Today’s community project: wear something by Guerlain. What did you pick?
As always, do chime in with your scent of the day even if you didn’t participate in the community project.
I was going to wear Eau de Guerlain, but at the last minute decided to go with a dab of vintage Jicky extrait since I so enjoyed wearing Jicky Eau de Toilette yesterday. I smell fantastic again, but I’m much skankier.
Reminder: next Friday, August 22, wear something beachy…
Guerlain will launch French Kiss, a new fragrance for women, this month. French Kiss marks the 20th anniversary of Guerlain’s KissKiss lipsticks, and will join the Elixirs Charnels collection (Oriental Brûlant, Chypre Fatal, Gourmand Coquin, Boisé Torride and Floral Romantique)…
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.
Today’s post includes collector bottles from Lalique, Guerlain and Estee Lauder; a coffret from the newly reconstituted Le Galion line; a travel atomizer from Memo; and new packaging for Stella McCartney Stella, Boudicca Wode and the Lush fragrances.
From Lalique, the 2015 limited edition collector bottle of Lalique de Lalique…
No harm to the models (a paying gig is a paying gig)…but the print and video ads for the new Guerlain L’Homme Idéal1 are so daft! Believe me girls, there is nothing shocking, surprising, “dirty” or revelatory inside that bottle! (Maybe they’re just happy about the bottle, which everyone in Perfumeland seems to love.)
Guerlain hasn’t released a men’s pillar scent since 2008’s Guerlain Homme; and I just realized the last Guerlain men’s pillar scent I bought (recently) was 1992’s Héritage. Though I appreciate perfumer Thierry Wasser’s reformulations of Guerlain classics (and can’t wait to smell his sought-after Terracotta Le Parfum), I’ve never bought a Wasser perfume creation (which means nothing, except he and I have different styles/tastes)…
