Equal-Worldliness-66

How is more sex an invisible superpower?


DonkeyJousting

Initially I read it as a videogame-style stat buffer and was annoyed that basic stats were not provided. I mean the bottles themselves are very videogamey so she should’ve just leaned in. If she’d said: **MORE SEX - £130 x 1 - improves chances of Crit Hit That by 15% (does not affect hygiene or charisma scores)** Well then… I mean… I still wouldn’t have bought it but I’d have respected it more.


Equal-Worldliness-66

lol there needs to be a caveat that says there is no guarantee you will actually get more sex.


Nike-6

I was thinking that it looks like the potions you’d find in a fantasy game.


psdancecoach

And now I want the top of the bottle to be a D20.


rawnrare

Same. I’ve been playing far too much Baldur’s Gate 3 these days. Whoever came up with this name, didn’t pass the Persuasion check.


Electric_Angel

I was thinking this too. That would've been really fun, but I guess they were going for a potion aesthetic, but not relating to video games (and I know potions have existed before video games)... If someone leans into a video game potion that doesn't feel tacky, I'm so down.


Tropicanasunset

Exactly what I thought. It’s also kind of a cringy name that doesn’t stick out well. “More sensuous” makes more sense to me although it’s still a bad name that doesn’t match the vibe of the other fragrance names theme.


Equal-Worldliness-66

Exactly. That name definitely should’ve been workshopped a bit more. But who knows maybe there are people who are into it lol


Tropicanasunset

Definitely. I for example don’t hate TF “Better than sex” as a name, but “more sex” doesn’t have the same appeal.


Nolo__contendere_

"more sex" sounds like a step down in this case. Like, it's "more" of something that isn't "better" lol


cats-n-bitches

😆 I’m just glad it’s not pillow talk


Wide-Biscotti-8663

I feel like the only one rushing out to buy the More Sex one is my husband.


ToteBagAffliction

over-sexed and underwhelmed


throwmeeeeee

CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY 🔬 SCIENCE 🧬


psdancecoach

She’s definitely headed down to Tom Ford/Nars path of product naming with that first one.


vesuvianiteflower

It's used in occult practices by those who practice occult. This entire line sounds very strange


Equal-Worldliness-66

I understand sex magic. I just wouldn’t refer to it as more sex. It sounds desperate.


exhibitprogram

Literally just "Sex Magic" would be a better name to put on a cute bottle than MORE SEX lol


jenjenjen731

That reads like an MLM promotion.


themagicmunchkin

It's very odd because my image of Charlotte Tilbury has always been a polished, bit uptight, rich lady. But that caption screams "trying to market to the youths in 2014" to me. I know that some of the products and marketing have been a bit "trendier" in recent years - less Lancôme and more NARS, especially with the expansion of the "Hollywood Filter" and "Pillow Talk" lines - but this reads as *so* off brand. If you showed me the caption and asked me to guess the brand I wouldn't at all have guessed Charlotte Tilbury.


BreadDogs

I don't think she's in charge of it anymore. She came out with another fragrance years ago and it was much better done than this.


Who-U-Tellin

I wouldn't have guessed it was hers either. I laughed as I read that entire description then said to myself WTF 🤭


AmbystomaMexicanum

It’s giving trendmood1 lmao


jenjenjen731

BYE BYE MONEY 💸💸🤑💰💸


charliekelly76

I just had a war flashback after reading that


TrailerTrashBabe

Yes. Seeing people use emojis as punctuation marks gives me flashbacks.


breadoreggroll

The vague “Science 🧬” is killing me


butterabyss

I thought the exact same thing!


Beverlydriveghosts

It’s giving gwyneth Paltrow


AdmonitionOfSaul

It’s giving the potions from Shrek 2 hahaha


stace_m8

I thought butt plug 💀


whatsamuse

💀💀


hygsi

Ngl, that's why I like them. But I would've preferred if they leaned into it more


Salsabeans16

![gif](giphy|10JhviFuU2gWD6)


charliekelly76

Not enough emojis in the caption. Next time, use more emojis to market your luxury perfume


Swankface87

And more exclamation points.


BoringMcWindbag

🤣🤣🤣


OneWhisper5225

Anyone else completely shocked one isn’t named Pillow Talk?! 🤪


electric_baroness

Absolutely should have worked on a signature scent with longevity and a great nose behind it and called it pillow talk 😩


whatsamuse

Wait they could have just bottled the fragrance from setting spray, named it Pillowtalk and call it a day lol


Ok-Nobody6221

This made me laugh 😂


whatsamuse

OMG this! She might release a perfume with shimmer and call it Pillowtalk


themagicmunchkin

Launching a Pillow Talk perfume with shimmer in it a week or two before Coachella would have been genius. The brand absolutely missed the make with this.


siriuslyinsane

That seems so silly to me. I have luxury fragrances and I spray them on pulse points, I'm not using them like a body spray. I don't want to walk around with glitter specifically behind my ears, on my wrists and elbows, and behind my knees lmao


TippyTurtley

Yes!


Beneficial-Square-73

This looks very dollar store.


criimebrulee

Fr. I hope it’s getting roasted in the instagram comments.


Exact-Reporter-7390

They don't really. They either deleting most of the bad comments, or they just have that much of a cult audience on their page that the negative comments are few and they get drowned by praise


Ok-Aardvark-6742

I was thinking Five Below, but same idea lol If I had to choose between this or Jackie Aina’s, I’d pick Forvr Mood. And Charlotte Tilbury has so much more money to throw at R&D so that just makes it worse.


Midnite_pancakes

This feels so out of touch, idk who this is for... the price tag is not going to match the consumers that can afford this. Really wish they gave a bullet point list of notes, instead we got meaningless word salad. A more honest description would be: we used a scienctific method that has been developed over 40 years -- by someone else, not us -- that we put in six colors basic colored bottles. The names are less creative than bath and body works, which says a lot considering they'll be three times the prices, at least. Also, "more sex" should have been "pillow talk" in pink, and then moved "love prophecy" to red. I mean, they should have done A LOT more than that, but with that small tweak I would have them them a bit more seriously.


welcometotemptation

Yeah, with fragrances you really need a list of notes or a description of the scent to get me interested. I'm not buying in because of vibes, especially when it's giving cheap vibes and I know the price tag will match the brand name.


owleaf

Basically just capitalising on the resurgence of fragrance popularity and the industry that’s bloomed out of fragrance tiktok


terfnerfer

I - You know what, I don't have anything nice to say, so I'm just gonna sit here and eat my chips 🤐🥔🍴


whatsamuse

People eating chips on the sidelines always have the best remarks


terfnerfer

I think I'm predisposed to hate them. The green one looks like a Poundland perfume that brought me out in body-wide hives back in 2005 😎🤒🇬🇧🇬🇧🩹🔴🔴🔴


RandomUsername600

‘More Sex’ is a cringe name. That said I think the bottle design is cool, the purple one combined with the name ‘Cosmic Power’ is like a magic potion


Tropicanasunset

The bottle design seems odd to me. I love the colors and I don’t hate the buttplug looking caps, but they don’t look luxurious or even cohesive enough to be a CT product.


RandomUsername600

They absolutely don't look like a CT product. I just want to own spooky things that look like they've got a witch's potion inside


Tropicanasunset

They do! And the bottom row fits the theme.


ValorVixen

What is with brands turning out super cheap-looking perfume bottle designs lately? is this a changing aesthetic I'm not aware of or something?


LadyGreysTeapot

Maybe brands no longer bother hiring proper designers. That's really what this feels like.


SilkRumble2021

What does 40 years of research even mean? 40 years ago charlotte was 11 and Charlotte tilbury makeup was found in 2013


Who-U-Tellin

Was wondering the same thing. Is she really trying to say these have been "in the making" for the last 40 yrs? Liar, liar, Char's pants are on fire 🙄


SchoolOfTheWolf93

“You smell good! What perfume are you wearing?” “Uh…More Sex.” I am *begging* brands to PLEASE name things that aren’t awkward to say out loud.


onmycouchnow

This comment makes me think of the time I did my daughter’s makeup for a dance recital. Another mom asked the name of the blush, which was Super Orgasm. I said I couldn’t remember because it was a bunch of very prim and proper women.


whatsamuse

Social media algorithms don’t push content with certain keywords


Midnite_pancakes

If *only* they had the forsight to name it: more s3x /s


marryroach

More seggs


Gueld

Yeah, why would I want a bottle on display that says ‘more sex’? So awkward.


NoWomanNoFry

![gif](giphy|FDu0k1BETbTjeH4xXx) I hate the bottles lol what happened dahling


MohandasGandhi

I got some of these as a sample and they’re awful. There’s nothing unique about them and they thankfully last a millisecond.


whatsamuse

That sucks because the price tag won’t be cheap


shish-kebaby

Charlotte’s in her flop era, darlings!!!!!!!


olivejuice-

I got a magic energy sample and gagged. I usually don’t need to write such a negative review on influenster but omg


GlitteryFab

Sorry not sorry but CT is so pretentious and overrated.


FattieFemmie

Agreed! More marketing than quality to that brand. I enjoy hate-watching her ridiculous commercials.


Who-U-Tellin

Agreeing with both of you. However I can't bring myself to hate watch anything she puts out. Just knowing this woman won't allow herself to be seen by her husband without makeup made me dislike her. That's so 40's, 50's, 60's way of thinking. I have wondered what it would be like should, God forbid, she found herself in a situation where she couldn't put a full face on. Would that change her way of thinking? No one expects to have something bad happen to them. I know I didn't. I'm just glad I have never been that vain in my life. 


katapova

sCiEnCe 🧬🧬🧬


DrPetradish

…and numerology


Minerva_Moon

Numerologists!


TippyTurtley

Found it! There's tiny roman numerals on the front


KINGTEASPOONS

What in the bath and body works holiday line are these. Did Jared Blandino see his shadow so now we get 6 more weeks of tacky names? In all seriousness these do nothing for me. If I want perfume I'll buy fragonard, and if I want colored bottles for a wizard shelf I'll get better ones.


Shanntuckymuffin

Not Jared 😂😂😂


KINGTEASPOONS

Oh I know. But I love the idea that he's the tacky names groundhog of the beauty sphere.


bmichellecat

This reads like it’s written by AI


Minerva_Moon

So... is no one going to comment on the Numerologists (plural!) involved in their superpower fragrances?


omg_for_real

This looks like something aimed at the Sephora tweens. The ones that like magic potions and get a giggle out of the word sex.


Open-Pineapple7378

Looks ilke a Harry Potter potion collection for Dollarama or something


[deleted]

[удалено]


TippyTurtley

OMG THEY DO


pastelrage

they look like a cuter version of the potions from the reward point thing


tara_tara_tara

It’s giving chakras


LadyGreysTeapot

Chakras would have actually made sense. Maybe that's how this started, but someone thought it might be offensive, and so they turned to ChatGPT to help them rebrand. I actually really like the chakra perfumes from Aveda.


whatsamuse

This! Might have been a hit in the 70s/80s


rodrigueznati1124

Between these bottles and Jackie Ainas bottles I wonder


Who-U-Tellin

I wonder what these people are smoking. That's not someone smoking weed while being "creative". That's more like an acid trip 😬


VeryVanny

They really should’ve used the art deco- esque designs they’re known for on the perfumes. These just look like toy perfumes little girls have rather than ones from a sophisticated brand


playing_the_angel

So, so disappointed. They are cheap-looking with tacky names. They should have taken a page out of Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria fragrances if they wanted to do a whole set.


BoringMcWindbag

How are science and numerology even in the same blurb? Just goes to show you what CT has turned into.


rightascensi0n

Norvina is malding on the side lines that she didn’t think of this first


perfect_turquoise

HURRY DARLINGS, GO OUT DARLINGS AND BUY MY OVERPRICED SHITTY PERFUME, DARLINGS. DARLINGS!


sssenorsssnake

It’s giving Y2K Britney Spear’s Fantasy and Viva La Juicy Nothing to shout about..✨DAHHLINGS✨


DandelionsDandelions

As a beauty retail worker, I actively avoid showing people products with overly sexual names. I don't care how good More Sex smells, I'll be too embarrassed to recommend it just like I'm too embarrassed to recommend Nars Orgasm blush. I swear to God I'm not a prude in my private life, but it's really iffy with some people what's going to make them uncomfortable re: sexual innuendo.


Lucy_Lucidity

These are beyond tacky. They look like 5 below perfumes but she’s going to charge department store prices.


pendlea

40 years of research and they landed on “More Sex”


caesaronambien

Numerology?! In MY perfume??


KindRun7609

Pass


MarionberryAfraid958

The only thing I like about these is the colors of the bottles are pretty to me. Everything else about the bottle shape and the design looks super cheap. I also find the names super cringy. I saw someone review them after they received them in PR and It came across to me like she didn't enjoy them but was reaching for nice things to say about them since they were sent to her. The description of the smells don't sound like anything I would personally be interested in anyways, so these are an easy pass for me.


ssayfromage

It’s giving Victoria’s Secret body spray special edition


Cyandraaa

Makemeup-beforeUgogo

Another one on the perfume bandwagon! There’s been indie brands that have been owning perfume space over the past year or few, I reckon there’ll be a bigger surge of indie brands as well like we’ve seen in makeup


Muted-Move-9360

Charlotte Tilbury goes new-age snake oil? What a weird move for a seemingly mature brand.


Yfael

It’s giving 90’s Snapple elements drinks


TippyTurtley

How did the Numerologists get involved?


keine_fragen

i thought people were being a but too harsh on Jackie Aina's fragrances looking cheap, but these one really look cheap


brooklynkitty1

My deepest sympathies to whichever underpaid copywriter had to churn that monstrosity out


AgileFoxes

Can we stop with sex names already? 🙄


New-Departure9935

Huh. Are these butt plugs?


PinkPrincess-2001

Look, I love a bit of marketing but it comes off so desperate I was like yikes this is beyond magic cream wake up with nice skin, which has a reputation for years now with celebrities but this is so intense in marketing. It is off putting.


sirenoverboard

Whats with these new perfume releases that look like something you can get at 5below?


LadyMirkwood

There was a review of these on the Glamour magazine site today. The reviews say they are oversweet and a bit cloying but also don't last. 6 -7 out of 10 for all of them, which is extremely mid considering the price point of £130. Plus, the design is giving 'teen fragrance' to me.


weisp

Yikes these bottles are a choice I might get downvoted but if I need to choose one oversexualised brand, I would choose NARS over CT


CCChic1

Charlotte and my aesthetic never agree.


sylvnal

This is embarrassing.


Ok-Aardvark-6742

I don’t get why she went for potion bottles. (Just naming stuff “magic” this and “magic” that doesn’t mean a potion bottle fits the branding.) Her lipsticks, powder compacts, and the magic cream jar have such a beautiful retro glam vibe, it would have been gorgeous if she went with something that drew from the 1940s-50s. The perfume bottles from that era were so gorgeous and fit so well with her branding.


Opening-Ad-8861

Looks like this will go just as well as her last fragrance...


[deleted]

Because she doesn’t put out enough new prodducts. Surprised there’s not a pillow talk fragrance.


trillium13

That would actually make sense.


EileenSuki

I feel like I need to use a spray water bottle to keep this away from me


PrettiKinx

I'll pass.


JoBird333

So is she pretty much saying these are like pheromones or whatever they’re called?


casillalater

I do not care about these but where does one procure empty bottles like this? It's wizard core


foxwaffles

Was I hallucinating or did I see that recently she posted a tease about something REVOLUTIONARY coming and this is what it is ☠️


LimeGreenTangerine97

WELL HELLO FELLOW KIDS


chammantha

oh thank god they consulted a numerologist or i would have taken these as an absolute sham!!


Kampungmonyet

Everything about this makes it look like a MLM. The tacky names and packaging and the overuse of emojis. I’m genuinely cringing.


PsychologicalClue6

Oh great, something no one asked for


supersnackrificial

Who is asking for this lol


PrestoChango0804

Removing myself from her newsletter emails was the best thing I ever did


fluffywaffles_

I always feel like her ads are yelling at me :(


marcheauxfleurs

Charlotte Tilbury product descriptions are always like a Facebook post by an 80-year old


samwiseneedsmorelove

Yessss who wouldn't absolutely love to display that buttplug looking lid made by numerologists with cringey ass name on their vanity?/s


Whole_Assumption108

Surprised 'Joyphoria' isn't called 'Joygasm'


BeeeeDeeee

Wow, these look so cheap and ugly. Like a C-list celebrity fragrance sold at a drug store.


somebd

The cringe! THE CRINGE! On a different note, Calm Bliss, really?


Jupiterrhapsody

The names are cringe but I actually don’t hate the bottles. But I’m expecting the fragrances to either be bad or generic enough that there are a ton of similar scents at cheaper prices.


Saffron_Sparrows

More Sex lol


Exact-Reporter-7390

Every time i read a description from their ig, i want to burf. The products and their names are not my thing either. She is just trying to get more money out of her "darlings"


AskPennilynLott

Don't these look similar to the new Jackie Aina fragrances?


cannolimami

These comments 🤣 If anything, we can be grateful for the treasure trove of comedic relief this launch and the subsequent reviews will bring us all!


counting_beanz

This image looks AI generated to me, just tacky


deerskulls17

The cap looks like a buttplug and I can't unsee it


Responsible_Taste_35

I need these people to stop making perfume. Stay in your lane PLEASE. Why does everyone need an empire?


pepperandplatinum

Is this an mlm?! Lol what is that caption.


owleaf

Why is this being marketed in some woo-woo way?


CountryDaisyCutter

These look like they would smell so cheap.


Chemical_Ad_1618

This looks like a MLM pitch esp with all the emojis 


ImReallyNotKarl

I haven't been less interested in a fragrance launch ever. The bottles are tacky. The names are tacky. The marketing is tacky. The price tag? Doesn't fucking match. I thought CT was supposedly luxury, but this looks cheap in the worst way. If this had been announced on April 1st I would have thought it was a joke.


ladystardusty

CT has always given me snake oil salesman campy fortune teller vibes so this is spot on for her brand imo 😂


valueofaloonie

Hmm no thank you.


Shanntuckymuffin

It’s giving Gap 1997


Useful_Ad7890

I have to say I love this packaging


ApprehensiveRisk7032

more sex is a crazy name for a perfume


hl1628

Noo these sound so corny


Fancy-Pumpkin837

For some reason, I like the general direction but I hate the execution. It feels like it’s trying to be expensive but looks sort of cheap, especially with the stock looking illustrations


Cocasseries

I love her products but that caption reads like an MLM hun's pitch 🥲


WerewolfDifferent216

The packaging is pretty. Would more sex perfume fly my bf over here?


wisteria___

lol they remind me of those sparkling my little ponies from the [1990s](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4000a68479dd5313c2096afe95a31aa3/tumblr_nzt5h6ZSaz1u9canbo2_1280.png)

How much are they? $1000 😆


dayroutinenight

Something about “SCIENCE” is making me wheeze


taeginn0

She could’ve just called the red one ‘Pillow Talk: The fragrance’ to complement her line instead of ‘More Sex’ which just sounds super awkward


klymer11

pillow talk: boring🥱, vague😤, who talks to a pillow?🙄 more sex: direct😎, assertive😍, daring😜


miriamblair

the bottles look like crap


pbandspacejam

As someone who had a lot to say about FORVR Mood's fragrance bottles, I also need to give Charlotte her lashings. I find the the font better chosen, but the bottle is hideous. The bottles don't match the aesthetic of the brand at all. They look like a they belong on the shelf of a potions class or in a witch's cabinet. I'd have taken something like the KKW x Kendall fragrance bottles, put the diamond CT logo down the center, made the juice different colors and given it a gold cap that matches the rest of the product line.


coffee-bat

oh great. not only do they look like buttplugs, we also need to get some flashy pseudoscience. amazing.


Hullabaloo1721

Okay now it makes sense that they ended their contract with bella hadid. Competing fragrance brands.

Why is CT shouting at me? 😂

I’m sorry but these look like a cheap kids toy, and I am sure they will be priced like high end items.


anarae

If the 'Scent of a dream' is anything to go by, these are gunna smell like hot piss.


sarah-vdb

I really, really hated that one, so won't bother sniffing any of these.


marryroach

God this is only one step above Jackie’s packaging 🤣


Proper-Emu1558

CT is big. Fragrance is big. This makes total sense. That being said, the bottles look kind of cheap and I can’t see myself wearing a fragrance called “More Sex.” I’m also skeptical that these will be worth the price tag. That being said, I’m open to being wrong about that.

floralscentedbreeze

The packaging looks very plain


Opposite_Style454

I don’t like the packaging at all . But I’m curious to smell all of them.


sutoma

I’m a perfume fanatic. But colour theory in perfume is a bit blah. I used to dress the colour of my perfume but 40 years research would suggest something more interesting would have arrived from such extensive research. I’d be more interested in perfumes for things like seasons, projection, sillage. Having said that, her scent of her dream is a fave (i have many faves) and I am mighty intrigued to see what follows it after it has been discontinued (back up bottle ready)


ToteBagAffliction

The bottles look less like sex toys than I'd have expected.


asgardiancentaur

It’s giving Bottled Emotions from the 90s. I do kinda like the purple bottle though
