They'll be discontinued before we know it.

I thought he left from this brand. I guess I am mixing him up with someone else.

Charles de Vilmorin and Rochas

Equally ghastly designs and similarly sleepy couture house

 

[rowjellies]

This Vénus bottle design looks outdated as hell. Are we designing for thrift stores?

Looking at the recent collection on their online store, the selection has improved, but everything looks like a bootleg 80s couture collection. The pieces are appealing, but they don't really have an identity of their own.

On top of that, there's so many synthetic blends. The worst is this €950 jacket whose composition reads like this: 32% polyamide, 28% virgin wool, 23% polyester, 17% acrylic. At this point, the virgin wool has become a wh*re.

That jacket looks soooo itchy.

So…I guess Puig is just pretending that l’Exstase and it’s flop never happened

 

[rowjellies]

Puig out of anyone should be knocking perfume out of the park.

Make something of the caliber of Dries Van Noten perfume, Penhaligon’s, or even the new Charlotte Tilbury perfumes…

This jacket looks like leftover Balmain from 10 years ago.

Again, Nina Ricci has been a very neglected brand and is pretty much dependant on the production and sales of endless Nina and its 13 flankers, most of which are now discontinued. I think that it's due to the fact that they never managed to create a proper halo with the fashion.

I agree with the message, buuut can't they use a font that's readable.

The flacon is widely being compared to Elizabeth Taylor's Black Pearls — a mainstay at off-price retailers like TJ Maxx, Marshall's, Burlington, and Ross. Not a smart choice, I'd say.

His looks cheaper.

I love this counter-account to STYLENOTCOM. It's clearly saying what everyone is thinking. Followed.

Well, they're aware of the competition, I guess. Soon this "perfume" will be on the discount racks, too. I can't wait to hear the reviews from fragrance nuts, people think we're bad on tFS? They let fragrances really have it.

Also, the fan shape also gives me a bit of a Karl vibe
