I feel Opie was so distraught at breaking the big bottle that he did not
notice at all that there was no fragrance! As far as shoppers, I think most
women who would purchase expensive perfume were already familiar with it

In the episode where Opie breaks a bottle of perfume,a couple of things bother
me.When Opie breaks
the bottle,should he not have noticed there was a lack of smell?This should
have alerted him that the
bottle contained colored water only.Secondly,wouldn't a potential customer want
to know
I don't know about the perfume Opie broke, but I work in the produce dept of
a grocery store and the worst thing you can do in my area is break a jar of
chopped garlic. You not only have to clean up the mess, you can't just dump
it in the bin in the back room, you have to take it a

the bottle of perfume. true and he didnt bother to see how it smellls. Even
back in 1968 as well as today, we can guess why not. Look at the

Maybe Opie was subconsciously thinking that the more sophisticated/expensive
the perfume, the more subtle the scent.
This may be over-analyzing whether the $64.00 bottle of perfume was an
extravagance or not.but isn't this one of the many reasons why we love
our little group: obsessing on things others don't even notice??
