I was initially skeptical that the analogy would work, but it does so perfectly. It’s not every day that someone pulls off a novel critique of capital that isn’t tired, forced or muddled. You’ve illustrated a key paradox (an “internal contradiction”) at the heart of the lifecycle of this and any other artistic industry: that what makes a brand successful is the very thing that must eventually be sacrificed. Thanks for the great read!
It’s funny you mention Chloe, because I am convinced it smells VERY similar to Chloe Chêne (I actually did a side by side and then got Chêne because it was weirdly cheaper at SpaceNK). It’s definitely no Rozu that’s for sure.

Love the Frog and Scorpion analogy, and agree, Pears hand soap is wonderfully nostalgic, just FYI, CW have it on sale for 3.49, ; )
