I once had a decant of this and it surprised just how good it was.

It was created by Christopher Brosius of CB I hate Perfume.

I wonder if you can buy it at Jenners http://www.jenners.com

Sounds very interesting... I'd love to give it a go.

I never thought there'd be a fragrance name that could possibly out-do FCUK, but CUMMING just might fill the bill.

I saw the commercial linked to on NowSmellThis blog and it is awesome.

Call me a prude, or whatever else you wish, but I think the name is ridiculous. The fact that it *IS* his last name and that he's just captializing on it to make a few bucks is downright tasteless in my books.

If he truly had fragrance at heart in this project he would have simply called it Alan Cumming.

Humorous it is not.

ooooooooooh!! he is very nice guy , we meet in London years ago,
Where is Ed?? Ed do you know this this one??

Never saw that one Cumming. Seriously though maybe we can look for it when we are on holiday next. He has starred in a few movies so I guess he is like everyone else. Cashing in while he can

I got something like a garage from it. Supposidly there are a couple more "coming" from him too. But like I said to you at first it is harsh and I wondered can this, be but it dries down very nicely!

Jeffery, are you still hatin' Alan Cumming? LOL

I like him. He's a cutie! But I don't like the fragrance. I tried it at Sephora with a friend of mine and he said, "Why would anyone want to smell like that?"

If it don't smell good, nothing else matters. And boys and girls you can quote me on that.

But I still like Allan Cumming. (hee!) So adorable.

I'm inclined to agree with Jeffery, it's a pretty dire name for a fragrance. Witty as it may be, I find FCUK Her/Him etc. to be offensive, too. I think Alan Cumming, who is a lovely bloke, should have been persuaded out of the idea by his advisors. How long can the same joke stay sharp and funny? Presumably, they must have only wanted the fragrance to stay around for a very short while.

The fragrance itself sounds appealing, though.

Never smelled the frag; but count me in as another John Cumming fan.

I thought his online commercial was FANTASTIC - it is over the top, funny - eyeshadow, rolling around on bedsheets, and all. I liked it cuz - it didn't take itself so seriously, the major sin of 99.9999% of most perfume commercials, an especially obnoxious category, IMHO.

He gets away with the juvenile Cumming double entendre, too, due to his delightfully non-pompous, irreverent attitude.

Sorry Jeffery, love you, but don't share your hostility, on this one.

Eh, is the name any worse than Mahora, or Eau du Coq? How about Poupee?

I think it's hilarious, precisely because it's just on the edge of bad taste. What prevents it from crossing over is that it's the guy's real last name. All celebrities capitalize on their name/fame to make a buck.

You just know he must have been teased mercilessly throughout life with that name.

Oprah needs to come out with a fragrance and call it "The Big O".

Sheesh! With these notes, save the money on the plane ticket and just buy Scotland in a bottle! Actually, it sounds quite interesting. I would find it more enticing to see the ads capitalize on images of all those Scottish notes than on the name.

I don't really mind his calling the fragrance simply Cumming, but the body product names -- Cumming in the Air, Cumming All Over, Cumming in a Bar -- pushed the boundaries of good taste. (Cumming Clean is kind of cute, however.)

You score points for not liking the fragrance, and the fact that you yourself are so adorable, and that you wear Kors, so I can't be mad at you for liking him. haha

I just feel that if someone is going to put out a fragrance, they should do it right and with sincere passion. Therefore, I can't relate to a fragrance called "Cumming," even though it's the last name of the guy.

In closing, I'd have full respect for the man and his desire to create a fragrance if he just told his marketing people, "Yes, it's funny, witty and all, but I'd much rather stick with Alan Cumming the Fragrance."

With this in mind, I'm wondering why the Paris Hilton line of fragrances doesn't come with a garden "hoe."

"This garden hoe. You're gift with any $35.00 Paris Hilton fragrance. Exclusively at Woolworth."

It's nice and earthy, and does smell like scotch, leather and cigars. Lasting power is poor on my skin though.
