I have had the same argument with a London SA for Chanel, who seemed outraged to learn that people could buy small uncontrolled quantities of Les Exclusifs via decant sites.

As a designer I must say that part of me understands the need to "protect" what I have made, but having my pieces in great company, appreciated by many more people than I could reach myself, at absolutely no cost to me would seem like a good deal, no? Their level of protectionism is really a kind of hubris, which I imagine is already out of fashion ; ) <br /><br />Plus Bond perfumes are awful for the most part, and their bottles hopelessly overdesigned!Qwendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283489032029545283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6462391128916934464.post-39223132146356298532010-05-05T00:48:32.339+02:002010-05-05T00:48:32.339+02:00Well, judging from all your comments and many othe...Well, judging from all your comments and many others on the perfume-WWW, this faetful tweet was, to mix proverbs, a shot in the foot heard around the world :D.

If I had, I would have heard about the twerps, I guess.<br /><br />Feeling the need to squawk over social networking that includes messages like "I'm constipated" and "OMG I saw sumone he luks JUST like Justin Bieber" is kind of funny-sad, no? Especially as the first shot lobbed over the bow. <br /><br />Somebody ought to settle this chasing down of decantery once and for all. Is it really an infringement? Everybody's skirting around it; perhaps it is worthy of deliberation on the halls of justice. Intellectual property is certainly worth protecting, IMHO.<br /><br />But...I also have to say, I have trouble seeing how offering smaller amounts of product that was obtained at fair market value is a problem.

(I must have missed out on an awful lot of snark/fun!)<br /><br />I haven't been too impressed from the few Bonds I've tried, but I'm even more underwhelmed now. And this company doesn't expect some kind of backlash from their arrogant and misguided strong-arm tactics? <br /><br />I think it should be. I'm even happier that the only Bond I've ever liked was, as you said - named James.tarleisiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891545310811763453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6462391128916934464.post-79890547124754977592010-05-03T09:50:06.094+02:002010-05-03T09:50:06.094+02:00(over from Perfume Shrine)

Was appalled at the time at the strong-arming over the word "peace" - which was absolutely hilarious anyway, considering Kenzo had released a "peace" scent years before Ms. Rahme's outfit. <br /><br />Now this? C&D via... TWITTER?? <br />This is plain old bullying. In the most literal sense, picking on the small ones only.<br />How I would love to see authorities in NYC taking a closer look at the dubious appropriation and trademarking (?) of entire landmarks....<br /><br />I don't care if they actually have a case in this instance or not, the tactics are despicable.<br /><br />As far as I'm concerned, this outfit ceases to exist from this instant on.
