Inspired by the hit movie, ‘Twilight’ perfume has been developed and is appropriately being sold in a red apple-shaped bottle. Now you can smella like Bella. Actually, the fragrance is said to be a delightful freesia and lavender combination.
However, my question is this: How did they manage to produce it in a bottle shaped exactly like that of last year’s sensation ’Nina‘ by Nina Ricci? Granted, the ‘Twilight’ apple is a blood red color whereas ‘Nina’ is pink glass (with a special holiday 2008 gold edition), but the similarity between the two bottles is undeniable.
The 80ml spray perfume is available at Hot Topic for $48, and you are limited to one bottle only.
