    Agreed - though it was actually the bottle that lost them the task!

    Mind you, I'd have gone for the bottle myself though!

    Yep it did seem to be the designer, but speaking from experience it is very difficult to remember who made the very first germ of the idea and in the end it is usually not relevant because most ideas actually consist of multiple smaller ideas each of which is important. In this case one could argue that the two bottle approach was a definite leap in the thinking process, but it is still very difficult to remember these things.

    Muttley - join us in the champagne thread, and if you promise to be good I will serve you champagne instead of bitter.

    If they were selling for £45 a bottle it might have been a winner.

    Yeah, the fact that they forgot to do any costing whatsoever on the task rather put a damper on things....:D

    Mind you I don't know why anyone would want a chocolaty smelling perfume anyways!! :eek:

    Me too.
    I'd also be prepared to pay extra for it, certainly a few quid!

    Hope someone's watching and listening.
    Travel sized versions of everything sell well now esp with the restrictions on liquids in hand baggage.
    A travel size that automatically decants from a larger bottle would be an even better option!
