John Mayer takes swipe at perfume-peddling celebs, smells horrible while doing so




John Mayer has taken aim at the crop of celebrities who make money by bottling their own brand of perfume.



The guitarist admits he is trying to come up with ways to expand his career, including plans for a new variety series, John Mayer Has a TV Show, and by taking a side job writing posts for the website Gawker.com.

But he insists he would never try to turn a profit by selling fans his own fragrance.

He says, “I’ve always just been stupidly curious about stuff; I’m not diversifying in terms of selling anything. I’m not selling ‘John Mayer: the cologne’. If I did it would just smell like sausage and sleep. I don’t look at my fans and think, ‘Wow, they really like what I do musically. Imagine if I could get 60 more dollars out of them!’ Who out there really goes, ‘You know what, I just fuckking love perfumes. I always have since I was a kid. If I weren’t a pop singer, I’d be a perfumier…’ (sic)? At some point I may turn into an asshole, but right now I just peddle a CD for 15 dollars every two years.”




I guess he has a point.

It was only one episode.

I don't understand why he's so obsessed with being a celebrity and extra attention.

He's one of the few young people who actually has talent.
munkeycheeze 29th-Jan-2010 04:56 am (UTC)
I completely agree with this comment... I do not understand that about him at all.
falloutbi 29th-Jan-2010 05:05 am (UTC)
I think he uses it as a way to mock people who only have that going for them.
kool_aidex893 29th-Jan-2010 06:03 am (UTC)
it backfires on him, though. He's too insecure to fully mock it
carryinon23 29th-Jan-2010 07:47 am (UTC)
I believe Rosie O'Donnell called it the fame monster?

He seems like he'd be the guy at the frat party who sat around with his guitar, giving everyone a bitch face~
thelookofarebel 29th-Jan-2010 04:55 am (UTC)
exactly. he participates but refuses to be counted in something.
j_k_m 29th-Jan-2010 04:56 am (UTC)
He is so above everyone
nonbeast 29th-Jan-2010 04:58 am (UTC)
lol yep. and of course he has his guitar to get the chicks.

I'm one of those people that look at you and think you're a total wanker.

OTish, all my friends make fun of me for wearing Chanel No. 5, saying it's an old lady perfume. Imho, it's a classic fragrance, not old ladyish :(
joanshearer It's nit old ladiesh — 29th-Jan-2010 04:57 am (UTC)
do ya thang!
ex_memento 29th-Jan-2010 05:02 am (UTC)
Your friends are dumb, it's definitely a classic fragrance.
dizzydance 29th-Jan-2010 05:05 am (UTC)
i love the smell of chanel no. 5 but i could never wear it cause i associate the smell with my mom
for_serious13 29th-Jan-2010 05:30 am (UTC)
GIRL, i rock that perfume too!! its not old ladyish at all!
davetvs 29th-Jan-2010 05:54 am (UTC)
My grandmother wears Chanel No. 5.
carryinon23 29th-Jan-2010 07:48 am (UTC)
yeah my nana's addicted to it but I think it smells nice! Even though my nana scares me because she's bipolar or something...
justleilah 29th-Jan-2010 11:17 am (UTC)
It's my favourite perfume and I don't care if it makes me smell like grammas :)

Sad thing though is that you can tell it's become watered down over the years. An ex-bf's mum gave me a bottle of hers that was probably from the 70s or 80s, and it was so much richer and better quality than now.
lollapoe 29th-Jan-2010 01:00 pm (UTC)
What do they wear? I can get snobbish when it comes to perfume and once bitched at a girl who made a similar comment about No. 5 and yet enjoyed wearing "Glow" by J.Lo - girl, please.

And you should try No. 5's new version - Chanel No. 5 Eau Premiere.
highflyer8 29th-Jan-2010 02:54 pm (UTC)
I tried it once just because I thought it would be classy and liked the idea of it but then I wore it and I felt like I smelled like an old lady.

BUT. If it smells great on you and you love it, rock it girl.
danne_gerous 29th-Jan-2010 07:30 pm (UTC)
My mom wears Chanel No. 5 and I love it on her. She's worn it so long that it's kind of permeated her clothes and even after washing them, they still faintly smell like "her scent".

I wear Nanette Lepore and when people compliment me and ask what I'm wearing, I just get "Huh? What's that?"
divaty 29th-Jan-2010 04:56 am (UTC)
I'm watching Storytellers now.
summerheart__ 29th-Jan-2010 05:00 am (UTC)
same, and it wasn't long enough!!
deja_vu822 29th-Jan-2010 05:29 am (UTC)
Yeah, I watched too. I think Storytellers is supposed to be your biggest hits or whatever, but I wish he'd done different songs. His singles are always the worst.
ex_lovergir 29th-Jan-2010 04:56 am (UTC)
I love celeb perfumes, just don't ever pay full price for them lol. I own Britney, Mariah, Kimora, JLO, Danielle Steel and Sarah Jessica Parker.

do you casually peruse the fragrance department and slip them into your big black purse?
babysinclair 29th-Jan-2010 05:20 am (UTC)
Probs goes to Rainbow/Dots and gets the knockoffs.
3mcoopandmaxie 29th-Jan-2010 04:56 am (UTC)
Britney has great perfumes
