When the packaging outshines the contents

Found on a Publi-Sac flyer this morning. This is Donna Karan's new Cashmere Mist fragrance.

I think this may just be the most beautiful perfume bottle I have ever seen. Fluid, graceful, sinewy lines curving elegantly uwards in a slight twisting motion, up to the narrower top of the cap, all in perfect crytal transparence. Absolutely lovely. What a pity the fragrance itself is less than remarkable :( It reminds me of baby powder with a hint of old-lady's cloying perfume underneath.  I wish I could have just the empty bottle and transfer my favorite current fragrance inside it.
