It’s a natural progression.

I’m not a big fragrance guy. No, I don’t stink but generally speaking, I’m not into fragrances, for men or women. Maybe it’s the ads. Some of them are a little over the top. As are the names for some scents. To me, names like “Compulsion” and “Obsession” indicate something is not quite right.

Well, I want to take that trend to the next level and introduce a scent called, “Mentally Unstable.”

Apparently, some people find that sort of thing attractive. Maybe even exciting. Many many, years ago Fats Domino was affected by this phenomenon and expressed in his song, “Kansas City.” Fats desperately wanted to get to Kansas City. Why did Fats want to get to Kansas City? Here’s the answer as confirmed in the lyrics from the song, Kansas City:

They got some crazy little women
There and I’m gonna get me one

Wow. I really have to wonder about Fats’ judgement. If “crazy” is what you are looking for in your partner, regardless of if you are a man or a woman, you’re looking for trouble. You are actually putting yourself in line to be on an episode of “Cops.”

Natalie Portman of the Dior fragrance commercials got my attention
