Dutch designers Viktor & Rolf, asked in Observer Magazine whether the launch of Flowerbomb perfume represents "selling out on a grand scale", answer: no.
Only vaguely perfume-related, but the Baltimore Sun has an interesting article on how falling vanilla prices have affected growers in Madagascar (link no longer working, sorry!).
Newsweek Magazine has yet another run-down on this fall's celebrity fragrances (link no longer working, sorry!). Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely comes out on top; Spirit by Antonio Banderas "didn't smell as good as Antonio looks." I could have guessed that.
ROFL!! If they *did* come up with a perfume that smelled as good as Antonion looks, then the search for the HG is OVER.
M, ain't it the truth 😉
Chanel No.5 JUST joined the hall of fame? They must have extraordinary standards, indeed!
I was pleased that Palmolive dish detergent did so well 🙂
LOL!!
