Poop & Pee - A Little Love for Peety (by O'Driù)

6/14/2015

3 Comments

 
I've been talking a lot about ambergris lately, which can smell a little (or a lot) like barnyard animal poop.  Enter Peety by Italian perfume house, O'Driù, a self-proclaimed "pleasure factory".  Here's a perfume that smells outrageously good on its own (a bottle of the wonderful perfume is +$200 USD), but there is also an option for you to "personalize" it with 10 drops of your own, unique liquid (i.e. pee).   There's so much fun to be had in the magnificent world of perfume!  Just think of the possibilities, since the scent of urine changes all the time.  Would you have curry that day, or maybe sushi? One thing is for sure: I would neither drink too much water (bland) nor take any vitamin supplements beforehand.  But that's just me. 
Ya, you gotta love the name--"PEE-ty"--and how there is a tiny, yellow drop of tinkle on the bottle.  I've said it before, and I will say it again--don't dismiss this perfume and concept as disgusting.  Peety (giggle) really is one of the best perfumes I have smelled in a long time.  And nobody is forcing you to add urine to it, it's just an option for those who think it might be fun to tweak their $200 perfume and risk hating it, LOL.  

Most people don't even realize that civet, a secretion similar to urine that is forcefully stolen from the glands of a tortured civet cat, has been used in perfumery since antiquity.  Your great-grandmother's beloved Joy by Patou, Chanel No. 5, and Guerlain Shalimar are only some of the famous perfumes that have always contained civet, although likely synthetic now.  [Side note:  I am wholly opposed to animal abuse and torture.  I do not support companies that are known to use real civet when synthetic civet is now typically used in perfumery.  I do not support companies whose perfumes feature "vintage civet", collected long ago, as any purchase of civet creates a demand for it.  At least O'Driù allows you to be the pee-pee source instead of helpless civet cats, so bravo for that!]

Also, here is O'driù's website.  It is quite fun and humorous! http://www.odriu.eu/store/

If ANYONE OUT THERE is reading this and actually tries putting their stamp on their bottle, PLEASE leave a comment as to your experiences!

What!! Well, news to me lol.
I remember when I found out what musk was after over 10 years since I first tried white musk from the body shop and was pretty taken aback.
I think I'd add a hint of musk, sweetness and orange flavour incase anyone was interested! :s lol!

Musk with orange sounds lovely! I also love musk! The good news is that a lot of musk is synthetic now, and I actually love white musk, which is definitely synthetic. It can be hard to tell with niche perfumes which ones are synthetic and which are not.

Haha! Yeah I drink a lot of orange squash (as an adult). I like white musk too. I didnt know that some companies did use real musk these days? Most of it's just chemicals in perfume I would assume-a few essential oils maybe. I'm not sure what makes a perfume niche.
