Because I wonder... or something. Yes?!

Good morning, you at Armani. Or bonjour at L'Oréal. Or hello, shareholders at Nestlé. After all, you own 25 percent of L'Oréal. And they own Armani.
First of all, what is this?
'Because it's you.'
Why English? Because "Si Numero Due" sounds silly, of course.
Because everyone understands the "because you are it".
'Oh, Chantal, I give you this fruity floral because you are worth it to me...'

Old slogan from L'Oréal: because you are worth it...

Because it's you - and not the redhead next door.
Although... you always want a tall skinny one and then get a short chubby one...
c'est la vie.
And naturally, la vie est belle.
La vie est belle because of you.
Yes - because of you.
Gabrielle, because of you.
Good girl gone bad - because of you.
In love again - because of you.
Shirin David - because of you.
La Rive, in the German drugstores, because of you.
Judith Williams on the TV - because of you.
You are the blueprint of mediocrity. The average in the turquoise shopping bag. Even if they change their logo, because of you, you remain you.
You stay you.
You are assembled in a chemical factory from food aromas and detergent smells.
Because of you.
You are interchangeable, but for many, you have become the epitome of perfume... because of you offending nobody

but old bitches like me.

You are a truly becauseofyou-like You.
I can't even hate you.
But why, pourquoi, perchè... are YOU listed together with your big sis Si in Luca Turin's new bible as a four-star fragrance?
So you are as good as Annette Neuffert and Andy Tauer? You are better than Chambre Noire and Vero Kern?
Nestlé is not accidentally also building wells in Greece, where Turin lives?
Because I understand only railway station and can only curse in Greek.
Des goûts et des couleurs on ne dispute pas.
But one can wonder, after all.

I love your amazing review!
Breaking through all illusions - because nothing else that money can buy matters - "because it is you" who dazzles them! This Gold(en girl) just tells you!

A trophy - because it’s you. No, just kidding, it’s for your frustration, which I must shamefully admit I’ve noticed with a smirking grin.

Oh dear, I tested it on the go and rated it a 6.5. I guess I was too lenient.

I don't think the scent is that bad. Definitely better than the extremely hyped La VIE est Belle.

It makes your head spin with all these corporate stakes. Poor, pitiable creatures wasting their lives creating such contracts and perfumes. And then they think they belong to some big luxury elite. I'm laughing my head off because of you, Gold.

Oh, L'Oréal belongs to Nestlé... good to know, at least now I know which fragrances I won't be buying...

Hhhmm, it started off funny, but then it got a bit awkward. I definitely learned little about the scent because the info was sacrificed for the humor, from start to finish.

Thank God I don't fall for every nonsense that happens! The big corporations keep things running, but the quality suffers. People do too: some can't get water, while others get sludge.

Because you wrote this funny comment, you deserve a big trophy :-D.
Yeah, the scent... I don't know the girl version, I have the boy version here. But I actually don't think it's that bad, contrary to so many opinions here.
Thanks for the laugh this morning!

Really? Luca Turin? Then it's top-notch! You just didn't understand the scent properly :)

Haha, thanks! Speaking of Luca Turin: I only have this little old book, it's pretty, but there's not much in it and what little there is doesn't seem very nuanced... back to the scent: where do the 4 points actually come from?

Some horrors are spared in smaller towns with less selection. Thanks for the warning.

I tested it but didn't rate it (pushed it aside ;)) However, I won't forget your comment anytime soon... Because it hits the nail on the head! :)
