Vending machine fragrance for the French

According to some nay-sayers, the French aren’t particularly particular to personal hygiene, but having French heritage myself, I say phooey to that! They invented perfume, for God’s sake!

In a recent initiative luxury cosmetics retailer, Sephora introduced a CK One vending machine where commuters could purchase small samples of the fragrance.

From February 7 through February 20, visitors to the Métro’s La Défense, Charles de Gaulle-Étoile, Montparnasse and Miromesnil stations could buy a special 15ml size of CK One at an on-site “CK One Pocket Store” by Sephora. Priced at EUR 10, the limited-edition pocket size is also available through Sephora itself.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I will admit I was rather partial to the fragrance in the nineties, when I was listening to the Spice Girls Nirvana and locking myself in my bedroom during my teenage angst phase, however, that ship has long sailed and smelling like synthetic toilet cleanser is so ’97. That’s what Lush is for.
