The Ed Hardy Skulls & Roses Chalkboard Edition for Women & Men feature fragrance bottles with a unique finish that allows you to draw on them with chalk!
PR was kind enough to send me both bottles, and encouraged me to put my spin on them.
Hehe, I’m not a great drawer, but when I was in school, I enjoyed doodling in my notebooks a lot for fun (especially if the class was boring – hey just being honest).
It’s been a long time since I doodled, so this little project brought out the kid in me (not that the kid in me ever really went far – just down the street, actually, to buy some candy!) 😉
In this post, I’ll show you in closer detail what I came up with. As a whole, I’m calling this collective, “Open Your Mind to Love”, which you may remember me showing on Instagram yesterday.
Here they are as clean canvases. They had no idea what atrocities were to befall them! 😉
Still unsuspecting!
I just had to let them know what each other was thinking. Put on your thinking cap!
The purple one is for women.
The red one is for men.
Each perfume or cologne comes in a box, and you get a piece of chalk with it.
The box shows you a design idea. It looks like a tattoo, which the Ed hardy brand is known for.
To use the fragrance, you need to turn and then pull the top. (Hope I didn’t hurt you, Ms. Skelly Ton!)
Here are the designs I came up with.
The first photo is the one I posted on Instagram yesterday.
And this is why I decided to call these two pieces “Open Your Mind to Love”. 🙂
A closer look at the Ed Hardy Skulls & Roses design I drew:
Here’s a closer look at the Ed Hardy Skulls & Roses fragrance for men with my doodles:
If you’re interested in more information about these fragrances, please refer to the official press release I posted not long ago.
If you’re curious about the skull scarves that were the backdrop in a few photos in this post, please check out this old post about some things I purchased from Garage.
What would you draw on your skulls? (Hehe, sounds funny!) When was the last time you doodled? Do you enjoy visual arts like painting?
Edit: It was already an honour to participate in the contest, but it’s really nice to hear encouraging words!
ummm not a chalk fan it makes me sneese
Hey Icequeen81!
Haha, then I must remember to keep Mr. and Ms. Skelly Ton away from you or you may sneeze away my designs! 😉 Hahaha!
Seriously, though, I know what you mean. When I was in high school, sometimes when I’d erase a lot of chalk on the board, it would make my nose itchy. Oh man, I remember when some of the guys in my class used to take the chalkboard erasers and clap them together to create all that chalk dust!
Thankfully, these bottles are small, so I don’t think chalk dust would be a major issue except for those who are highly allergic.
Lol you know what makes it worse? me being a teacher, but lucky me nowadays they use black boards.
Ahh, I see! You have to be around blackboards and chalk often. I can see how that would really irritate your nose!
Cool fragrences just got cooler! Great artwork!
Hey Melissa!
Thank you so much! 🙂 When I finished covered the tops, I got a little sad because I wanted to continue doodling. Oh well, I can use paper, but it’s not nearly as fun as drawing on a skull!
I agree-how cool is it to draw on a skull?! 🙂
The only thing I wish is that the skull was larger, so I could doodle for longer! 😉
Unique product! Would be a good christmas gift for young ladies

Hey Craftynail!
Yes, it would be, plus it’s great for encouraging self-expression!
Curses! I’d love these as a toy, but I can’t imagine ever actually using the fragrance. If only they came as empty shells!
Hey Cassie!
Who knows? Maybe one day they’ll come out with empty bottles that you can refill with your favourite fragrance. That would be a neat idea to have skull shaped ones. I’ve only ever seen refillable roll-ons and sprays.
What’s wrong with the smell, I’ve had many ladies that they love it.
Hey Rick!
Yes, many people enjoy the fragrances!
Scents are very personal experiences, which is part of the fun of discovering something that works well with your body chemistry. (I love trying out new perfumes!)
I have nothing against the two fragrances shown in this post. They aren’t holy-grail status for me, though.
If you’re replying to Cassie’s comment, maybe these fragrances aren’t her thing and she enjoys others more. It doesn’t mean there’s something inherently wrong with it. Example: I love the smell of lilacs more than roses, but I don’t think that there’s anything wrong with the way roses smell.
Some of the scents I love are Jo Malone Ginger Biscuit (too bad it’s discontinued), Elizabeth Arden Red Door, Fantasy by Britney Spears, Juicy Couture I Am Juicy Couture, Elizabeth Arden Untold, and several others. But my favourites are not necessarily going to appeal to everyone. It’s okay, and I like how everyone can experiment to find their own signature scent. 🙂
What are some of your favourite fragrances?
