Love their stuff, and they seem to have pretty much maintained their vision 100 %. And yeah, I'm sure there are others, but fore some reason I'm drawing a blank, too.

I'm sure there are others, but they aren't coming to mind at the moment. Comme des Garcons has come close. I'm sure there are others, but they aren't coming to mind at the moment.

Ironically, they need to appeal to the mass-market in order to keep creating designs which have little mass-market appeal. But I keep hoping, dreaming, in some silly art-for-art's-sake fantasy, that a designer will come along who refuses to do *anything* mainstream, who will maintain absolute artistic integrity in every aspect of their work, from fragrance to clothing. I actually thought Thierry Mugler fit that description (yes, Angel was a huge hit, but it was also *truly* original, as was his clothing) until I saw he recently did a fragrance "exclusively for Victoria's Secret"....*sigh* Indeed, the scents do finance the clothes, and allow some designers to maintain their creative vision with clothes that just aren't usually big money-makers.

At any rate, I'll try it. Is it just me or does it seem like it could be a light version of Flowerbomb? At any rate, I'll try it.

The scents finance the clothes, in more than one case. The only place I saw Anglomania in the US (in-person) was in TJ Maxx, but the line can be found on the internet, and perhaps some mainstream store that I don't know about carries them.

Vivienne Westwood is probably my favorite fashion designer of all time, but for me, her fragrances have always fallen a little below the mark. I have always admired her refusal to join the mainstream, but her fragrances seem so much less original and creative than her clothes. I liked the original Boudoir okay, though it was a little sweet for me, but I thought Libertine was pretty awful. Libertine was discontinued here in the states- don't know about Europe- and to my knowledge, her Anglomania and Boudoir Sin Garden were never released here, and I don't know if Let it Rock will be. At least, I've never seen them- does anyone know where I might find them in the US? Despite my lukewarm feelings about Boudoir & Libertine, I'd still like to give them a sniff, just 'cause they're from Vivienne. Hmmm…not sure what to think.

I loved it! It was a lot 'prettier' than I expected it to be. I'm afraid I absolutely hate the original 'Boudoir', Sin Garden didn't smell like it. I will look forward to Let It Rock, I'm not too sure I like the name but that's just me being fussy! I have tried Sin Garden. I loved it! It was a lot 'prettier' than I expected it to be.
