You got a pretty perfume...-hands you the package before plopping deadbeat on the sofa- At this rate I'll never get that reservation.

Why do they call perfume "eau de toilette"?

That translates to "toilet water".

Just imagine if the perfume is just sold as "toilet water" in English. French makes things sound better. tongue

I now go by Graf von Tirol.

Well, French is the language of love, so even the strangest of phrases in English will sound good in French.

Everything Sounds Sexier in French, indeed.

I think it came from the fact that in ye olde times, toilet water was scented. I think.

HA!

Why on Earth would you want scented toilet water?

I dunno.

Funnily enough, the idea of perfume was to mask your terrible smell, not to attract the opposite (or same) sex.

[up]No, no! It's fine! The beauty and self-care industry just relabel women's stuff as men's, and increase the price.

No, I'm afraid there's little that can be done to make me feel less bored, unfortunately... :(

But I appreciate the sentiment in any case. :D

Ah well. I'll put away this wacky PM then. Let me know if you change your mind.

And then someone long ago thought to combine the ideas of smelling good to covee up your bad smell AND attract opposite/same sex.

Step One: Combine ideas.

Step Two: ???

Step Three: PROFIT!

[up][up] Sure.

[up][up][up][up] Actually, it's just the opposite. They relabel the women's stuff as men's, and then lower the price.
