Bunch o’ summer flankers for 2011, part 3

Posted by Robin on 3 March 2011 16 Comments

If you missed them, see part 1 and part 2, or just scroll through the 'summer' tag to see more summer limited editions.

From Joop!, a summer version of Joop! Homme: "As edgy and sexy as ever, Joop Homme's limited edition summer scent Sexy in Pink makes an impact with sparkling and sensual cocktail notes. Colourful, quirky and extremely sensual, Sexy in Pink swirls in addictive and refreshing notes that settle like a second skin. The collectors bottle features an illustration by artist Jordi Labanta, a quirky and fun interpretation of the Joop 'Real Men Wear Pink' manifesto." With grapefruit, saffron and leather, in 100 ml Eau de Toilette. (via escentual)

 

From Givenchy, the Tropical Paradise collection for Summer 2011: Very Irrésistible Tropical Paradise Edition for women (an aromatic floral with anise, mint, passion fruit, rose, sandalwood and musk; 75 ml Eau de Toilette) and Pi Néo Tropical Paradise Edition for men (an aromatic aquatic with bergamot, grapefruit, grape leaves, palm leaves, saltwater accord, sage and cedar; 100 ml Eau de Toilette). (via parfum-femme.prime-beaute)

 

From Burberry, the annual edition of Burberry Summer for Women (shown above, "The limited-edition Burberry Summer fragrance for women captures the tranquil mood of a British summer morning. Fresh, sparking notes of pomegranate, orange and green leaf open the fragrance, while a bouquet of rose, freesia and lily of the valley reveals a sensual, feminine heart. The fragrance is wrapped into a soft veil of cedarwood, sandalwood and white musk.") and Men (not shown, "The limited-edition Burberry Summer fragrance for men captures the tranquil mood of a British summer morning. The freshness of yuzu leaves and mandarin opens up to the aromatic accord of mint, juniper berries and thyme. Warm notes of floated wood and gorse flowers develop in the heart. The fragrance evolves to a soft woody drydown of cedarwood and sandalwood surrounded by sensual musks and amber."). Both are available in 100 ml. (via nordstrom)

 

From Paul Smith, the 2011 version of Paul Smith Rose Summer Edition. Notes include bergamot, apricot, blackcurrant, rose, osmanthus, strawberry, amber, white musk and sandalwood. In 100 ml Eau de Toilette, due to launch in April. (via cosmoty.de)

    It is getting REALLY hard to keep up with all the Very Irresistable flankers. I don’t think I ever even saw the Winter one, which I found marginally interesting and wanted to try.

      The L’Intense is just out on counters, I think. It really is all too much.

    Irresistable? Hardly.

        I was once told that Macy’s sells two bottles of it per bottle of anything else back in 200…6…? The SA said it like it was a plus. :/

    Pink cocktail, saffron, and leather sound like a hot mess to me. I will go out of my way to sniff it though – they get points from me just for using saffron.
    I’m guessing the Paul Smith will be too expensive to buy just for the bottle. It’s very pretty.

      The PS bottle really is quite pretty.

    The Joop strikes me as kinda hilarious, since my late father used to wear the original, and he never, ever wore pink.

      a friend of mine is as we speak in Londen and the weather is great!! Our holidays in the last couple of years in England have always been quite nice. And we have been from Scotland to Devon. I love England!!
      to me better than the Spanish beaches, although the beach near Barcelona was very nice. But about the summer flankers: too much.

        I thought the Spanish beaches *were* like going to England for the summer. Benidorm… ack…

    Is that Joop even real? It looks fake with those pictures and strange fonts.

      I don’t know if it’s a “real” picture of the “real” product, but it is official — it’s also on the Coty Press website.

        If it’s the finished bottle, it looks really tacky.
