Is that all Bijou is – CdG2 in a pink bottle? Blush. I sniffed this in Selfridges,were they claimed it was exclusive, and thought it was rather nice, but not thrilling. I need to revisit CdG2.
Why is the Daisy in a 20-mL bottle with a 15-mL refill? I seriously don't get this. You empty the bottle and then you pour in the refill and…it's not full. Doesn't the word “refill” imply that you get to re-fill the bottle and not re-partly-fill it?
Plus, that looks like a big honking bottle for a purse spray. A sleek tube is better for stowing: takes up less room. They should have made the refill bottle the spray and the spray bottle the refill.
I may not like the smell of the original Marc Jacobs scent but that bottle is really gorgeous.
I had the same question, and can only hope that the original source material was wrong. The bottle is mighty cute, but you aren't going to want that plastic flower in your purse anyway, it isn't going to look good after a few weeks. But — one possibility is that it is exactly as you propose: the one w/ the daisy is the refill???
Yes, that platinum bottle is lovely!
Hey, why should you blush — the SA obviously didn't know what she was selling! But I should go put an update on the Selfridges article.
