New Year's greetings from Hermès (a bit late).
Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2019, part 2
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 special edition bottles from Hermès, Zadig & Voltaire, Cartier, Givenchy and Yves Rocher.
From Hermès, the Charming edition of Twilly d’Hermès. “Choose the limited edition Charming Twilly, the Hermès girls’ lucky charm. A pretty horseshoe dangles from the silken ribbon as a distinctive sign, a liberty of expression.” In 85 ml Eau de Parfum at John Lewis in the UK…
The daily lemming
At Selfridges, what appears to be the latest Flacon H limited edition of Terre D’Hermès, shown in what they call 100 ml Eau de Parfum (but is more likely 75 ml Parfum) for £93. There is a matching 100 ml Eau de Toilette for £84. I'm not picky, I'll take either.

Round, straight, soft, tough
I don’t know how to really explain this, but I touch the texture with my eye, whether its silk or leather of cashmere. For example, in my building, I work on the second floor and on the ground floor we have the stock for the men’s collection, and very often I go alone to the atelier to touch and smell the fabrics. They have a special sensuality, and when I talk about my perfume I often use words related to the clothing, like round, straight, soft, tough.
