In Case You Ever Wanted To Know What A Smurf Smells Like:

Kids like scents, of course — scratch and sniff stickers and so on — and little girls experiment with grown-up stuff like lip gloss and heels and nail polish. But what in the name of Gargamel are we doing as a society when a company gleefully sucks $22 away from parents so that a five year old can smell like apples? Such a money-grubbing markeing move. Also, can we talk about how the Smurfs live in the ultimate patriarchy; they are shroom-eating gnomes ruled by one father. PAPA SMURF IS AN OPPRESSOR.

Don't worry, if you're over 10 years old, there's a fragrance for you, too: Smurfette Blue Magic, "billed as a more high-end scent targeting women between the ages of 13 and 30." The bottle looks like a sex toy and the liquid inside smells like "oriental mandarin, pink pepper, red raspberry and peach blossom" with bottom notes of "wet leafy greens, hyacinth and transparent lilac, sheer amber, patchouli and bright wood."
