The Emperor’s New Clothes: N V Perricone

Now that reviews of Perricone’s wonder scent, Neuropeptide Synergy are starting to emerge, some beauty reviewers are thinking it might actually be working. Dab the anti-ageing aromatic on your top lip to get the maximum anti-anxiety and mental clarity benefits. Or possibly don’t bother….because each dab will cost you around about five pounds, and for something that might or might not marginally make you feel vaguely more awake, the thought of throwing fivers up your nose should be causing more stress than Synergy could possibly be getting rid of. It’s 225 pounds for 25ml. I’m thinking a nice pair of shoes, a very decent handbag or even a fabulous dinner a deux would have the same effect and probably cost less. Have I tried it? No. But, I’ve definitely smelled a rat.
