    Really? That seems really dumb. I am sorry, but that is a complete put off for me. I think if the bottles were more art and less distress it would make a modicum of sense, but the stains, drips and drabs insult the buyer’s intelligence…Pollock he is not. It is like having to watch Gloria Vanderbilt acid wash her jeans for Costco sales….

    Anyone know what the fragrance is like? The video made me think it might be closer to Sécrétions Magnifiques than anything else!
