Just wouldn't have pegged it as #2! And guessing you're right that lots of parents bought a bottle. Oh, I can completely believe it is a best seller. Just wouldn't have pegged it as #2!

The perfume world is evolving constantly and what was good before doesn't quite cut it anymore. Thanks for bringing this here. Very interesting list.

It was top at sephora 10 bestsellers list and selling very well with the teens. Mostly because it's a girlish pink frosting scent and they can spend money in no time at all. All the mom's and dad's were buying it for them too! I guess she picked one that instantly attracts young women. I can believe that vera wang princess was a best seller.

That's what I mentioned on perfumeposse and Marina's blog today; What's wrong with some standards or guidelines? Anyway, I've already opened my big mouth and said more than enough about this issue, so I will just leave it at that. Hugs and love! I wholeheartedly and completely agree with you, babe.

The Juicy, I would have guessed, but not VWP. The conflicts of interest issue is very interesting, and I do think in this sense, the perfume blogs are to some extent in their own little vacuum -- and please understand that I don't mean this as a criticism of anyone -- seriously!! I make that point not only because I don't want to seem like I think I'm more ethical than anyone else, because truly, I am not, but also because my own thinking on the issue has changed drastically over the past year. But there have been major scandals in other blogging "niches" about accepting gifts from companies whose products you are reviewing, and I think it is worth, first of all, having a policy about what you will accept and what you won't, and giving a hard look at how you interact with perfume and PR companies in general.

So to be honest, nothing would surprise me these days. But Vera Wang Princess???? Hugs!
