Seriously ...
Spritz!


Jokingly ...
Aromatorium

(That's just sooo '60s. You used to get your oil changed at a lubritorium and go swimming at a natatorium.)


Ooooh! I think Spritz! is great, too!
Such clever names! smile.gif

One gal here has a funny signature . . .something like . . . . "Smell my finger . . . ."
I laugh everytime I see it, how about THAT?

I think that the cattle feed you are referring to is silage. Different pronunciation as well as spelling.

Hope I beat the deadline. Got a couple of good ideas. The other two stink.

1. Spritz! Au-Go-Go / Spritz! A-Go-Go. Spritz! - A- Rama.

2. I don't think anyone has brought up the possibility of a celebrity endorsement.




3. Legally change your name. Instead of jcscents you could become Jean Claude Guerlain.

4. Tailor the name of your shop to your target audience.
  • Cowboys? Parfum Saloon.
  • Firefighters? Five Alarm Frag.
  • Robert Oppenheimer? Atomic Sillage.
  • Internet bargain hunters? No Shipping $50 Purchase.
  • People like yourself? ______ - _______ _______ . (Fill in the blanks.)

I think we were had. Has anyone seen the OP? It's been over two months. Was the prize awarded? I'd like to hear from the lucky winner.

I do like Au-Go-Go, can you trademark it?

Yes, whatever did happen to the OP?

I like the concept Au-Go-Go too but correct me if I'm wrong but I think the correct French phrase is À-Go-Go.

From July 28, 2008.

I recall a certain Lizzie on a major perfume board offering a bottle of Creed Green Irish Tweed in a contest she conducted in February 2006 and then promptly falling off the face of the earth before awarding the prize.

Wanna bet we never hear from jcscents again?

Not so fast, buddy. If anybody is going to win those bottles of perfume it's not going to be by default over a spelling error.

Technically, it would be à Go-Go, as in Parfum de la Vie à Go-Go. The Rolling Stones covering the Smokey Robinson and The Miracles song is 'Going to a Go-Go'; somewhere I have Stones concert footage and alternate studio takes were it is labeled 'Going To Au-Go-Go'. Lyrics from The Ramones' 'Sheena Is A Punk Rocker' include "They got their surfboards and they're headed to the discotheque a go go", no doubt grammatically influenced by the Hollywood nightclub Whisky a Go Go. Why a person would take a surfboard to a discothèque is a mystery to me. Where's Nancy Drew when you need her?

I recommend A-Go-Go and Au-Go-Go.

Jcscents would have to register both versions as domains with all of the popular .com, .net, .org, etc. suffixes and have them redirect to her/his main website. Copycats borrow a similar spelling or use a different suffix and steal business or customer's credit card information. That's why I advocate registering both spellings.

Then jcscents would send me three golden litre bottles of Vetiver. With my name engraved in that spidery French cursive script. And the optional sprayer.

Even if jcscents never returns, what a fun thread this has been to read! I like "Indulgences" as a name; it would probably have to have the word "perfumed" in front though. A friend who owns several shops in our cutesy little shopping district told me people won't go into a shop if they can't immediately tell from the name of the store or the window display what is sold there!

The Perfumed Bouquet

Parfume De Fleurs

Belle Parfumes

Magnifique Parfumes

Tre's Beau Parfumes

(I do not know french..just put some words together)



I do not like the play on words. I always cringe when I am driving and see a business named like that or something like the 'hair kuttery' and things aren't spelled correctly. I think it should be something classic and modern.
