Is she drinking that keg-o-opium?? or is it heading for her eye? sheesh look out!, sitting-in-a-corner-like-a-wino-model, perfume really stings in the eyes!!!
It’s a very odd pose. She looks like she can hardly manage to hold up that bottle.
That’s awesome.
I really, really like Paul & Joe Blanc. . . just sayin’
Me too! Plus, I adore opaque bottles.
I need to be able to see how much i have left. As the level goes down, it feels like im making progress toward a new bottle of something else, so i get excited.
when I see the level going down I think : ” oh, no!!! must conserve! or start looking for replacement bottle!” hahahaha maybe we are evil perfume twins!
Love the P&J bottles too!
I’m assuming the new packaging for the re-formulated, non-deadly juice?
Which one? (Actually I don’t know which of these has been reformulated, although I would assume most if not all of the Diors, at least. Don’t know about the YSL or the P&J)
Oh no, the new Dior bottle look absolutely hideous! Like something by Avon.
I totally agree. They could not be more ugly…or boring…or generic!
I left out: totally uninspiring!
When I heard they were going to repackage, was really hoping they’d bring back the houndstooth. Agree, these are dull as dull can be. And what Forever & Ever Dior is doing in that group is beyond me.
Saw that recently in my shop and was wondering why the heck they are put in this strange bottles together?? The old bottle Diorissimo is much better (maybe should I get one, it is the only Liliy of the Valley scent that does not get soapy on me!).
Forever and ever Dior is SO generic. Duh.
There’s probably some reason it’s included, but offhand can’t think of what it would be.
Photoshop disasters is a funny site; thanks for pointing it out.
Paul & Joe bottles = NICE!!! Oh, and Blanc sounds great too. Thus, a lemming is born.
And I guess I don’t think the Dior bottles are *that* bad… but funny, I was just on Colette site and realized I find Dior colognes/eaux bottles quite nice. I’d never really noticed them.
This was one of my recent favorites:

Of course the real attractions of those sites are the hilarious headlines and text they write. Like cakewrecks and go fug yourself.
Yes! Inexpliciamus is perfect
I don’t think the Dior bottles are bad, either. The first thing that came to my mind is that Dior is jumping on the Les Exclusifs packaging bandwagon. I thought that of the D&G tarot card thingy fumes, too. I like the Paul & Joe bottles, very classeh!
The P&J bottles really do look nice. I like the blue one but the white fragrance — figures!
The one I get sucked into in horror is

But I also love cakewrecks and go fug yourself
That one is almost too much for me! Very funny though.
The Paul & Joe campaign shot is fantastic! I’d rush into their store and have a sniff.
They’re good fragrances too.
Dior bottles depart from the company style, I don’t see the marketing behind that. They want to be more banal?
However, Dior fragrances are a no-no for me, including that disaster and highly hated Dune.
I don’t see the marketing either. They have no brand identity.
