I hope I transcribed the link ( this is soooo important.) EA blames a 13.4%-150 million sales lost VS 2013 on their signature fragrances.

That link was worth reading for the comments. I particularly liked the one about the entire marketing dept. smoking crack.

I had to search it out to see if it really existed and sadly to say it does exist.

The Elizabeth Arden think tank needs to be fired, or at least be forced to actually use the perfume on themselves.

I don't shop for perfume so I don't know what the packaging looks like on other brands but to me that is some pretty hideous packaging.

There's a golden opportunity for a bargain just asking to be absorbed by one of the big boys/girls who knows how to run a company.

You can teach business management in school but can't pass on a company founder's vision.
