--Note to my customers who find themselves perturbed when they see another perfumer offering similar bottles/containers as Pixxxie Pie:

I love you guys, but it doesn't mean someone is copying me when they have the same bottles, compacts or jars. When it comes to enforcement of copyright/intellectual property, "Copy" means something very specific relating to exact duplication to the extent that you can not differentiate between the two items in question on multiple levels. To invite a confrontation w/ another perfumer over such things as bottles is fantastically unprofessional & would show that I have no understanding of the very nature of the business I'm in. Such childish action could also make me look like someone simply trying to find an excuse to bully or intimidate my fellow perfumers. I'm not Estee Lauder or some big perfume corp, so I don't have bottles or compacts specially designed & fabricated just for me at my magic factory in the fairy woods. We perfumers here on Etsy in the USA only have so many vendors to go to for bottles and such. This means we all commonly buy our bottles, compacts, jars etc. from public-commercial-market web sites. Many people found those same websites before me and will after me so it means absolutely nothing to me if you find another person selling their wares out of similar vessels. It's what's in the vessels that makes the difference & each perfumer here on Etsy is offering their own beloved products in the vessels they feel represent their brand the best. I'm also not the only person inspired by the "old world Victorian" look & feel, lol, and I sure as hell didn't invent it though I'd like to think I've re-invented it here at my end of the dark forest. I'm not here on Etsy to police the bottles/compacts used by fellow perfumers or accost them over any issues that could be chalked up as coincidental stylistic similarities. I'm here to offer you guys a great selection of natural wares made with love and care and hopefully inspire a few people along the way!
