Cashmere Mist Collector's Edition

I guess I’m the oddball because I think the bottle and it’s packaging were beautiful. To be honest I don’t even want to open mine up and ruin it. I put it up for now until I can decide.

Who knew that kissing a brand goodbye at Estée Lauder would manifest itself into the shape of this shiny RED play-doh looking bottle. The ADF team have truly outdone themselves by turning a work of art into this RED mess. What a disappointment for them to show their gratitude to a legendary designer by turning one of her signature items into a piece of whatever you can call this! After seeing this bottle, it makes complete sense that the marketing team members had completely given up and were just phoning it in and just showing up for a paycheck till the next job interview! A classic brand, an iconic bottle and a revolutionary American designer deserve a lot more than what this team managed to serve up on the way out. Unlike Donna Karan’s lasting impression on American fashion, this bottle and its misfire in its interpretation of CHANEL NO.5’s red bottle hopefully will be soon forgotten. I am sure that the buyers at TJX have already opened up their checkbooks and pre-ordered their share! As for the scent itself... never mind, wearing it requires picking up this bottle and actually confessing that you bought and own or tried this travesty! What an embarrassment! Congratulations to the Interparfums team for acquiring this gem of a brand. Please do this fragrance justice and treat it like the jewel that it is... one of a kind, iconic and soft as a cashmere blanket that wraps itself around one while making her feel like a woman!

What a waste!! This is ugly and tacky. Why did her brand leave Estée Lauder? This bottle, I hope this isn’t the new trademark of Donna Karan’s cashmere mist? Sadly it may be!!! I’ll be hunting down vintages. There so hard to find. This is such a beauty to just end up ruined!!
