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!!
