Politically incorrect fragrance notes?
by Neonwhite | Perfume Discussions
...hey everyone, I'm from the German perfume site. The topic affects me because I personally deal with languageI think a ban on language is far too exaggerated in this case."Orient" is a colloquial geographical term that doesn't offend anyone. Anyone who feels offended by a scent being described as "oriental" should first look for the problem within themselves.Of course there are words that have the ability to hurt other people, specific groups of people. It's good that this is being thought about sensitively at this time.However, if we start prohibiting from the word "oriental" - (not in relation to people, but to an object, namely perfume), then where should we continue and stop?In all areas of life there are people or small groups of people who have a problem with something. If we start to ban or change everything, we humans will no longer be free. Reminder: “Oriental” is absolutely not an offensive term!We not only have to change, we also have to be able to simply endure something. This is especially true for loud, always demanding groups of people.By the way: amber just sounds absolutely inappropriate and misleading.Best regards!
