Recently Gene Simmons was reportedly elaborating on the rationale behind the Kiss fragrance line Kiss Him and Kiss Her when he announced that “the idea initially was not just limited to fragrances, it was for everything head to toe.” Whoa. Like Jessica Simpson’s Dessert except made by leather-clad, collar-wearing, glam-metalists!? Awesome. We’re unclear about whether or not Simmons et al. actually plan to release the rest of the Kiss-endorsed products he mentioned (underarm deodorant, shampoo, body oils for him and for her) but we know Simmons has put a lot of thought into the scent in the Kiss line.
“What I did was listen to women,” Simmons explained. “Women would come over, and there’s lots of them, thank you. You ask them what they like. We must have had fifteen different fragrances on the table and they all veered to one or two of them and we finally decided on one,” he said of the process. “You’re talking to men, we’re Neanderthals. All we know is when the scent works with a woman, we get aroused and once we get aroused — that’s what women are here for.” Good to know. Hey Gene, how would you feel if someone, say, tested out this women-are-for-arousal-only theory on your fourteen-year-old daughter, Sophie? “The fact that [Sophie] uses Kiss fragrances every day when she goes to school, to the shark-infested waters of 14- and 15-year-old boys, tells me this is the real thing,” Simmons revealed. Um, ew?
