Seeing Double: Imitation or Running Out Of Ideas?

There's a popular saying - imitation is a form of flattery. But when you see something that is quite similar in design, is it a form of flattery or simply just running out of ideas?

What I'm talking about is the design of the perfume bottles sported by Narciso Rodriguez For Him (and Her, too) andDolce & Gabbana The One; as well as Calvin Klein Man and Boss Pure. Comparing the overall design, they look similar. Narciso's top is more plasticky, while D&G's is given woody feel. On the other side, CK's go for black non-transparent top, while Boss' with the see-thru. With the same overall outlook, given a tweak here and there - voila ... you get a new design!

Or is it just that they're came from the same manufacturer? Or just from the same old designer? Whatever it is, it may be a good to recycle idea esp during this credit crunch period!
