Monsieur Guerlain is silenced by LVMH

Apparently Monsieur Guerlain's lovely tribute site has been summarily shut down at the behest of LVMH over alleged trademark infringement. To all appearances this represents cold-blooded and inexplicable treatment of an individual who had been the brand's biggest cheerleader. Although the house is legally entitled to protect the Guerlain name, one wonders what possessed prudent businesspersons to quash a source of history of the brand, information about new releases and exquisite photographs of their products. If you have a blog, please add your voice to the many who have already questioned this bizarre action.

I know, ScentFan. I feel exactly the way you do. Apologies for the bare bones nature of this article, which was written in haste and anger. For more information I recommend this piece. http://www.kafkaesqueblog.com/2016/02/07/lvmh-silences-monsieur-guerlain/#more-19334

What??? Incredible. That site is a treasure! Closing it is an act of such stupidity, it makes me think Guerlain, under LVMH, is in decline.
