New Perfume: Betsey Johnson by Betsey Johnson
This is the day of wonderful (see Sisley below) and gorgeous over-the-top fragrance bottles. Wonderful eccentric and designer Betsey Johnson has officially introduced her signature fragrance which will be distributed exclusively at Bloomingdale's until September before being sold in other locations like Nordstrom and Sephora. The bottle and the packaging were designed by an independent Dutch firm, Colorful Licenses. The fan-shaped top is flexible to allow the flacon to be easily carried in a purse while offering all its glamour once it's released. A woman after my own heart, Betsey Johnson has confessed that she has been known to buy beautiful perfumes with despicable juices in them. Let's hope Johnson took care not to do the same thing with her juice. If the scent is as gorgeous as the bottle it should smell gooooood.
The tantalizing juice is described as a fruity floriental. Top notes are pear, tangerine, grapefruit and blackcurrant. Heart notes are freesia and lily of the valley. Base notes are cedarwood, sandalwood, praline, amber and musk. The perfume was composed by nose Bernard Blanc in collaboration with Mane and the Karis Group and Betsey Johnson.
Betsey Johnson in 50 and 100 ml flacons will retail respectively for $55 and $75.

Well, it doesn't sound like everything else on the market, does it? Betsey should at least be interesting, given her clothes!

I just love the design and the concept behind it. Let's hope the juice won't disappoint:)

Hm, interesting. In a way it sounds like a sweeter more candy variation on her last signature scent. The earlier one I tried (and there was one before that one, too, I believe) was rather nice, but too fruity for me to care much about.The bottle looks so fun and funky, but I'm afraid I can't hold my breath hoping this newest one will be all that and a bag of chips.

I just saw one other of her perfumes in a much more sober, rectangular bottle. We'll see:)

I just bought this the other day at tj maxx. I only paid $22 for a clearance box that was unopened and looked still brand new. I love it! To me it is a soft caramel floral fruity scent. Not too sweet, but just enough to be sexy. It's my new favorite.

I wore the original Betsey Johnson perfume all through high school and college. Its the circular bottle with little pink flowers on it. Does anyone know where I can find? Did you find it?

Where can I find the original Betsey Johnson. It's the only perfume that I LOVE. Not too fond of the new perfume.

Despite the previous comment above, I did not find the OLD Betsey Johnson formula at Sephora.com. The new one is everywhere. Has anyone found the old formula in the square bottle at all? I am not too fond of the new one either.

I thought I was the only loyal fan to THE ORIGINAL rectangle bottled Betsey Johnson perfume. She bring it back and launch a "back by popular demand" campaign. I would buy cases of the previous version if it were available and would NOT SHARE with anyone. Any news on where it can be found?

Any news regarding the original scent? I also wore it for the last decade and am hoping there's somewhere to find it...I wish she would bring it back.

DESPERATELY SEEKING ORIGINAL BETSEY FRAGRANCE, OR BATH GEL OR BODY LOTION..let's all write betsey letters...she has to relaunch it as i can't find it anywhere, and would love to buy some, but not at $150 a bottle that's on ebay once a year...

As per a post I see above, if you're looking for a bottle of the BETSEY JOHNSON Original Perfume [hello girlfriend - square bottle], I just posted it on ebay. Just thought you'd like to know! Go to ebay.com and look up Item number: 190264403720

I'm also a giant fan of the original perfume, and just about to run out of my last tiny bits. Does anyone know if the formula in the square bottle is the same as the one in the spherical bottle? I've always assumed so, but perhaps that's not true.
