Anna Sui - Dolly Girl
Dolly Girl by Anna Sui is fresh, young, immature, and innocent without the burden of depth, and without the sickening sweet flavours that Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson launches to the younger market. It was my own pre-adulthood favourite. So when I saw piles and piles of it stacked up and untouched in the Myer bargain bin during its stocktake sale, I was aghast and saddened that my childhood sweetie has been neglected by the masses.
This might explain why there has already been two spin-offs from the original Dolly Girl fragrance; both of which are practically the same to the nose, only in slightly altered bottles.
The first came out a couple of years ago, tastelessly named "Ooh La Love". The bottle was attractive enough though, the doll face had pretty little curls framing it in a clean, crisp white bottle. The second which came out not long ago was a shocker, the 'exclusive' "On the Beach" is a freak blue version of the original Dolly Girl bottle with two pink patches on top of the doll face's head as a vain attempt to pass for sunnies. The bottle looks like some possessed demon from hell.
Ooh La Love
On the Beach
The source of my distaste for these newbies (Anna Sui not being the only one inclined to this practice) probably stem from the resentment that I'm becoming an old hag and too tired to keep up with every minor alteration of an old favourite. Or maybe it's just that these increasingly obvious gimmicks which are getting less subtle day by day. But even to the young and gullible teen girl market, launching the same perfume in different outfits out like Matel launches its Barbie range is slightly patronizing, but only slightly.
