    The fragrances won't do anything for me but those bottles sure look like something that could.

    And who's to say that all young adults view love as a game?

    They definitely look like a vibrator. Ridiculous, but somehow also funny.

    They look like two feet.

    I like Annick Menardo for creating lovely stunning Hypnotic Poison and sometimes I wonder what happened to her creativity thereafter :-(

    They do look like feet. It's official, I'll never be able to like these bottles now.

    R, FWIW, I too like the bottles, no matter what they (ought to) represent. :)

    I wonder what they look like in real life.

    I automatically thought of this thing, which strangely shows up in gift catalogs of all kinds, squeezed in the pages amongst the denim totebags and embroidered Christmas sweatshirts:

    I think the bottles look like video game controller-thingies. Just me, then?

    LOL — it's worth nothing now, I'll always see them like feet or something sillier…just as I can't see the Thierry Mugler Alien bottle as anything but a penguin ever since somebody commented that it looked like one. The power of suggestion…

    Oh well, my girlfriend also said “feet”… I guess you and I are stuck with the feet visual then, eh?

    And yeah, I blame the Alien comment thread on here for the penguin visualization! But do love the juice, though ;-) Have you tried the newest flanker? It's a lovely & less sweet penguin.

    They are just like the Azzaro Now bottles.

    Just opaque glass instead of clear.

    Perhaps the picture of the Azzaro Now was not as “suggestive” as this one?

    This reminds me of a Sex and the city episode, samantha goes to the sharper image to return a faulty vibrator, and the sales clerk says “It's a NECK MASSAGER, the Sharper Image does NOT sell vibrators!!!”

    lol -sorry about the penguin thing…. it seemed so OBvious!

    These bottles are total vibrator, in the look-I-have-a-vibrator-that-is-also-art category. And they are so ergonomic!

    I also think they look like videogame joysticks. But vibrators also work well in this case rsrsrsrsrs

    It's just me or the bottle and concept looks like a cheap copy of the original Emporio Armani Duo?

    Why some houses can't launch anything that worth trying? :(

    My… the bottles do look like… something….

    Now, call me crazy, but I think I could like the for Women one, based on the notes. However, since green apple is a death sentence for a perfume as far as I'm concerned, for Men can be forgotten.

    kaos is right that they look just like the Azzaro Now bottle. I think they all look like electric razors (think Norelco).

    That's funny — nobody said a word about those bottles, but then, they were announced in the same article as the Chanel Exclusifs, which dominated the discussion.

    Only quickly on paper — it's at Bloomies, and I don't even bother asking for samples at Bloomies anymore. But liked it much, much better than the original, based on that quick smell.

    First thing I thought was “Those look like vibrators.” so I'm glad to know I'm not alone in that. I also find the positioning of the women's scent next and below to the men's a bit *ahem* I'm hoping this trend for apple scents will fall out of favour soon,
