There are so many “solid” reasons to love perfumes that come in balm form. They’re totally unique, let you truly target where you place your eau, and are thorougly pack-able and gift-able at once.

Plus, the two below are the genius concoctions of uber-fashionista Stella McCartney, and Manolo-Mama Sarah Jessica Parker.

So, we say: Take a (temporary) break from the spray and go solid. You’ll be glad you did.

The second of SJP’s fragrance lines, you can’t get more stocking-ready than this flower. A delicious blend of chocolate, lavender and musk

P. Diddy is set to launch his new men’s fragrance in December at Macy’s, an “untraditional fresh fruity woody scent” with the mouthful of a name: I Am King.

He also, apparently, has his sights set on launching his career as an big-screen Action Adventure Hero while he’s at it. This week, Diddy released a “mini-movie” on his blog promoting the fragrance, which he also declared to be his “audition tape for the next James Bond.”

Check out the extra-rich majesty for yourself:

As you can see, I Am King the “movie” has got everything you’re looking for in a fragrance-based Bond-styled mini movie: long-legged ladies, sexy international locales… a tuxedo-ed hero riding a wave runner.

The only thing missing, of course, is anything at all having to do with fragrance.

Huh.

Heads’ up: Our biggest sale of the year starts bright and early Friday morning, and you won’t even need to get out of your jammies to score huge deals. We’ve got a couple of extra-large ’servings’ of savings that we’re going to ‘roll’ out in a matter of hours. (Preview: It’s four days, it’s our biggest-whammy sale of the year, and we even give you choices of ways to save. We’re SO nice.)

As for all these maybe-not-so-subtle Thanksgiving puns (’gravy,’ ’servings,’ … even ‘roll’ above is a pun…. get it? get it?) are proudly brought to you by our puntastic (and spirited Canadian!) Director of Marketing, Alison. 

Alison’s a veritable pun-making machine, whereas we here at the Spritz are a little more… how can we put this… sensitive to these things. What makes Alison guffaw with glee pretty much just makes the Spritz groan.

However, we definitely admire her dedication to her craft.

So here, a list of rejected Thanksgiving sale puns cooked up and championed by our Marketing Maven. Genius or gratuitous? You decide.

*  Gobble up these savings or you’ll feel like a turkey!
*  Harvest these deals!
*  Touchdown! Huge Sale! 
*  This sale Plymouth ‘Rocks!’ (After this one, she unleashed a TOTALLY self-satisfied cackle. And repeated it 3 times.)
*  Horn of Plenty of Perfumes
*  A Cornucopia of Savings! 

p.s. Below, for your edification, an artists rendition of our pun artist. For the record, she looks exactly like this, except she wears way better jeans.

Looks like it’s officially “time to musk-up”: After a long wait, Sex Panther Cologne is finally available for purchase.

For those of you who may have missed it (read: haven’t seen the movie “Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy” eighty-zillion times… or even once, for that matter), the once-fictitious Sex Panther Cologne is featured prominently in the 2004 film, where it is described as smelling like, among other even Iess-charitable (and unpublishable) things, “pure gasoline.”

Sex Panther is the go-to scent for lothario field reporter Brian Fontana, who pulls it out of his considerable cologne arsenal when he’s out huntin’ for ladies.  He reports, “60% of the time it works every time.”

And now it’s available to you for the low, low price of $29.99.

Meanwhile, the boys are all abuzz over here at Perfume.com–especially our beloved Online Marketing Manager Patrick, who gave the Daily Spritz the heads’ up about the launch. (That’s extra-pumped Patrick shown below, spritzin’ it up at HQ.)

Why so excited about the launch of the new movie-star “eau?”

Patrick’s answer: “Honestly, we’d seen a significant number of people searching for Sex Panther Cologne on our site, even before it existed outside of the movies.  There’s a real demand out there for it! And I love me a satisfied consumer.”

He adds, “That, and I just gotta know what ‘the cologne equivalent of a black t-shirt with a wolf airbrushed on the front and a shark wrestling a sherman tank on the back’ smells like. You just don’t run into that everyday.”
