Stormy Daniels took to social media on Wednesday morning to announce the release of Truth, her new “sensual pheromone infused” fragrance.
Fans of the adult entertainer congratulated her on the news — with several vowing to pre-order the unisex perfume/cologne — but not everyone was as enthused by her announcement.
Among the many well-wishers and supporters, Twitter critics accused Daniels of capitalizing on her publicity to make money. Another simply called the perfume “gross,” while still others wrote more crass responses.

It’s become almost impossible to find a new, quality perfume. Even the classics from such houses as Guerlain have been reformulated into ghosts of their former glory. Recent EU restrictions (where most good perfumes were made) have forced perfumers into foregoing the natural ingredients of the classics, including as fundamental an ingredient as oak moss. This also affects the perfumes made elsewhere, as the EU is a large market for selling them.
Unless a person can get their hands on a vintage perfume which hasn’t deteriorated too badly, they will never smell a classic chypre again. I don’t think that that bothers younger perfume buyers, as they seem to mostly buy the ubiquitous fruity florals and gourmands anyway. They’re never going to know what they’re missing, and that’s too bad. But it has certainly put a halt in my own purchasing of new perfumes, including the niche perfumes. Fortunately I have a huge stockpile of old classics, including such gems as Shiseido’s “Nombre Noir”, classic Diors (old formulation), original YSL Opium, a lot of pre-formulation niches, classic Hermes Doblis, and many others.
(My all-time favorite perfume is Guerlain Djedi, and I hoard my two vintage bottles of it as if they were worth their weight in gold).
I was in high dudgeon when these regulations were passed (and I fully believe that the huge companies which produce the synthetic molecules, such as Firmenich and Givaudan played a role in this).
I don’t care what they say about any given isolated molecule smelling “just like the real thing”, they can’t reproduce the complexity and richness of the natural ingredient. Not to mention what it’s doing to regions such as Grasse, which for generations grew the flowers upon which the perfume industry relied.
Just more Big Nanny interference in something even as innocuous as personal fragrance, though it’s not so far-fetched when you think what’s in it for the huge synthetics firms. And in this case, the EU’s reach is global, if you want to tap the huge EU market. So the rest of the world has to suffer cheap smelling, unsophisticated perfumes.
Those ignorant, naive Twits. ("Twits." Get it?)
Daniels is a whore who sells her very being in the most degrading manner imaginable, and "Twitter critics" criticize her for "capitalizing on her publicity to make money?"
Why do they think she embarked on this debacle in the first place?
LOL, Truth? Is this a late April Fool’s joke?
Neither me. The only one which came close to having any quality was one of the original celebrity perfumes, named for Catherine Deneuve.
sounds like truth, smells like the mississippi
“I was in high dudgeon when these regulations were passed (and I fully believe that the huge companies which produce the synthetic molecules, such as Firmenich and Givaudan played a role in this).”
What regulations?
(I went back in this thread and couldn’t find an answer—but maybe I missed it.)

At least they didn’t call it “crotch”..
Donald Trump and Bill Clinton end up in the same barbershop.
As they sat there, each being worked on by a different barber, not a word was spoken. The barbers were even afraid to start a conversation, for fear that it would turn to politics.
As the barbers finished their shaves, the one who had Clinton in his chair reached for the aftershave.
Bill Clinton was quick to stop him saying “No way buddy, my wife will smell that and think I’ve been in a damn whorehouse.”
The second barber turned to President Trump and said “How about you?”
President Trump replied, “Go ahead, my wife doesn’t know what the inside of a whorehouse smells like.”
For some reason, I can’t read about a “Stormy Daniels” fragrance and not think of that joke.
Is it possible that this professional sex worker got a photo with Trump that she parlayed into a 100,000 extortion payoff and then throwing away the non-disclosure agreement millions of dollars worth of free publicity?
I mean as a celebrity NOT causing family problems is worth about 100,000, which was the payoff of the ND agreement, but then as vilified president, you can get top billing on all the major media channels. It seems possible to me. Trump hasn’t really said.
From what I gather, the original IFRA proposals were made in 2012, and have been ongoing implementation since then, until they’re now about fully in effect (with other ingredients added as “necessary”). Oak moss was one of the first to be hit, which really was a major hit, as all classic chypres and a very large part of the other classic perfume categories employ oak moss. My understanding is that some small amount of tree moss can be employed, but it’s such a small amount that it’s easier and cheaper to just use the synthetic substitute. Many, many other natural ingredients are on the hit list, even some which are used to fragrance other scented products such as household cleaners.
With subtle undertones of sweat.
Does it spray on in spurts?
I thought it was sex toys modeled after their own body parts?
One of the last things I would ever want is to smell like a low IQ porn worker.
i like Lovely, by Sarah Jessica Parker. But it does not last.
L’eau du snatch

It’s got a wang to it.
Ye Olde Sn@tch Perfume:-)
