Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles for 2008, part 3

Posted by Robin on 8 April 2008 2 Comments

More limited edition collector fragrance bottles, with the usual disclaimer: in most of these cases, the juice is unchanged, just the bottle is "special".

La Prairie Silver Rain

At Nordstrom, La Prairie's Silver Rain in "in three exquisite shades—purple, blue and chartreuse—for a limited time only". $85 for 30 ml, concentration unknown.

Lacoste Essential 75th Anniversary

At Bloomingdales, the Lacoste Essential 75th Anniversary edition, featuring a 'commemorative "75th Anniversary" cap and silver folding carton'. In 125 ml Eau de Toilette for $65.

Armani Code Casino edition

From Acqua di Parma, the unisex fragrance Colonia Assoluta in the "In Villa" limited edition with frosted glass. Not sure when this one will be available in the US. (via marieclaire, alzd.de) Update: Colonia Assoluta In Villa is available now at Bergdorf Goodman; $150 for 200 ml.

And from Giorgio Armani at Sephora, Armani Code for men: "This Armani Code Casino Limited Edition set features a 2.5 fl. oz. Eau de Toilette Spray and a deck of playing cards. It's the perfect gift for the casino lover who's feeling lucky." $65.

    Thank you Robin, I always had the doubt about what freakin' colour “Chartreuse” was! 😉

    Offhand news: A kiehl's store opened here in Buenos Aires (a first for Argentina) and I am going to go this weekend to see if I can get Kiehl's musk eau de toilette (it was unavailable when I went to the states las october!)… Months of layering await me! 😀

    I also hope that they carry the essential oils!

    Regards!

    Hey P, I just read recently that Kiehl's Musk was “re-introduced” — I didn't even know it had gone away. So if you don't see it, perhaps they'll get it a bit later. Sadly, they really don't carry the extensive range of essential oils that they used to — and the ones I liked are all gone. But let me know if you smell anything interesting!
