    I hear Chanel fans everywhere rejoicing — our favorite scents in smaller bottles … hooray!!!

      It’s better than it was, but 75 ml is hardly what I’d call a travel size! I am holding out for 30 ml 😉

        It’s a good size for the cologne, and maybe Bel Respiro, though.

          Yes! I’ll definitely be purchasing Bel Respiro in this size!

    I’m amused that they’re marketing them as being ‘perfect for travel’ which in comparison 75 ml I suppose is the travel sized version of the Les Exclusifs.

    Now to decide which one I want first. The only FB I own is No. 22 which still looks completely unused after over a year.

      Yes, like you’d put a 75 ml bottle in your purse! Ha.

        Why wouldnt you? The size of these bags i see women carrying around now, sometimes two at a time, is enough to fit the 1 Liter fountain sizes in!

        I’ve thrown many a 100ml bottle in my manbag… not exactly a purse though.

        Definitely happy about the smaller size here, though I have decants of the ones I love for now.

        Better for gift-giving too.

          Yeah, I’ll admit I’ve carried a bottle of Amouage around in my purse before, but that was because I didn’t want to risk it in my luggage — I wasn’t flying.

          I have made 5 ml decants of my perfumes for my purse or traveling. I HATE purses and only carry one when I have to. Unfortunately, women’s clothing is notoriously stingy with pockets, and there is sometimes no other choice. I carry the smallest possible purse, though and am constantly weeding stuff out to reduce the bulk.

            I’m with you on the purses — it’s like having a ball and chain. Supposedly the famous Vogue editor Diana Vreeland once tried to champion the notion of just stuffing the bare essentials in your pockets, but the handbag manufacturers (who advertised in Vogue) were none too happy.

        sheesh—75ml is the new purse size? I can barely fit a 10ml into my little swing bag…..now, my bff carries a Coach bag that could easily double for carry on luggage…she could lose one of those fountain doo-hickeys in there!
        the 75 ml is still a nice “personal” size for your collection…and then make a 10ml for your purse.
