Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2018, part 9

Posted by Robin on 3 October 2018 17 Comments

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 Giorgio Armani and Jo Malone.

Giorgio Armani’s Rose d’Arabie, done up in black and gold for the holidays. “Exclusive to Harrods this Christmas, Rose d’Arabie from Giorgio Armani is a heady floral fragrance, created as an ode to the essence of the majestic damascus rose.

Bandit is more of a stand-out ‘natural’ object that’s showy and hard to miss: a glossy chunk of red coral, say…or a hot-pink seashell the size of your head, a Haida basket full of aromatic betel nuts from India.

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 Chanel and Ferragamo, which don’t really add up to a “bunch” but you did not want to wait to see that Chanel bottle, did you?

Coming from Chanel in November, limited edition red bottles of No. 5 L’Eau and No. 5, both in 100 ml. I do not know the price or how widely they will be distributed…
