're actually appealing to different types of women. M by Mariah Carey is about being unforgettable, not unforgivable. It’s not about a ménage à trois or a one night stand, it’s for the woman who wants the man to fall in love with her immediately, stay in love, and treat her like royalty.

So basically, M is a perfume for Mariah Carey: a 37 year-old, divorced woman without kids who still believes her prince charming is out there.

So America, which would rather smell like: sluttiness or desperation?

    Mariah is sooo gonna be better than Diddy!! Mariah is a WOMAN so being the WOMAN that she is i think she knows how WOMEN WANT to smell not how WOMEN SHOULD smell!! And by the way, mariah has a boyfriend (Mark Sudack) if you should know!

    so this is the deal, Diddy's std's have made it to his brain and his shit must be rotting if he thinks for one 2nd that he knows what a woman should smell like and that his stuff is better than any other female's fragrances on the market right now. I will agree his stuff is better than JLO's

    Mariah responded perfectly and I am glad she called out the difference between her stuff and his hoeish aroma to sell on the market

    it's crazy to be reminded just how lame our society is to think something is wrong with being 37, single-non mother. let this faggott blogger forget that maybe its hard to meet a guy who doesnt want her soley for her fame, money, etc. woman shouldnt be insulted cause they dont have children and because they are single and over 35. if it were a man he would be applauded for being a bachelor. ps. mariah's perfume smells fantastic.

    Oh My Word… if Diddy ACTUALLY believes that ALL Women Want to Smell just ONE way then he is the one that is Desteratly Sad. At least Mariah is NOT making random claims like him. There are far more Mariah Fans out there since she in An International Icon so there is no doubt in my mind. Mariah will win this race :)

    Sorry Diddy but you lose when it comes to Miss Mimi,and you better not say that you know what women should smell like,cuz you dont.
    And i agree with London too,but i love it when she says "it’s for the woman who wants the man to fall in love with her immediatly"

    Mariah is so amazing in her choises so im sure that she'll win,and dont forget she got us.

    Is there an age limit to believing your prince/princess charming is still out there?
