I'll bet it smells amazing with those ingredients. Whenever I see Bergamont as an ingredient, I think of Tova, which I always loved.

Alas, way to pricey for me.

I bet it smells really good.....Too pricey for me however, but I would love to smell it and try a sample......

Many people don't know this, but gypsy is an ethnic slur. It didn't used to be considered offensive, so it's understandable that many of us say or have said it without meaning anything negative. But nowadays, although many won't know or care at all, others may get the wrong idea about your intentions if you use the term.

I only found out about this last year! I've also found that it doesn't hamper my communications at all to just use vagabond or drifter or free spirit or hippie instead. Also instead of saying gyp, jyp, or jip, I say cheat or steal.

Learn something new every day. And if you still want to continue using the term, bless you. (this is not directed at the OP, who is just talking about an interesting perfume with an outdated name)

I was just coming on to say that Gypsy is indeed a slur. If I know this, I cannot believe everyone (oh, like, perfume manufacturers, for instance) doesn't..

I would imagine she is going for the "free spirit" of the dictionary definition for Gypsy. For myself I do not think it is a slur. "Middle age Woman" could be considered a slur if said with a certain tone and context. Anything can for that matter.

Well, I certainly had no idea the term gypsy was considered a slur.

There are several tv series which contain this word:

🎈A Gypsy Life for Me

🎈American Gypsies

🎈Gypsy Sisters

🎈My Big Fat American Gypsy Wedding

thank you, i was just going to say the exact same thing. if it is such common knowledge that it is a slur, why would a big company be naming thier purfume this? don't thay have people who check these things?

I figured now it would be considered a "slur" even though it wasn't years ago. I borrowed a costume to wear for Halloween when I was a kid -- it was a gypsy costume.
