10 Disturbing Perfume Brand Names

Have you ever perceived a fragrance that smells really nice— only to find out that the name isn’t as pleasant as its scent? You probably have, or maybe not.

If not, allow me to introduce you to 10 of them:

Bondage Homme by Milton Lloyd; Bondage by Milton Lloyd for Women

• 

• 

Speechless? Guess it means what it means. The package lives true to its name. Though nothing is said about what inspired the choice of brand name, what may easily come to one’s mind is that it is designed to keep one or one’s significant other in bondage. There’s no way to even comprehend this.

At first glance, you’re like : “Why Vampire Midnight?” You might even wonder if the fragrance is for vampire wannabes.

Poison Perfume for Women by Christian Dior

• 

“Poison?” Why? Why should you smell like poison?

According to Dior.com, the perfume is an irresistibly seductive fragrance characterized by spectacular appeal.

Each poison fragrance is a part of the Dior legend of seduction, embodying magic and audacity, fascination and enchantment.

Among the poison collections are Hypnotic poison (which come in as perfumes, sprays, bath and shower gel, and body lotion) and pure poison (which is a perfume).

What may likely come to mind is poisoning by seduction— if that even makes sense.

Death and Decay by Lush for both Men and Women

• 

“Why would anyone want to smell like death and decay?” If this is what is running through your mind, you’re not alone. Someone else is thinking same.

According to various reviews the fragrance doesn’t actually stink as you might think. On the contrary, it smells like white lilies with notes of rose, jasmine and tonka bean. It was inspired by the cyclical nature of life. The Lush website says:

“… it reminds you of the prosaic side of death; the funereal silences, the reverence of remembering those who have passed.”

Death and decay is a floral fragrance for both men and women that was launched in 2014.

Le Baiser Du Dragon Perfume for Women by Cartier

• 

Le Baiser du Dragon ( The Dragon’s Kiss) was created in 2003 by Alberto Morillas. Why the name? Fragrantica.com has this to say:

“Cartier’s Baiser du Dragon (the Dragon’s Kiss) is a dangerous and powerful scent. Exotic and intense, it will transport you into the world of fairytale dragons, princesses and princes.

You can hear the burning of the dragon’s fiery breath while bitter smoke envelopes you and your sense, but then, suddenly, this gentle warmth settles on the skin.”

So now we know that this is a dangerous and powerful scent. Okay!
