I was involved in designing the bottle and packaging. I don't know about what's in it. I barely cook, so what do I know about making perfume? It's called a floriental and it's for the mass market, not Bergdorf's.
— Danielle Steel quoted in today's New York Post (link no longer working, sorry), on her new fragrance release Danielle by Danielle Steel.
a quote from the article: “For 25 years, I've been asked to put my name on a fragrance, and Anna Wintour made the match. I finally decided if it brings me some money, why not? Elizabeth Taylor makes fortunes with the stuff. And I'm doing more commercial things now.”
Wow, way to aim high Danielle. This is the opposite of advertising. On principle I don't even want to test this fragrance. Thanks for the link Robin, it is interesting, I wish more celebrities would confess that they're just doing it for the money.
I was very surprised she said it in public, but you know, the fragrance is fine — a sort of lower end version of Euphoria, not my style, but no worse than anything else.
