More Sex in a Bottle
Avon is what you might call a victim of its own success -- the sheer ubiquity of its products over several generations has cheapened the company's image in the minds of many American women. In spite of its mass-market reputation, however, Avon has issued many fine fragrances over the years; To a Wild Rose is one. The bottle I own, a vintage cologne, looks just like the one in the above picture, and it packs a punch like vintage Femme Rochas. That's it's closest cognate, I reckon; like "Femme," "Rose" is a fruity chypre, a dirty-sexy perfume for unafraid, past their prime females. Want some cheap thrills? Into vintage, skanky fragrances? You can find the milk glass bottle above, which holds 2 ounces, for around 5 bucks on ebay.
