does anyone that shops family dollar stores shop saks of neiman marcus where the real ones are sold? does estee really think people are getting these brands “mixed up ” with the real ones, if you read the disclaimer on these products it says ” if you like “Beautiful” try our brand called UGLY, MEANING IF YOU LIKE STARBUCKS TRY FOLGERS, there both the same item ‘coffee’just try ours you may like it, it’s called ‘COMPARATIVE ADVERTISING” thats all! no one says ” this is the same as Estee but cheaper, read the fine print people, anyway why should perfume cost $50.00 – $80.00 dollars, as they claim they spend tens of milions advertising, thats the real cost and the fools go out and pay that crap when you could be paying $5.00

I recall seeing these and few smelled close to real thing.

They will probably just change the names to something similar but not the actual trademark.

It’s not fair play anymore to use a designer name on a non-designer product. They should really just use another name as lawsuits are heating up regarding copyright infringement.

I guess there is a lot of money to be lost for a company when this occurs. In fact, I saw an artist using the LV logo and handbag in a t-shirt design and they are suing her – and it was for charity to help Darfur.

I agree. I don’t see the big deal with perfume knock-offs. However, I suppose I can see how their name use could ruffle their feathers a bit.
