Packaging dispute over Guerlain Insolence settled

Guerlain's Insolence bottle is safe. Jean-Claude Cardiet of Cardiet Designs has given up his lawsuit alleging that Guerlain copied one of his own bottle designs to use for their new fragrance:

Guerlain has always maintained French sculptor Serge Mansau, who designed the Insolence flacon, was inspired by a sculpture he created in 1973, as well as by other works he realized in 1996. The beauty firm had decided to appeal a French court judgment in October that ruled Guerlain had counterfeited Insolence's spiral glass bottle. (via Women's Wear Daily)

    I so hoped they'd replace it with something less pink and frilly…oh well. :-)

    I don't much like the Insolence bottle either. It doesn't look like a Guerlain bottle at all.

    I'm almost a bit disappointed since I have a bottle of the parfum and I was hoping for it to become a collectors item when they redesigned the bottle…oh well.

    I think lots of people were hoping the same thing :-)
