Hmmm… sounds like old Elton is taking a page from John Galliano.
I wonder if Christophe Laudamiel is behind this Elton candle, too? I need to remember to visit BBW every once in a while – I always seem to forget about them, for some reason.
Yes, it does! And wish JG would go ahead and release his candle in a personal fragrance already…
Some of the BBW stores near me are still in the “old style”, but the newer ones are really rather amazing in terms of what they carry. And Bigelow opened a boutique in the mall near me now — with L'Artisan, CdG, all sorts of amazing niche stuff. The term “niche” is actually getting sort of meaningless…
Wow, that sounds wonderful… wish I had a Bigelow now!
Have a feeling you'll get one eventually. Bigelows looks like they are on expansion mode.
