Today’s post includes special edition bottles from Loewe, Dolce & Gabbana and Cartier; a reformulation for Penhaligon’s Elizabethan Rose; plus a new Eau de Toilette concentration of Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium.

Loewe adds to the Colección Un Paseo por Madrid with the fragrance De la Mano por la Rosaleda, in a bottle by Rocio Porres: “Exclusive to Harrods, De la Mano por la Rosaleda by Loewe is an explosion for the senses, displayed in all of its magnitude through aromas such as gentle rose and warm musk.

Holiday fragrance gifts 2017, part 7

Posted by Robin on 20 December 2017 5 Comments

We wrap up (ha) our series on fragrance related holiday gifts with the luxury editions — this post is (relatively, sort of) affordable luxury, and following shortly will be part 8, the crazy expensive luxury edition. Not surprisingly, the bottles also get better looking as we move into the higher prices.

From Ralph Lauren, a holiday edition of Romance: “Sparkling and playful, the iconic glass bottle is dipped in ombré silver shimmer and fastened with a silver satin bow around the neck of the bottle.
