Thanks to Christina!
]]>Not sure, but it may make you **dazzle**. :)
]]>@pinkpuppet: I think Jules meant Twilight.
For that matter, I hope Jules meant Twilight...
]]>@kylo4isunabletocomment,why?: Serves Perez Hilton right for licensing his name and slapping it on hideous notepads and such.
]]>It's a paperback. I have a fireplace. I'm contemplating.
]]>I would buy it if I liked the scent. I used to buy this one perfume by Elvira, Mistress of the Dark called "Evil." It smelled great. I wish I could find it again.
]]>Eh, I'm not sure this is such a big deal. The whole "poisonous apple" thing is not that new. I used to buy Hypnotic Poison for my wife: [[www.amazon.com]]. Well, I say used to because that was before she turned out to be a witch and killed all of my elf friends.
]]>Nina is distributed in the US by Coty Prestige (though made by Puig... Coty and Puig have a US distribution alliance), and it's a fruity floral under the Nina Ricci brand (and is very popular at stores like Macy's). It's not your grandmother's L'Air du Temps.
As for Twilight, I've never sniffed it, not even when I was in Hot Topic just recently. (They don't even offer a tester bottle!) However, it's also supposed to be a fruity floral. And guess what... the fragrance blogs like NowSmellThis are all buzzing over the similarities over the two bottles, too. Perfume bottles are typically copyrighted, patented, and/or trademarked... I've seen US Patent & Trademark Office applications from Beaute Prestige International for the Jean Paul Gaultier torso bottles and the Narciso Rodriguez for Her/for Him bottles.
Coty should consider legal action, even if the actual perfume inside the bottle is not identical to Nina.
]]>I'm more disturbed by the existance of a Twilight perfume.
]]>(Everything I know about Twilight is from [cleolinda.livejournal.com] since I've never read the books.)
]]>Also, if you buy Twilight perfume, you should be shot out of a cannon aimed at the sun. Just saying.
]]>Each of the books in the Twilight series have had a single item or small group of items, in white and red, on a black cover. An apple held in white hands, a red & white flower, a red ribbon, and chess pieces have all been featured on the covers of the series.
]]>Saw this on Perez Hilton on the third as well, almost an identical picture to this post.
]]>Here's the basenote page for Nina: [www.basenotes.net]
Perhaps Twilight is made by the same house (rebranded to fit the movie) or Nina is buying non-exclusive packaging.
All Twilight branded merchandise was made by NECA ([www.necaonline.com]) and not Hot Topic or Borders. The perfume had a limited run of 300 bottles sold at Hot Topic for $48. (I have a friend who owns bottle 93/300)
What most likely happened is that, rather than spending the time to create their own apple like bottle, they bought 300 bottles off Nina and made a new perfume.
So, you really can't lay this at Hot Topic's doorstep anymore than you could hold Walmart responsible if Pepsi decided to paint their cans red and add the Dynamic Ribbon to their cans tomorrow.
And has anyone bothered to ask Nina if she's mad about this?
]]>motto... cheat until it ain't profitable? perhaps Hot Topic might not be the direct offender but then again there haven't particularly been a surge of stories related to them instituting greater oversight on their vendors. maybe it's just easier/more profitable to do nothing or look the other way in this regards?
]]>I think people running out of ideas, lol.
Anna :)
Or is there proof that it was stolen?
]]>Funny stuff. I hope someone get sued!
]]>Hot Topic steals other peoples work.
