Dear Sir or Madam:
I recently read that you have come out with a Play-Doh® scented perfume. Although I would not necessarily want to wear such a scent myself, the news did make me curious about your products. The titles in your “library” reads as oddly as a list of lipstick colors, although when choosing cosmetics one does not need to interpret names like Sizzle or Plush in confusion. One can simply look at the color. Most of your scents seem rather straight forward. I was not immediately aware, though, that “redhead in bed” was the name of a type of drink. I still do not know what “riding crop” might smell like, or “snow.”
With a two year old in the house, I am exposed to the smells of childhood daily, and I do appreciate the spirit behind the Play-Doh® perfume. I wonder whether you have a crayon scent in the works, or red pencil. Why do the fat red pencils from kindergarten smell like nothing else? If it’s kid-slobber, please do not tell me.
I imagine your factory to be like Willy Wonka’s. Is it so? Did you select the city of Great Neck for you company on purpose? What a coincidence that would be!
Truly,
Liz Mann
