I would feel I could never use these and I would just look at them. Now with some things that's fine but with perfume I want to wear it and smell it.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-67417594719660461902008-10-06T08:11:00.000+01:002008-10-06T08:11:00.000+01:00M,how true and wise.

Indeed it is so. <BR/>Limited editions and collector's items are all very well (and I like to keep abreast) but I just wish they'd concentrate on their main line more: streamlining the current batches, controlling the image and advertising to be in tune to the fragrance, re-issuing the body products and all concentrations that sort of thing.Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-22018544526412767692008-10-06T08:02:00.000+01:002008-10-06T08:02:00.000+01:00V,you're truly a friend in need!!

Millionairs Fair teaches us that there is a tendency to buy things because they are exclusive and not for the content. I really hope, that the new marketing twist of Guerlain is not an attempt to cover the lack of creativity... I really hope that they also keep efforts to create masterpieces...AromaXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212200633591194271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-36891703555391131492008-10-05T19:12:00.000+01:002008-10-05T19:12:00.000+01:00I shall be shoplifting four of those Champs Elysee...I shall be shoplifting four of those Champs Elysees... - <I>Lady Jicky</I><BR/><BR/>I will distract the two security guards while you run like crazy.<BR/><BR/>And if you are apprehended I promise to wear Parfum des Champs-Élysées while visiting you in the slammer.

First you are dead on about this being no more than a marketing hype. Not only are most of them readily available to many Guerlain customers (Mitsouko is dead anyway), many fragrances in this "collection" are not really "emblematic" fragrances Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-87612879145646448292008-10-04T16:22:00.000+01:002008-10-04T16:22:00.000+01:00Guerlain is really going towards a range not many ...Guerlain is really going towards a range not many people can reach!Elysiumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060128319922702037noreply@blogger.com
