An Article on Men's Colognes & Attitudes Towards Perfumes {The 5th Sense in the News}
I love this article because the interviewed SA in it innocently yet very accurately defines in a nutshell the art of fragrance which is in essence, derivative, being all about nuances and variations, more like cooking than painting or literature (unless they want to play on variation):
"She (Sue Vandall, a SA) likes to "push the underdogs" when men come into the store to buy cologne. Vandall said her favorite is Reaction by Kenneth Cole and she compared the scent with Sean John, which is one of the best-selling colognes. They are similar but also very different (my emphasis)."
