    You've got to (well, I've got to) respect his commitment to absolute luxury–and, unlike Tom Ford, he seems to have a sense of humor about it as well. I'm not really interested in these, but I am really liking Straight to Heaven recently (hating Cruel Intentions) and I may want a bottle someday. Can't wait for Prelude to Love either.

    Interesting — I find both of the brands basically humorless. Maybe I'm missing something.

    Sonia Delaunay called. She wants her designs back.
    Oh, I'm in *such* a mood today… but this brand has always rubbed me the wrong way, and the collaboration with Ms. Matisse is not likely to change my attitude!

    Oh sure, I'll just add this to the Xmas list.

    I'm just so happy that I'm more than content to skip right over (more or less) reading about certain lines (like By Kilian) altogether.

    LOL! J, you would know — is Sophie Matisse well known? I hadn't heard of her, but of course that means nothing.

    Hope you're getting your *other* work done. (nag, nag)

    Hello Robin,

    Sophie Matisse is an American painter. She's actually Henri Matisse's great-granddaughter.

    See wikipedia (sorry only in French) : http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophie_Matisse

    Thanks, but I know who she is — was asking if she was well-known as an artist in her own right.

    Well, she's successful enough, although I don't think the major museums are collecting her work… The two things everyone knows about her are her pedigree and her style of appropriating / reworking other artists' masterpieces. It's all very self-referential and post-modern, etc.

    Gallery-goers will catch her art-historical allusions, but I don't know whether By Kilian's customers will. Maybe the limited edition includes a brochure or something to explain it.

    I want them to come up with a cheap, low-brow bottle so I can afford a bottle of Cruel Intentions. Don't give a flying fig about the packaging, can't afford the regular line, get queasy at the price of these limited editions: just a working-class perfumista who admires the juice.

    Agree — it's a pretty enough bottle but I don't much care. Certainly wouldn't pay that much for it even if I had the $$.
