Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2016, part 10

Posted by Robin on 21 August 2016 6 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 collector bottles from Hermès, Yves Saint Laurent, Tory Burch and Tom Ford.

Hermès Eau des Merveilles collector 2016

From Hermès, a limited edition of Eau des Merveilles: “With its bold lines in dazzling silver, this constellation suspended at the core of the Eau des Merveilles magnifying bottle invites us to follow our own star of destiny.” $146 for 100 ml Eau de Toilette at Bloomingdales…

Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles (& some other stuff) 2016, part 9

Posted by Robin on 14 August 2016 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 collector bottles from Tom Ford, Sisley, Yves Saint Laurent and Thierry Mugler; plus a new concentration of Versace Eros Femme.

Tom Ford Black Orchid Lalique

Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris advert

Yves Saint Laurent updated their 1983 classic rose, Paris, with Parisienne, a vinyl-accented modern rose, in 2009. I liked Parisienne, but I don’t think it ever gained any sort of major traction with consumers despite the steamy Kate Moss advertising. So now for 2016 we have Mon Paris, which is “about vertigo, love that makes you lose your senses”. The advertising features plenty of kissing, but little if any writhing, and Crista Cober keeps her clothes on — it takes Mon Paris a small step closer to the original underpinnings of Paris as a fragrance about roses and romance.
