'sex in the air i don't care i love the smell of it'


 You and me (and at least 6,714 others) both, Lily Allen 

What about smelling like Rihanna? Internet sinkhole the Daily Mail reports that "We all want to smell like Rihanna" and that her second fragrance has outsold all other celebrity fragrances in the UK, and is on pace to sell 4 million bottles by the end of the year.

But unless the notes are sex, drugs, and coconuts, there is no way Rebelle smells as dreamy as I suspect Rihanna does, based on her Instagram feed alone, which gives off a distinct tang of leather, yacht wax, lipstick, high-quality marijuana, five-star hotel lobby, several sweats, nail polish, beer & champagne, that smell that passes between women when they spend every day together, sea salt, fresh avocado, sunscreen, cotton, cocoa butter, and gold.

(Post title comes from Rihanna's song, S&M. The lyric is discussed with great depth and sensitivity here.)

  1. Hahahahaha. I was expecting that last link to take me to an article I genuinely looked forward to reading and being, you know, intellectually stimulated by. Like, something in The Atlantic or Harper's or... You get my drift. But alas! What numbskulls! Hilarious numbskulls, but numbskulls all the same...

  2. I should have employed the sarcasm font! But I'm glad you got a chuckle from another of the internet's dank Q&A corners.
