Ivanka Trump’s sad perfume is now the #1 scent on Amazon, because of course

Donald Trump Meets With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu At The White House

Last week, we discussed how Ivanka Trump’s clothing/jewelry/shoe/accessories lines have been dumped by hundreds of stores. In the short time Ivanka’s orange, fascist father has been in office, the #GrabYourWallet campaign has been surprisingly effective. By this month, Nordstrom, Belk, Neiman Marcus, Sears, Burlington, TJ Maxx and Marshalls have all dumped Ivanka’s line or deeply discounted the products. The official excuse has mostly been “no one is buying, this is a corporate-not-political decision,” which may even be true. Meaning, the #GrabYourWallet campaign was effective and stores won’t carry a line which is being boycotted by thousands (if not millions) of women. But there’s bad news too. Because the Alt-Right loves to feel martyred, they believe Ivanka is being bullied by mean liberals, as opposed to “this is how capitalism works, dumbasses.” So the Alt-Right has been flocking to… Amazon? To buy Ivanka’s perfume.

Stores like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and T.J. Maxx are all distancing themselves from the Ivanka Trump brand name, but over on Amazon, her popularity is skyrocketing. Her perfume is currently the site’s top-selling women’s fragrance, and reviewers are making it clear they’re flocking to the scent to support the first daughter in light of calls to boycott her line.

“I bought this perfume in support of Ivanka Trump,” one review reads. “I had no idea how it smelled. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and I LOVE it!!” Another reads, “I have purchased & will continue to purchase Ivanka Trump items … The perk of this scent is that it’s a liberal repellent as well!!!! Yay!!!!” And one user asks, “Does this perfume contain any trace of the exquisite scent of liberal tears? Thanks!”

A 3.4-ounce bottle of the perfume sells for $36, which means those who want to #BuyIvanka can purchase it without putting an enormous dent in their wallets. There’s also a $15 roller-ball option, which is currently the third-top-selling women’s scent.

Ivanka has said she doesn’t want to “politicize” her brand, and she reportedly got mad at Kellyanne Conway for pulling her clothing line into the partisan fray. But shoppers don’t see it that way; liberals and conservatives are engaged in a kind of monetary tug-of-war over her sensible sheaths and shoes. While Trump skeptics are celebrating Nordstrom’s decision, supporters are busy closing their accounts and buying “all kinds of stuff” at places like Dillard’s, which still carries the line.

[From NY Mag]

Since I enjoy perfume and writing about perfume, I was curious about the actual smell of this. The actual perfume is called “Ivanka Trump by Ivanka Trump” because I guess Estee Lauder might have already trademarked Nazi Butthurt. The perfume is described this way: “bergamot, pepper, apple, pineapple, jasmine, peach blossom, rose cedarwood, patchouli, amber, vanilla.” Yikes. Sounds WAY too heavy. Then again, I love my J.Lo Glow and if I want something heavier, I go with Ralph Lauren’s Safari (it’s a great winter fragrance). My absolutely favorite is Estee Lauder’s Private Collection Gardenia Tuberose. What were we talking about? Oh, yeah. Well, I’m glad Ivanka found some way to “win” or succeed or whatever. And hey, if the Alt-Right thinks they’re sticking it to us, who cares? They’re the ones cloaking themselves in patchouli sadness and vanilla fascism.

Oh, and this happened last week but I forgot (“forgot”) to post this photo. Ivanka sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office. NOPE.

    YUCK. The sad thing is a commenter on a related news article wrote that her family didn’t have much to spend but were using what disposable income they had to purchase her $15 perfume to support Ivanka and her daddy. Sweetie, no.

    • eggyweggs says:

      ^ This has echoes of the televangelists of the 1980s. Little old ladies would send their few spare dollars to these TV preachers who, in turn, lived the high life. These people really believe 45 is their savior and that his family are preaching the good word. Now I feel really sad for them and angry with them for being so easily suckered.

      • TheOtherOne says:

        ITA. There is an American commercial that is currently running (how I am not sure) that is selling miracle water that promises financial prosperity. I looked up the reverend in the commercial and he has a long legal history of scamming people. But people will believe what they want regardless of contradicting evidence. Sad! (Sorry I had to 😀)

      • eggyweggs says:

        Uuuuuugh. Big-league sad. 🙁

      • Shambles says:

        Stories like this make me so grateful for my high school lit teacher, who had us watch commercials and then asked us to point out all the logical fallacies they contained.

      • JustJen says:

        YESSSS!!! I live a few short miles (as in 2.5) from the Cathedral of Tomorrow, aka Ernest Angley’s dungeon of doom. When I read this, the first thing I thought of was televangelists and their shady moves. And I make a distinct “pffffft” sound every time I see Rex’ erection/ the tower that Rex Humbard tried to build with a restaurant on top to rival the Space Needle, using the last pennies of his devoted followers, obvs.

      • Harryg says:

        Yes, eggyweggs!

    • Christin says:

      That supports my initial reaction. People with little discretionary income basically throwing money away to support a wealthy heiress. Sad! (Seriously, it’s sad they have been so deluded.)

      The big story remains how Daddy Dearest may be profiting from his new job.

    • Megan says:

      I don’t use perfume because it is full of toxic chemicals. But it is the perfect symbol for an administration that is full of toxic rhetoric and just plain stinks.

    • Tate says:

      That is pathetic.

      • mary mary says:

        Ivanka’s shoes are for sale on Amazon. Some of the one star funny political comments are being quickly removed.

        “Beware….these shoes are Made in China and always lean to the right”

        “The shoes instantly insulted my wife and built a wall around the other shoes!”

        “Made in China by children! Make America free again by not purchasing!”

        “The shoes restrict one’s mobility in fleeing p***y grabbers”

      • Sarah says:

        Time to go write a review of Ivanka’s perfume!!

      • mary mary says:

        Political reviews of Ivanka’s Perfume:
        Rating 3 stars: Pretty good. I use it to clean spark plugs and a bird cage.
        Rating 1 Star: Stinks BIGLY
        Rating 1 star: You will smell like bad Karma
        Rating 1 Star: smell overwhelms common sense This disguises the smell of the 1% defecating on the rest of us
        Rating 1 Star: . Perfect! My husband has been getting too handsy with me lately so I bought some of this for my daughter. Problem solved!

    • lucy2 says:

      That makes me really sad.
      I can’t ever get on board with people who voted for him, due to all the racism, bigotry, sexism, etc, etc, etc, but I do understand the impulse to try an outsider when you’ve been struggling, in the hopes that they will change things. The sad part is, Trump has no intention of doing anything to help those people, or anyone but himself. He’s going to let them down, no matter what they convince themselves.

      Also, if Ivanka doesn’t want to politicize her brand, she should GTFO out of the White House.

    • mary mary says:

      There is a Donald Trump deodorant and Eau De Toilette selling on line. https://www.fragrancenet.com/cologne/donald-trump/donald-trump-empire/deodorant#285383

  2. Alix says:

    “Nazi butthurt” — love it.

    Three-plus ounces for $36? Why don’t they just sell it by the gallon, through a pump at a gas station?

    That Oval Office photo offends me deeply. I hate this family with a passion.

    • LinaLamont says:

      “That Oval Office photo offends me deeply.”

      +1 million, billion, trillion, gazillion

    • Original T.C. says:

      Hate this family of grifters. Ivanka tries to play the innocent, non-political image while in the background she is thick as thieves with her Daddy. Her husband is shady as hell playing mob boss behind the scenes to control the media.

      Jared Kushner Delivers Critique of CNN to Time Warner Executive

      Kushner denounced CNN’s reporting on his father-in-law to Gary Ginsberg, an executive vice president at Time Warner (the parent company to CNN), during a recent White House meeting, according to a report by The Wall Street Journal. The report also claimed that Kushner has been voicing his displeasure behind-the-scenes to other executives at Time Warner, most notably CNN Worldwide President Jeff Zucker

      • holly hobby says:

        Jared Kushner is a jerk. I think he tried to influence Time Warner because they have something up for govt review and he hinted that the admin can hold it up. Not sure what it was but this whole thing is sketchy.

        I bet his family is embarrassed by him.

    • Ripley says:

      I thought ‘Nazi Butthurt’ was trademarked by Channel… too soon?

    • MrsBadBob says:

      That photo is the worst. Politicize your brand much, Ivanka? And the obvious implication that only nepotism, youth and blond beauty gets you a seat at that desk to be patronized by two powerful white men. I don’t have enough middle fingers. Also, I have no forgiveness for these brainless, witless fools buying her perfume. I don’t give a damn what their excuse is, anyone stupid enough to think buying her products is a political statement to liberals can kiss my liberal ass, be my guest, flush your money away, and douse yourself in her foul, cheap perfume. As a liberal, I find it hilarious, the scent of “liberal tears”, huh? In your dreams, honey, mostly, it’s the glorious scent of profit at the expense of consumers.

      • dj says:

        Ivanka in the Oval Office is Donald’s “long con.” He saw how many ppl wanted Hilary (a woman) in the office. I could see it in his eyes he wants Ivanka to be the first woman President. Remember, you heard it hear on Celebitchy first! I am telling you politics is his long con. He wants us all to get used to the idea of Ivanka in the WH. Rant over!

    • LoveIsBlynd says:

      I loathe every photo…I’m only relating to this because I have indigestion today. Like attracts like.

  3. Ashamed 2 b a Fl girl says:

    First guffaw of the day, at “Nazi Butthurt”. OMG!!!

  4. huh says:

    Smug bitch

  5. sarri says:

    #fakenews – it’s that simple

  6. Sasha says:

    I am sure Trump has named her as next in line for the throne.

  7. MunichGirl says:

    Just go to Amazon, read the reviews, more than 50% of those reviews are unfavorable reviews yet it shows 5 stars; it’s bs.

    https://www.amazon.com/Ivanka-Trump-Parfum-Spray-Women/dp/B00CJI9250/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1487596166&sr=8-1&keywords=ivanka%2Btrump%2Bperfume&th=1

    • MelB says:

      I noticed that too.

    • bleu_moon says:

      They make it difficult to read the one star reviews too. On mobile I had to go to “filters,” uncheck “verified purchases” and select “critical reviews” to see them. As of now it’s up to 53% one star reviews but 5 stars overall.

    • Esmom says:

      I think the filters were added after trolls were able to dominate the reviews. A couple years ago there was a kids’ book for sale about “mommy and daddy concealed carry” and it was inundated with hilarious fake reviews.

      It was a really subversive and effective way to troll something gross and despicable and it’s too bad we can’t do that with her sh^tty perfume.

      • bleu_moon says:

        Oh, it’s still getting trolled! The deplorables are getting huffy and posting “I bet it smells better than you! Take a bath! Harhar!” in the comments.

    • Belle Epoch says:

      WHAT does Amazon think it is doing with the ratings? 53% negative is not a #1 bestseller. I finally was able to access the 1 star reviews and the ones I read were not political. They said it smells like Lysol or cat urine, and several people got bad rashes. I’m sure it’s made in Chy-na with pure Yangtze River water.

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      I don’t know exactly how these #1 best sellers on Amazon are calculated but I would think that it’s not that hard to make a perfume #1 for a little while? How many people buy perfume on Amazon? I think it’s something like sales volume in a specific period.

      Man, I love perfume. But that sounds overwhelming. I’m currently dreaming about Tom Ford Santal Blush. The price tag though. It’s enough to make me break out in hives.

      • Esmom says:

        I think you’re right, it is sales volume. Those #1 best sellers are constantly changing.

      • littlemissnaughty says:

        The no. 2 best seller in beauty is Gilette razor blades. No. 4 is Colgate. Come on now.

        Oh my god you guys, Trump has a perfume called “Success”. And one called “Empire”!!! Which I honestly misread as “Emperor”. WTF?

    • lucy2 says:

      The review/rating metrics are all messed up because people from both sides are writing reviews or rating it without purchasing it.
      It’s getting a boost in sales right now, but that is not sustainable, and I suspect it will drop of and go the way of her clothing line deals.

    • Really? says:

      On the plus side, her sales can fund Amazon’s lawsuits against the Administration. As the Administration has suggested that it will narrowly tailor their “Muslim ban” in a future order, Bezos can put these perfume sales in a litigation coffer.

    • Crumpet says:

      That is weird.

  8. Digital Unicorn (aKa Betti) says:

    I LOVE perfume too. My faves at the moment are Bergamot by Roja and Neroli Portifino by the yummy Tom Ford – his perfumes r amazing. I love anything that has sandalwood in it, which is my scent.

    Anyway, her fathers shilling clearly helped. Not surprised by the photo, not long before he’s allowing his golfing buds to pay for a selfie at the desk.

    • MellyMel says:

      Yes to the Tom Ford!! All his scents are so good!

    • detritus says:

      Oh that Tom Ford sound interesting. How do you pick new scents? I’ve been moving away from physical stores, but often Sephora, or whoever, don’t have samples in the scent i want to try. What do you ladies do?

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        I usually go to the counters in the department stores – they will almost always have testers on display.

      • The Hench says:

        Hi, I don’t know which country you are in but Jo Malone is great for picking scents. The shop usually has about 25 different colognes you can try and many of them are specifically designed to be blended together. I think you can also get your own mixture made up there if you want. I’ll double check that though. *charges off to Google*

        Edit: And I’m back. Here you go: http://www.jomalone.co.uk/products/3805/fragrance-combiningtm

    • Betsy says:

      Tom Ford is my insta-migraine. Better than the Aerin Lauder ones, all of which save Rose de Grasse, turn poopy on me.

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      Didn’t read you comment before I commented above but YES Tom Ford. And Jo Malone. And Hermés. I’m also a huge fan of sandalwood, it just turns into something yummy on me. Floral scents are not my thing. I also sometimes turn to men’s scents or at least unisex ones. Except when it comes to Jo Malone. Blackberry and Bay is delicious for summer.

      @detritus: I get on people’s nerves whenever I smell someone and like it. LOL I ask around, basically. Recommendations are a great way to find something new. And I smell 2-3 scents randomly whenever I’m in a department store, excluding the brands I know don’t work for me (Dior, Chanel, just to name two). Dedicated perfume brands are best I think.

  9. original kay says:

    I love perfume! I sometimes wear Acqua di gio, but I am currently out. My go to is still Obsession in the winter and Eternity in the summer.
    I’m a CK girl since the 90’s.

    • L84Tea says:

      Eternity was my jam in high school! <—–90's teenager

    • AnnaKist says:

      Ordinal Kay, I was given CK’s Eternity (the blue one) and Obsession for Christmas. I’d never tried Obsession before, but I love it, and I agree it’s a lovely Winter scent. Today I had to have a long t of blood tests, and sprayed the Eternity on after my shower. When I got to Dracula’s Den, the two phlebotomists both asked what perfume I was wearing. We are nearing the end of Summer here, and this perfume is perfect for hot weather. They only CK perfume I don’t like is Contradiction – it’s filthy.

      Ms trump has a very slappable, smug face, and what’s with 45’s hair? I mean, yeah, we all know how sad and comical it, but is he no longer dying it?

      • Lady D says:

        The hospitals and medical centers around here have banned perfume, cologne and other scents from the buildings. Being highly allergic to perfume, the ban is heaven sent (no pun intended).

      • AnnaKist says:

        Rory, I didn’t proofread before posting.

        Lady D, I completely understand this move. My sister is ultra-sensitive to most perfumes, and can no longer use scented soaps, body wash, creams, hair sprays, most perfumes etc.

      • lucy2 says:

        I am too, Lady D – I can’t use any of that stuff myself, and can’t be around people who wear too much (and most seem to wear WAY too much). I get a sore throat and wicked sinus headaches. I passed a guy in a store the other day, and he had on so much stinky cologne I truly almost gagged.

        I can’t imagine buying perfume online without smelling it first.

      • Christin says:

        It is in our workplace dress code to avoid heavy perfumes, lotions, etc. I don’t wear perfumes anymore due to my own increased sensitivity, plus being around a family member with lung issues who cannot tolerate them.

      • Shark Bait says:

        I get very bad headaches and can become nauseous from perfumes and colognes. I always feel bad and would never tell someone their perfume is bothering me, but thankfully I do mostly freelance home work now so it’s not a big problem anymore. I used to work with someone who wore essential oils all the time and they were very, very strong and her boss told her to tone it down because she smelled like a wet mop. She went to HR, it was a nightmare!

    • Adrien says:

      Man, Gio brings back late nineties memories. Teenage me couldn’t even afford to buy the sample set so I tore out those Armani scent strips from fashion mags and rub it all over my neck and wrists.

    • milla says:

      loved Ck one.

      i use various perfumes, but Roma is my fave. however, i never buy celebs’ perfumes, since i believe that certain things should be made by certain people and represented by houses behind them.

      I love Ford, Givenchy, Chloe, YSL,… the classics.

      • Beth says:

        CK one has been my favorite forever. My bottle was almost empty, bought another yesterday. Once in a while I use CK beauty. Celebrity perfumes are terrible. No matter if Ivankas is the best I’d never support their familys bank account. Never smelled it, but the description doesn’t sound pretty

  10. TyrantDestroyed says:

    Actually I think as amusing that her brand is being politicized. Ivanka created her brand with a clear idea of the consumer’s profile she wanted it to be represented. The fact that a buch of Trump followers are not buying her escense and articles and actually wearing them is just, hilarious.

    • chrissy says:

      Same here! I’m literally cracking up that these folks–working class and not exactly worldly–will now be the face of the Trump product consumer. Can’t imagine they were the “luxury” line’s target audience.

    • GreenTurtle says:

      I know! I wish he’d never run, because I think Ivanka’s (ghost designer’s) clothes are really cute. The perfume sounds foul, though, based on the description.

  11. Veronica says:

    I’m actually not a huge perfume person, but I own a ton because I work part time at Victoria Secret, so I’m constantly getting them for free lol. I’m more a fan of cologne-type scents than what is typically offered to women.

  12. MellyMel says:

    Yeah I’ll stick to my Tom Ford and Tocca Florence aka liberal tears. *rolls eyes* I also feel sick to my stomach looking at that Oval Office photo. It just seems disrespectful.

  13. RussianBlueCat says:

    I have a feeling Ivanka will run for public office in a few years. She and her husband are getting to know the Washington power players now. Never too earlier to get support. That couple is ambitious and power hungry

    • lucy2 says:

      It depends – if Trump goes down hard, they won’t be able to come back from it, especially with both of them being so involved now.

  14. Beth says:

    When I read about this the other day, I laughed at how stupid trump supporters are. Buying perfume that they never smelled? Wasting their money. Putting more money in her billionaire pocket. Why? She’s not the “president” they all love. Anything to throw stones at us Democrats who see what a joke Republicans are

    • AnnaKist says:

      Oh, but Beth, don’t you realise how beautiful, elegant, well-spoken, poised, intelligent, kind and simply wonderful Ivanka is? Why, she’s the perfect First Lady, even stepping in to support Daddy and ihelp out the saintly mother, Melanie, who’s main focus for now is her young son. Well, she’s just perfection on beautiful legs. *gag*

  15. Psu Doh Nihm says:

    Ugh. Perfumes give me the worst headache. Although when I could wear them I liked Chloe, Michael Kors and this super hard to find one called Byblos. It smells like an Egyptian Rose. So nice.

    Anyway now I just stick to essential oils because they are least likely to trigger a migraine.

    • Original T.C. says:

      I switched to essentially oils too. I put drops into my body lotions and a drop behind both ears. Works perfectly for me. Good aromatherapy too.

    • bleu_moon says:

      I tried essential oils, but my husband told me I smelled like a bowl of pasta. Not the reaction I was hoping for.

      • Original T.C. says:

        Buy a quality brand like Aura Cacia Essential oils. It costs a few dollars more but worth the price. Then remember a little goes a long way! 8 drops is all you need to put in 16 Oz. Lotion or hair spray or whatever.

        Start with something light smelling like lavender. If you go to a good health store, you can get sample strips of each scent to try out.

      • Shark Bait says:

        An old coworker was told by her boss she smelled like a wet mop! She got so mad and went to HR. I usually get migraines from perfumes, but the oils didn’t bother me too much.

      • The Rickest Rick says:

        wait, like smelling like pasta is a bad thing?!! If my fella had a cologne that smelled like chicken bacon carbonara I would be all over him all the time!

    • Mel says:

      “and this super hard to find one called Byblos”

      I have Byblos, from cca 1993. Never wore it much – it just wasn’t “me” – but at the time I was fascinated by how TRULY “aquatic” the scent was.
      I love perfume and have been a serious collector since age 14. Alas, most of my old favourites – actually, MOST perfumes, period – have been reformulated in the 1990s, thanks to new EU regulation, so I don’t even bother buying them anymore unless I can find unopened vintage editions.

  16. Lynnie says:

    Trudeaus’s body language in that photo is interesting to say the least. And the whole tweet is very superficial and tokenist, but what else is new. Ivanka hasn’t ridden her dad’s coattails this long by being revolutionary.

    I want to get more into perfume, but I honestly don’t know where to start. I use my mom’s No. 5, but I want something more me ya know. Anyone know of any good vanilla-y scents out there that aren’t too heavy/musty?

    • detritus says:

      They are so happy, and Trudeau looks so forced. He’s had a long day at this point, his niceness is wearing out.
      I don’t blame Ivanka for looking at him like that though, in the other pic, if I had to be around him all day I’m sure they would have pictures with drool or me twirling my hair looking at him like he’s chocolate cake.

    • Betsy says:

      Perfumes the Guide by Turin and Sanchez

  17. Adrien says:

    Her line is selling well in Japan. Sigh!
    Psst. My Mom loves Paris Hilton’s perfume. Somebody gave it to her as a Christmas gift (a prank or re-gifted) and it was her fave scent since. She doesn’t even bother re-bottling it to preserve her dignity but oh well, if it makes her happy. In fairness, it smells really nice.

    • detritus says:

      I feel like this about Brittney Spears Fantasy, except I have slightly more shame and am severely embarrassed if anyone asks me what the scent is.

    • Aren says:

      I loved both Paris Hilton’s and Britney’s perfume, but because I’m not a fan of either one I ended up getting Pink Sugar and it’s delicious!

    • Beth says:

      My sister was just saying yesterday that she loves Paris Hiltons perfume, but she keeps the bottle hidden in case someone is over. She said it’s embassing, but it’s her favorite

  18. shannon says:

    Yup, they are just that dumb. That’s cool. I wear Vanilla Fields almost exclusively. It’s inexpensive and I get lots of compliments on it. I do like obsession for winter though. I hope that cheesy perfume comforts them when Trump destroys their health insurance.

  19. lyla says:

    Sad.

    I get bored of perfume too quickly. I’ve never finished a bottle. The only one i like is Tom Ford Neroli.

  20. Slowsnow says:

    Check the gutters behind her house, I bet there’s a river of Ivanka by Ivanka running down there.
    A poor underpaid assistant is writing the marvellous reviews.

    • MrsBadBob says:

      Yeah, I have a strong suspicion some of this is daddy buying up bulk quantities and handing them out to everyone who works for him.

  21. Esmom says:

    That photo of her staring lustfully at Justin never gets old. LMAO!

    If she’s doing a good business on Amazon, I wonder if the knockoff business is also increasing. This is a problem I’ve come to have lately on Amazon — you have to be really careful now with some sellers because they will send you fakes.

  22. jerkface says:

    Oooh wee them done bought them some fancy toilet water from the Amazons. So exotic and patriotic at the same time. Sweet baby jesus in the manger Merica is getting great.

  23. teacakes says:

    Ugh. This spurious blonde rodent and her “not politicised” rubbish needs to go down in ignominy along with her whole scum family.

    My favourite perfume right now is Penhaligon’s Ostara but I’m not looking forward to finishing the bottle since it’s been discontinued. It smells like sunshine, I haven’t found anything quite like it.

    • detritus says:

      I have a perfume from Lush, called sunshine. The downside is that it has very little staying power, but it smells like happiness and sunshine when it’s there. I’m sad to hear Ostara is discontinued, I would have loved to try it.

      • teacakes says:

        @detritus – your Lush perfume sounds lovely, I probably need to buckle up and brave the whiff of the Lush store next time I want sunshine smells!

        Ostara is a yellow flower (daffodil/narcissus, in this case). It’s an odd duck, but I love how it smells warm and creamy at once, with a little green at the opening – and without being spicy!

  24. robyn says:

    It stinks that her perfume is number one apparently. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump rigged it that way somehow. He might have bought a bunch himself and is storing it in the basement.

    That phony “woman at the seat at the table” line is sickening when a woman who dedicated her adult life to public service was vilified and denied a seat at the table.

    it is now the go-to stance of sales hungry people. that girl who wore the Make America Great Again dress to the Grammys sold more units in that Grammy week than Adele, Beyonce, or any other big winners or performers that night.

    actually sold more than her lifetime sales combined.
    so appealing to the lowest denominator is the way to go. unfortunately these sheep didn’t know that they were being fleeced by opportunists and their only fate was to be left out in the cold.

    because let’s face it, will the Trumps be grateful? no. the first sign of trouble their supporters will be the first one thrown under the rolling bus.

    see Fox News now INCENSED! that Trump didn’t seem to acknowledge them helping him win the whole thing. suddenly nudged over for Breitbart. that must’ve hurt Fox a lot!

    I work for Belk. We carried some of her clothing line but it just didn’t sell. Most stores were dropping her line before Trump won the election. Our store has gotten a few nasty letters but most people just didn’t care enough to buy them (though I have to say, they were well made.) She’s not a designer.

    On a side note, I’m surprised perfume is still so popular. It makes me gag and sneeze being around anyone wearing it. To buy perfume because you think it will hurt liberals is just sad and throwing money at millionaires….moronic.

    • Betsy says:

      Many perfumes lately have a terrible sneezy note. I don’t know what it is, but it’s everywhere.

      And lots of perfumes seem aggressively bad.

      • Don't kill me I'm French says:

        The worst is Chanel n5. Sorry but it smell between the cat piss and tainted dust

      • Mel says:

        “The worst is Chanel n5.”

        Haha, agree 100 %! I could write an essay on the many ways I hate it. (I think many people buy it simply because of the relentless marketing and hype.)
        Chanel nro. 19, on the other hand, is quite nice. Not my favourite, but quite nice.

    • Christin says:

      Thanks for the backstory. Given their mostly Southern footprint, I wondered if they received any negative feedback. As a frequent Belk shopper, I commend them for sticking to a good business decision.

    • MrsBadBob says:

      Apparently perfume is an easy way to make money, that’s why all the celebs have successful perfumes, I guess it’s cheap to make, and there’s a huge mark-up, so lots of profit to be had.

  27. Betsy says:

    Pretty sure Mrs. Lauder would not have cared for the suggestion she had anything to do with the Nazis.

  28. Shambles says:

    “bergamot, pepper, apple, pineapple, jasmine, peach blossom, rose cedarwood, patchouli, amber, vanilla.”

    EW. I worked at Bath and Body Works for 3 long years, and I spent a lot of time learning about fragrance notes. These sound heinous. Not only are most of them extremely heavy as individual notes, but pineapple and bergamot? Amber and peach blossom? None of these sound like they would blend well together, at all. I’m getting a headache just imagining it. I guess we know what nepotism and shame smell like.

    • yep says:

      I can kinda see pineapple and bergamot. Everything else sounds like thick soup. Patchouli AND & vanilla AND sandalwood? Each of these alone is too much.

  29. Eric says:

    I’m all for having the deplorables waste their money on this odor Ivanka the Terrible is pushing. When the ACA gets ripped up and they have no healthcare coverage, they can disinfect their non-existent coal factory wounds with it because their water supplies are tainted with sludge the WH administration just allowed the industry to dump.
    Make America Die Faster!

    • Christin says:

      They don’t seem to understand that in the history of coal mining, the owners / companies are the ones who always win.

      That EO last week was an example. Yet those who desperately want mines to magically open or expand probably think it’s something that will benefit them.

  30. Don't kill me I'm French says:

    I LOVE perfumes. Actually I am between YSL’s Mon Paris and Chanel’s Chance ( tender moment).Without forgetting Guerlain’s La Petite Robe Noire( eau de toilette) .It is a best seller in France
    Some years ago, my fav was CK’s Eternity and Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle .

  31. Disco Dancer says:

    Does her perfume also smell of Jared’s sperm after it’s been inside a guy’s butthole? Because my gaydar pings whenever I look at Jared…

  32. Tough Cookie says:

    I (kiddingly) told my mom (who is in her 80s) I’d get her some Ivanka perfume for Mother’s Day. She said “Please, no. I smelled it once at the mall. It smells like PEE.” ROFL, I love my mom.

    • MrsBadBob says:

      I love your Mom too, that’s an awesome comment from one of the “old guard” as we affectionately refer to our retired lions or lionesses.

    • Mel says:

      It’s a funny anecdote, of course. 😉
      But keep in mind that is the olfactory impression that quite a few perfumes can give to some people. Specifically, I remember someone saying precisely that about “Paloma Picasso” (which I LOVED, at least before the reformulation) and about Cacharel’s “Loulou” (which I loathed and still do).

  33. Machiamellie says:

    “The actual perfume is called “Ivanka Trump by Ivanka Trump” because I guess Estee Lauder might have already trademarked Nazi Butthurt.”

    Aaaaaand dead.

  34. Insomniac says:

    I wish the Deplorables would rally around the truly needy in this society half as quickly as they’ll run to throw money at a woman who’s already a millionaire.

  35. Tiny Martian says:

    Well, in a country where the Cheesecake Factory is rated as the most popular restaurant, I guess this really comes as no surprise. Likely it’s the same voters who buy Ivanka’s cheeto-scented perfume.

  36. JRenee says:

    I love Lauder’s Private Garden scent!

    If we can show our power by refusing to buy, then I guess they can do the opposite. I can’t imagine all of those scents together, but even if it smelled like sunshine and bliss I wouldn’t wear it.

    These people are using the WH as only the entitled do. It incenses me that people who only care for their own interests, now are in the WH and their supporters are never going to get it…

  37. Jennifer says:

    I’m glad I don’t base my life’s worth on worrying about whether or not someone’s feelings are hurt (ie liberal tears, etc). Otherwise, I would just be another supporter of Agent Orange.

  38. Erica_V says:

    So I came here to share my perfume but I couldn’t remember the exact name of it so I looked it up and now I’m in full on panic mode because it was discontinued!!!!!!

    Beauty by Kate Spade – I’m going to have to cherish my remaining bottle!

    Damn you Ivanka for ruining my day by talking about your stupid perfume and making me discover mine is gone.

    ETA : a recommended replacement is the same one Kaiser wears! Estee Lauder’s Private Collection Gardenia Tuberose. CB writers – they’re just like us!

  39. Maud says:

    Here goes. I might be your only reader who voted for Trump. I am a woman of color, daughter of immigrants who happens to think he can jumpstart the economy. He’s not someone I admire, but he will get reelected if people continue to pile on his family. There’s a lot of folks in fly over country who dig in their heels when Melania or ivanka are under attack.

    • Millie says:

      As a fellow woman of colour, I have to say that the great Frantz Fanon would have some choice words for you. And he should know he went through the decolonization process, thick in the middle of it way back when. You can not fight white supremacy or the colonial world with white supremacy. Voting against your interests only ensures that you will never be free.

    • Disco Dancer says:

      How cute Maud that you are trying to blame people who hate the grifting that his family is shamelessly doing, for Trump getting re-elected?

      What getting Buyers remorse now for voting for this dictotator wannabe? So you wave the whole jump starting the economy flag? Pray tell Maud, what are Trump’s specific policies for jumpstarting the US economy, which is already operating at near full employment? And don’t bring up trashy slogans like “crooked Hilary”, “Kenyan Obummers” and “drain the swamp” here. I’m talking actual policy with numbers to back it up.

      If he gets re-elected, it’ll be because of Russian interference again and the out dated electoral college vote system (which Trump himself was against, until he won due to this flawed system). He would also get reelected because of people like you in flyover states,who have an inferiority complex
      Of living in flyover states and elect this fascist, misogynist demagogue to give a F U to the “coastal elites”- you know the very states that make America the world superpower that it is.

    • Lisa says:

      Thank you! I voted for him too. Disregard the overtime snark. Don’t let these twats steal your energy. This perfume is excellent, very spicey and sexy. I was shocked how awesome it is, I bought it to support Ivanka, but I would rebuy this in a second.

  40. Mel says:

    Maybe her perfume smells nice, who knows (although the fruity notes + vanilla don’t sound like “me”). I’d like to smell it out of pure collector’s curiosity. Most likely, though, it smells like the average “celebrity perfume” – because, amazingly enough, for some reason those scents all smell strangely alike and “cheapo” with almost no exception.

  41. Mel says:

    Oh, by the way… On the FragranceNet it says it is called “Ivanka Trump”, by DONALD Trump.
    And it’s sold out.

    Its very anti semetic to say nazi butthurt…shes jewish

  43. Lisa says:

    It’s excellent perfume. You people need to grab yourselves by the pussy because you all sound like giant twats.
