It's great to hear about the change of copyright laws around fragrances. It really called for altering, many brands were suffering under those blatant copies. Btw, I've been a long-time reader of this blog and decided to sign up. My name's Guus, I'm from The Netherlands. Keep up the good work on this blog, it's very informative!
Hi Gus, welcome and thanks for the nice words! Agree on the copyright laws, and I'm sure Lancome is very pleased.
