Topic: Do you think an affordable perfume is a brilliant idea?

So Babe's idea of an affordable perfume for working class woman is revolutionary? How many woman struggling to make ends meet really care about that? Plus, hasn't Babe ever been to Target or a drug store? They have lots of lower priced scents, including Dove who just came out with inexpensive body sprays to match their bath soaps and body lotions.

Gee, no wonder someone as smart as jr thinks Babe should be running Fusion!! I know Kendall's supposed to be the bad guy in all this, but, she's not wrong.

I'd much rather have an affordable face cream that would compare to La Mer or Murad!

I don't see anything wrong with the idea except that Babe and Amanda shouldn't have spent any Fusion time or money on product development unless that is their job or they were asked to.

You're absolutely right. Plus Babe's timing wasn't right. If she wanted to offer a new product idea line to her bosses, she should have asked them to take a meeting with her, NOT do it in front of her other co-workers and act all pissy when K&G weren't so receptive, once again undermining the owners of the company. She had poor timing, a poor attitude and a poor presentation. /Cookie

Lots of companies have cheap lines and expensive lines and you often don't know that they are the same company.  It could be that kind of scenario.

I'm sure that the writers would have us believe that a bottle of Charm costs well over $100...yes, something that most people wouldn't spend.  But a budget $25 version would sell.

The funny thing is, there have been a few different All My Children fragrances and they all smelled TERRIBLE and were cheap as all get out.

I'm not surprised that the perfumes smelled terrible. After all the show itself has really stunk to high heaven at times!! /Cookies

The one Fusion perfume sold in Wal mart.  How much more "bargain" can you get? 

joking,

 I know it was 'high end' on the show...but... 

 I can just imagine what 'Babe' (bella) perfume will smell like!!!

Babe would stink, no doubt! Next she'll come with parfum ala KWAK. /Cookie

Didn't Kelly Buchcanan once said that she would love to take the love that Babe & KWAK had for each other & bottle it up? Lol!/mistygrace

Now that would be one 'pundgent' smell!! L.A.

I'm sure IF Kendall thought of the idea first, it would have been considered *revolutionary* or *brilliant*, but personally, I would much prefer wearing afforable or knockoff versions of the real thing. I personally like the idea, since I have a tight budget myself, but I think Kendall just came off as snobby for not wanting to make a perfume at an *affordable perfume* for the everyday woman who can't afford the high pricey stuff that Kendall & Greenlee try to sell!:)

Sorry, but, Kendall does have a point if Fusion has projected an image of being a higher end cosmetics company. Babe is totally out of touch with the people she wants to reach out to if she doesn't know that any drug store has perfumes, knock offs, scented powders and body lotions that the average working woman can afford. It's not the ground breaking or original idea that she's patting herself on the back for thinking up./Cookie

Sorry, but I'm just not a big fan of Kendall, & I think if presented right, Babe's idea of the perfume, can work!/mistygrace
