Elizabeth Arden the company behind this new fragrance should be ashamed of themselves for putting out a blatant copy of another companies logo and for potentially damaging the wonderful brand mondonation has built around the i believe design. They should be coughing up some serious cash for this blunder, but the sad part about this, is that even paying a settlement doesn’t repair damage to the brand.

    Wow, how does this even happen? I did notice that if you look close enough there is a subtle change in the e. Perhaps this is where they took the design and made it their own?
