You know, these days, everyone’s talking about them high heel perfumes. What is that? I saw it on the shopping channel. It looked just like a shoe, a high heel shoe, but it’s perfume! I don’t get it. Why they make perfume look like a shoe?

Well, I gotta say, these young folks today, they come up with all sorts of things. This high heel perfume, it sure is a strange thing. One of my friends, she bought one. She said it smelled real nice. But it was so expensive! Why pay that much for smelly water? It’s just silly, but you know, that’s what the kids like these days.
I remember back in my day, we just used some simple smells. Maybe some flower water, you know? We didn’t need no fancy high heel perfumes. But I guess times have changed. Now you gotta have these fancy things, or you ain’t cool. Smells don’t make you cool! Good manners make you cool!
And the shape! It’s a shoe! A high heel! I used to wear high heels, but my feet hurt so bad. Now they make perfume that looks like a high heel. I don’t get it. But I guess it looks pretty. My friend, she puts it on her shelf. She says it’s a decoration. A decoration that smells! Can you imagine?
I saw some famous brands do these things. Some are like Moschino, Vivienne Westwood, and Nina Ricci. Do you know them? I don’t know. They are all too expensive. Just some water with smells, but cost a lot! It is crazy, right?
They say it’s a fancy thing. A high heel perfume, they call it. It’s supposed to be elegant. Like a lady. But I think it’s just a gimmick. A way to get your money. They put the perfume in a pretty bottle, and suddenly it’s worth a fortune. It’s all about the looks, I guess.

- You can find these high heel perfumes in fancy stores.
- They cost a lot of money.
- Some people say they smell really good.
- Some people just buy them to look at.
- It’s a new trend, I guess.
One day, I went to a big store with my granddaughter. She wanted to see these high heel perfumes. We went to the perfume section, and there they were. All different colors, all shaped like high heels. It is designed by a shoe brand or something, I don’t really know the name. Some were shiny, some were sparkly. They did look pretty, I gotta admit. But still, it’s just perfume! She wanted one, but I said no. Too much money!
I tried to explain to her, you don’t need fancy things to smell good. A little soap and water, that’s all you need. But she wouldn’t listen. She said all her friends have these high heel perfumes. Peer pressure, that’s what it is. Kids these days, always wanting what everyone else has.
And you know what else? They have different kinds of these perfumes. Some are supposed to be for daytime, some for nighttime. Like you need a different smell for different times of the day! It’s just too much. I think I will stick with my flower water. It’s cheaper and smells better. Or it’s just me who’s old and doesn’t know fashion.
But I guess if you like shoes, and you like perfume, then maybe this is the thing for you. It’s like two things in one. A shoe and a perfume. But for me, it’s just a high heel perfume. A fancy name for something that doesn’t need to be fancy. What do you think? Do you have one of these?
I saw one, it was called Good Girl or something. And there are different scents to it. Some stronger, some lighter. They even have a name for that strong scent. It’s called parfum. I guess that is the fancy one. Costs even more! They say this parfum has the most smell. Maybe 20% to 30% of it is just the smell. The rest is probably just water!

So, if you see these high heel perfumes around, don’t be fooled. It’s just perfume in a fancy bottle. Don’t waste your money unless you really, really like it. And remember, you don’t need fancy things to be a good person. Just be yourself, that’s all that matters. And try to be nice to old ladies like me!
Maybe I am too old to understand these new things. But I think some things are just silly. These high heel perfumes are one of them. But hey, if it makes you happy, go for it! Just don’t ask me to buy you one! I’d rather spend my money on something useful. Maybe some new seeds for my garden. That’s something that always makes me happy.
