Twilight Comes Out With Perfume, Smells Like a Lawsuit.
Following a line of cheap and unimaginative merchandise that included Godiva chocolate bars and body glitter, the minds behind the Twilight movie adaptation have fulfilled the dreams of rabid fat chicks everywhere; releasing a perfume that allows the wearer to smell exactly like the failcake main character, Bella.
Containing notes of freesia and lavender, Twilight fans can purchase one 80mL bottle per customer of this scent from Hot Topic and Borders bookstores nationwide for an affordable $48. Now you too can smell like a lavender steak, hopefully attracting your own old creepy stalker Edward Cullen in the process!

But hang on, that's not all. Of course, if you've read any of my blogs you know that I find the subject of Twilight to be intensely hilarious, bordering on downright infuriating. But regardless of whether or not I agree with certain themes in the popular young adult series, I immediately noticed one major problem in marketing this perfume.

Appropriately incorporating notes such as apple tree wood and red toffee apple, this line (which also includes a body lotion and shower gel) bares a striking resemblance to the aforementioned Twilight perfume. OKAY, IT'S EXACTLY FUCKING IDENTICAL. Perhaps Nina Ricci licensed the use of the bottle, or perhaps the merchandisers were completely shady. With a lack of information on the Twilight scent, we can't be sure whether Nina Ricci is involved or not, but something odd is definitely afoot.

It looks exactly like Nina by Nina Ricci!

I smell a lawsuit.
