“Chill & Sole” is the worst name for a scent I’ve heard in a long, long time. I assume the “sole” referred to is the Italian word for “sun”, but it’s also the English word for a kind of fish, and since the first word is specifically English….
And the bottle looks like a cheap bonbon, and the price is ludicrous, even if it is what these sorts of things all seem to cost nowadays. Man, I am in a mood today.
I see your mood and raise you one heckle:
The bottle is designed to tip over and take everything around it down with it! Who designed this monstrosity?! 😂
In terms of tippability it’s horrible, but the amphora bottles for their Le Gemme series were even worse. Good thing they did away with them.
I likewise hate chill & sole. Then again, English is never the language of the primary market anymore, so it probably doesn’t matter.
Good grief, those bottles are appallingly ugly! I will stick to my Eau Parfumee au The Vert, their original (& classy) fragrance & fervently hope that, unlike quite a few of my all-time favourites (Eau de Camille, I’m thinking of you) it will not be discontinued!
How are these fragrances doing? I can’t imagine them selling all that well. Not here in Australia anyway.
No idea, but most of their marketing efforts for this series appear to be in the Middle East…so guessing that’s their target market?
