Anna Sui ~ shopping for perfume in New York City
Visitors of a certain taste and temperament will want to move into Anna Sui’s SoHo boutique as soon as they experience its urban-bohemian decor. The designer’s style is evident in every aspect of the shop. Her playful, gothic-romantic frocks are displayed in black-painted, antique wardrobes. Costume jewelry glitters in the light from Tiffany-style lamps, the purple walls are hung with vintage rock posters and Aubrey Beardsley prints, and early Cure albums play over the stereo.
Anna Sui’s line of perfumes is arrayed on a low table near the front of the store, where shoppers can easily spritz and test the winsomely packaged scents. The shop’s young, enthusiastic sales associates (all Sui-clad from head to toe) are ready to demonstrate the fragrances and their matching body products…

Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2008, part 11
More limited edition collector fragrance bottles, with the usual disclaimers: in most of these cases, the juice is unchanged, just the bottle is “special” (or not, as the case may be), and some of these may not be available in the US.
From Viktor & Rolf, this year’s limited edition version of Flowerbomb Extreme (you can see the 2007 bottle here). The description hasn’t changed: “In a bottle like a precious amethyst gemstone and dressed up with a bow, Extreme plunges straight into the heart of deep floral accords. Sambac jasmine, osmanthus, and rich vanilla unleash a sublime, sensual pleasure.” At Nordstrom, $135 for 50 ml…
