I'm not tempted to buy this, sorry!
 
I'm doing my grocery shop and like a good thrifty person I'm checking what's on offer in all deptments. So I don't end up in that RAWR situation of having to pay full price for some more laundry detergent or something, if nothing's on offer when I do actually need some more - and I see this!

This, I think, is a perfect example of not a lot of thought having gone into what to name a fragrance!

Winter Garden, huh? This meant to fill our minds with images of sparkly snow? (which, incidentally, smells of nothing). Has Febreze somehow managed to recreate that nose tingle from breathing in frosty air? (with many carcinogens and allergic reactions included free of charge). Or is this a fabric "refresher" that's going to make your sofa smell of mud and damp rotting leaves...[ninja] Can't say I'm sold on this one Febreze, sorry. [lol]

Should be called Rainy Garden due to it always raining in England.

I thought I'd come across the lamest names for products when I came across toilet-seat sanitizer called 'Pee Safe' and something called 'Poo-pourri' to make your poop smell less yucky and more like, um, potpourri I guess, but this is even lamer because it doesn't make sense.

Pistachio_Moustache 10-09-2014 05:16 PM

I LOVE the ad for Poo-pourri!
xD

jellysundae 10-09-2014 07:57 PM

Poo-pourri is a legit product, I think xDD At least with that the name is intentionally tongue-in-cheek.

I think I just have an issue with the way a lot of products in the cleaning category are named. >< That Febreze is just dumb, but when fabric softener's called something like Topaz & Magnolia...wut? [lol] Just what does topaz smell like when it's at home!

Maria-Minamino 10-09-2014 08:00 PM

My best friend bought poo-pourri to see if it would work...it does :P

I want to buy some now for the kids' bathroom. xD

If someone took tea blends and turned them into fragrance I'd be all over a winter smell [drool]

Cherry Who? 10-10-2014 03:13 AM

Better yet, they then misspelled their shitty name on that product listing! [lol]

I think I have a candle somewhere around here that purports to smell of snow. It smells of peppermint. Sure.

jellysundae 10-10-2014 03:23 AM

Tesco has a crapton of typos on its website [gonk] Maybe they manage to drive their prices down by employing monkeys. -.-

sjacklene 10-10-2014 03:24 AM

Wait wait wait.... Poo-pourri? That is the strangest, yet kind of intriguing product I've seen in a while... Interesting....

This... I might buy this.

jellysundae 10-10-2014 03:57 AM

xD Ah Biggles, you are a very unique lady [hug]

Cardinal Biggles 10-10-2014 05:13 AM

I love the smell of leaves being leaves.

HIM_ROCK 10-10-2014 10:39 AM

Damn it Jelly you should be buying me food D<

Uniplex 10-10-2014 11:48 AM

That just... What? That'd be the product I picked up and scolded whilst walking through the store.

Yes... I scold products that I don't understand.

jellysundae 10-10-2014 08:37 PM

Do they cry?

But HIM, why? [gonk] What about my food? [cry]

Uniplex 10-10-2014 10:41 PM

Sometimes they do... Which makes me feel kind of bad. >.<

jellysundae 10-12-2014 10:00 AM

Ok, Febreze hooked me in in the end [lol] Didn't see this one before!

That had better smell bloody amazing, because if I've wasted £2 that could have been spent on 4 pints of milk and a loaf of bread then I'm gonna be [illgetu]

Dandelioness 10-12-2014 10:25 AM

I can't stand products that aren't meant to be eaten that smell of stuff that's meant to be eaten. It makes me want to eat them. And I can't, and that's torture.
Uniplex: THAT'S SO CUTE XD do they understand English and what're their tears made up of? (I can imagine petrol wooshing out of the headlights of a car... but what if it got angry instead of sad and decided to run you over? O_O frogettit [froggy] I dunno wat am saying.)

HIM_ROCK 10-12-2014 10:35 AM

JELLY SHOULD BE BUYING ME PIE !!

jellysundae 10-12-2014 12:13 PM

Pie?! What kind of Brit are you, HIM! -rescinds your citizenship-

I like food-smelling non-food (well obviously I guess, as I'm buying some xD) but only if it smells nice, and not sickly/cloying. I'm expecting this to smell comforting, but if it's gross I shall want to scream ><

My mum gave me a vanilla chai Yankee candle and that smells really nice, but I can't burn it for very long or it gets over-powering ><

The Wandering Poet 10-12-2014 01:00 PM

Just don't let the smells mix. My mom did that with candles and the overpowering smell in that room was horrible

HIM_ROCK 10-12-2014 04:32 PM

PIE IS ONE OF THE FEW FOODS WHICH IS BRITISH !
