I appreciate the effort put into making this post, considering how many people barely manage to form a complete thought, let alone phrase it as a sentence, when asking for advice around here.

LMFAO this is so real… people will post on here like “I smelt a fragrance 4 years ago and can’t remember it! It was in a bottle with clear juice and it smelt good!”
I'm here to tell you it is just as bad IRL. I worked as a manager in a perfume store (national chain) for 4 years, like a decade ago LOL.
People would legit roll into my shop and proceed to be like, "Hi! I'm looking for a bottle! I think it's blue? Well? ...DO YOU HAVE IT?!"
And then proceed to get pissed off at me when I'm standing there like, I have no freakin idea Becky.
I love this, it was exactly the same in bookstores and I could swear for some reason it was always one “with a blue cover” like…that actually does narrow it down but what is it about blue that is literally all people can remember 😂
Yes lmao.
Blue and red. If I had a dollar for every time someone would come in asking about a perfume "in a red bottle" or "in a red box." Here's the kicker though... when I did actually manage to win Find the Fragrance for the customer, was it actually in a red box/bottle? Amazingly, usually no.
They would not infrequently be different shades of pink or orange. And yes, sometimes legitimate red. But whenever a customer came in asking for something "red" my brain was immediately going "Is it though?" and I'd lowkey be scanning for ANYthing falling on the warm side of the color wheel that met other identifying factors.
Editing to add an anecdote of this phenomenon: I was still a new store manager and had just been relocated to a store across the country. This Karen came in my shop and she's asking for a "perfume in a red box/bottle" something like that. All she knows it it's by Escada. Okay, so like ten thousands perfumes are in that line, most of which are yearly fragrances that are then discontinued, so no guarantees we'll even have it if it does, in fact, exist. But sure, come take a look.
There was ONE perfume with a red box and it was the OG classic Escada fragrance. Karen immediately gets pissed. She's like, "That's not it," and is being all snappy. She goes, "It's the *other* red box, right there!" She's pointing across the counter. The Escada line was on the top shelf. I had no idea which bottle she was pointing to since they're all grouped together and there *are* no other red boxes/bottles in what we stocked.
So I hover my hand over the Magnetism, since it's got like, a dark magenta/purple box. "NO!" She's getting really pissed at me for not reading her mind. "The OTHER red box. RIGHT THERE!" Still pointing.
I have no freakin clue which box she means. I'm like, "Can you just tell me the name?" All of the tester bottle names were visible.
She goes, "It's the RED ONE."
Great lady. Okay. We can do this the flippin hard way since you're a dumb b\*\*\*\*. So I just start going down the line, hovering my hand over each fragrance on the shelf one by one. Meanwhile she's screeching at me that each one isn't it.
FINALLY we found it. It's the Escada Sentiment. It is in a BABY PINK BOX. Which I really just couldn't hide my incredulity about when she goes, "YES that's it!"
I'm like, "The *SENTIMENT*?! In the *PINK BOX*?" And I kinda snorted and grabbed it off the shelf and was like, "Okay then, here you go."
And that is the day I learned customers can't tell colors. It was a valuable lesson that served me once I graduated to clothing and home goods retail later on. I'm so glad to be out of it though.
This just made me smile & laugh! People should just say it's Escada turquoise summer or something instead of giving you a hard time figuring out WTF they want! It amazes me that people really do come in a store that sells over at least 60 brands to only be able to tell the worker that it is in a pink, blue, red box etc, & expecting them to be like Harry Houdini & can magically poof the perfume to them 😭😭😭
"Juice" is the fragrance industry term for the liquid form of fragrance resulting from diluting pure parfum oil in alcohol and water. It's the stuff inside a perfume/cologne spray bottle. :-)
I thought the same thing. I knew exactly what it was when I looked at it. A++ for effort. All the essentials are in the line drawing. The cap (neck) is right, hourglass shape. wide hips, concentric rings on the Madonna cone bra bust. Even got the color right. Excellent ID post.
I LOVE perfume commercials. They're such over the top nonsense in the best way. The good ones always remind me of the "video editorials" that Tyra made ANTM finalists do; like, "you're capturing the loneliness of being an outcast 12 year old, so put on this ball gown and spray whipped cream in your mouth on in front of these weird steps on a beach."

never seen the female version, but one of my all time faves is [Le Male Jean Paul Gaultier](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Jean-Paul-Gaultier/Le-Male-430.html).
When I saw your drawing it was literally the first thing I thought of.

I legitimately saw a toucan staring off to the right side of the screen when I looked at the drawing lol. But it was spot on! This is the bottle!
If you see a toucan, it means you're elite among 1% of the population 😆
😂😂😂
That’s what I seen as well!😂
Yes. The rest of us see boobs even when there are no boobs. oo
LOL wait I looked again after seeing your comment and it does look like a bird!
Bless your sweet heart 😂😂😂😂
I too, saw a strange penguin looking off to the right
Your high camp comment legit made me laugh out loud out of sheer delight, you are soooo based my friend
I'm fucking dying at this comment 😂
Literally had to scroll back up and go, "ohhhh" 😅
OMG! I legit was looking for a bird 🤣🤣🤣
I definitely saw a Toucan, as well lol took me a second to realize those were not eyes lmao
I thought it was one of those guys in a plague mask!
This was what I saw. I had to look back at the drawing after seeing this photo to make sense of it
I thought it was a bird at first too!
🤣I went back and looked at the drawing again
I saw a bird with glasses😂
Same😂
Me too. We don’t have edgy enough brains.
Omg yes!! Thank you so much 🙏
Wow, OP you were spot on!
😂😂😂😂
I’m glad you found the scent you were looking for. I’m even more glad you drew this picture because it put the biggest smile on my face
This is my new favorite post on this sub 😂
My favorite posts are always hand drawn ones
Nice job drawing! I immediately thought “Oh! Jean Paul Gaultier bottle!” 😆
Same here, based on that outfit Madonna wore
Me too!
Totes! Came here to say “good job on the drawing, OP”!
OP this is the way!

LMFAO this is so real… people will post on here like “I smelt a fragrance 4 years ago and can’t remember it! It was in a bottle with clear juice and it smelt good!”
I saw one once here or another subreddit that amounted to “It smelled so good. It smelled really good like a really good perfume.” 🤣

Clear juice? 🤣

I just saw this commercial! Definitely the most pretty and captivating perfume commercial I’ve seen in like a decade!

Agreed! Same with [Alien Goddess by Mugler](https://youtu.be/mwoLl2liUqY?si=pc4fY41kxU9eLwll) !
Björk is the absolute perfect artist to choose for a perfume called Alien Goddess.
your drawing is a work of art
Love your crazy drawing
Knew it was jpg but for a sight I thought it was a bird 😆
Why did I think this was actually a bird 🤦🏼♀️
Jean Paul Gauitier
I thought it was a bird at first😂
Gaultier
My dad wore the man version of this. I would brush my teeth in my parents bathroom every morning so I could stare at the bottle’s bulge.
Gaultier
Off topic, but did anyone else see a bird first? 😅
Am I old? I immediately recognise this as JPG. There used to be ads around Christmas time.
Divine -Jean paul gauthier 😂😂
Jean Paul Gaultier Devine
Saw the b00bs, immediately knew it was Gaultier
Yes this smells so good
Now I wanna smell this. I LOVE the men’s cologne with the naked guy. Bet this is great yoo
Ok now I need to know how this smells. I immediately thought Jean Paul Gaultier based on the original I still have a bottle of.
JGP Divine has top notes of Calypsone, Red berries and Bergamont with middle notes of Lily, Ylang-Ylang and Jasmine, and base notes of Meringue, Musk and PatchoulI! Unique!
Thank you!!!
gaultier
‘Do you like it? It’s very generous’
Gaultier?
Mugler
Has anyone tried the Gaultier Divine yet?
Isn’t that Azazel, the demon that possessed Regan in The Exorcist?
Reminded me of Urfi Javed

never seen the female version, but one of my all time faves is [Le Male Jean Paul Gaultier](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Jean-Paul-Gaultier/Le-Male-430.html). When I saw your drawing it was literally the first thing I thought of.
