Get ready for a tea-spilling session that would make Lady Whistledown blush. Luke Newton and Nicola Coughlan, everyone's favorite almost-couple from "Bridgerton," recently sat down for a revealing interview and let's just say, no topic was off-limits. From relationship red flags to the power of fragrance, the two stars got candid, leaving fans both entertained and a little wiser in the ways of love.
The interview took a deliciously dramatic turn when the topic of fragrance came up, specifically the rather questionable practice of buying your current partner the same perfume as your ex.
“Oh, that’s not normal. No, okay?” Nicola declared, her eyes widening in horror at the mere thought.
Luke, ever the charmer, was quick to agree, adding with a playful shudder, "If I found out, I’d be like, ‘Are you serious?’”
Clearly, this is a shared sentiment.
Nicola, ever eloquent and insightful, explained the reasoning behind their mutual aversion, “Because scents are so connected to memory.”
A collective "ooh" rippled through the internet as fans felt that truth bomb deep in their souls.
The mere suggestion of a partner wanting their current love to smell like their past love? Well, it's enough to make anyone reach for a different fragrance—or maybe a restraining order.
“You don’t want them to smell [like your ex],” Luke added, making a face that spoke volumes.
“No, no, no, no, no, no,” Nicola chimed in, her tone firm, leaving no room for interpretation. The message was clear: some lines should never be crossed, and the invisible line drawn by an ex's signature scent is definitely one of them.
While the interview was filled with playful banter and laughter, the intensity with which both Luke and Nicola responded to the ex-perfume query spoke volumes.
“It’s a little creepy, yeah,” Luke admitted, prompting Nicola to nod vigorously in agreement.
The fact that they both had such a visceral reaction speaks to their understanding of boundaries and the importance of creating a unique and special bond with a significant other. After all, who wants to be haunted by the ghost of relationships past every time their partner leans in for a hug?
The takeaway? Take notes, people! Next time you're shopping for perfume for your sweetheart, steer clear of anything that might evoke memories of your ex. Unless, of course, you're aiming for a dramatic break-up. In that case, by all means, unleash the scent of scandal!
