From the world of
international perfumery. This word is used to describe perfumes which remind one of the sort of scented body oils one typically finds for sale at a
head shop. Which is to say: potent, dark, synthetic, somewhat inelegant and indelicate, or blended to have a cloying, stale or lurid heaviness.
Perfumista #1: Have
you tried that new perfume called DUNGEON?
Perfumista #2: Yes... it's
really not my style. Too headshoppy. I prefer
fragrances which are light, fresh and natural.
