Anyone trying this desperately to appear this pretentious clearly is "fronting" and more than likely has to use credit cards to make these purchases that "only those as special as you can afford". Spare me. Either you're Rosenthal in disguise or just another wanna be rich guy with a Mercedes financed for 72 months. No authentic person sounds like this either way. Get over yourself and the perfume, it's probably made by Robertet and the real value is probably less than $50. But it makes you feel important to be hookwinked so you got your money's with I guess. (If you even actually own a bottle). <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-1235945050421749572007-09-25T17:34:00.000-04:002007-09-25T17:34:00.000-04:00Morticia, as of last year the JARs ran from about ...Morticia, as of last year the JARs ran from about $380 for Shadow to around $800 for BoL. I wouldn't be surprised if they've gone up a little by now. It seems all the imported stuff did.Gaiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11561470171631737626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-69257531968156386622007-09-25T17:08:00.000-04:002007-09-25T17:08:00.000-04:00I'm curious.

Mr. Rosenthal has obviously gone to great lengths to create a line of wonderful scents and if he chooses to present them with style and a mystique that's his prerogative. <br /><br />I've seen the words pretentious and JAR coupled on far too many blogs so let me say, for those less familiar with the lexicon, it would only be "pretentious" if the perfumes smelled like the cheap, common fragrances I'm sure they're used to buying at drug stores and malls and therefore didn't warrant the ceremony. On the contrary, they are quite worth it. <br /><br />Anyone who is silly enough to be intimidated by this should probably just jaunt down 5th Avenue to Saks and join the throngs. I have such a problem with people who decry something just because they can't afford it or are so unfamiliar with it that it makes them feel uncomfortable. It's not JAR's fault that some people feel out of sorts unless they're sitting on their Pottery Barn sofa in front of their large-screen "TeeVee", eating pizza.<br /><br />That said, Diamond Water is truly divine. I had narrowed my hunt for the perfect winter fragrance down to it and Shadow. The wonderful fellow at JAR was entirely accommodating when I asked to put Shadow on one wrist and Diamond Water (why does everyone want to call it Diamond Waters???) on the other while I went up to 7 to look at some Meissen. After letting them both dry down and evolve my husband and I agreed that Shadow had just the tiniest bit of a viand quality but that Diamond Water was a playful, sultry delight. It's progression was astounding: pomander to carnation to incense. I raced back to the boutique and snapped one up. I'm sure I'll return; Bolt of Lightning was just too wonderful to resist for summer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
