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.

The Kurkdjian sounds absolutely lovely, but I suspect it may be just a tad out of my price range……
LOL…yeah, I suspect I lack the necessary cash too!
According to the lovely website Basenotes, the bottles go for the very reasonable price of 11,000 USD. No, don’t wipe your screen, you got it right 🙂 11,000 USD. That’s when the British expression “Blimey” comes handy!
See below, there are also refills (not that I can afford them either).
Exactly what I thought.
Ooooh, those Acqua di Parma leather purse sprays are so chic! And so is the price! Yikes!
They are adorable, esp. the purple. Would love to have one.
Those Kurkdjian bottles are indeed lovely – the gleaming chunky stoppers… And is that sealing wax I spy on the middle one? I burnt myself sealing the back of a greetings card the other day with a stick of wax and thought what an archaic way to injure yourself – and to communicate, indeed!
Oh! I thought it was a bead but I’m sure you’re right.
Yemeni frankincense tears in a Saint Louis crystal bottle…. I’m drooling all over the keyboard!
Sorry!
I wonder if the Kurkdjian can be bought without all the ‘bling’…
No idea, but sort of doubt it.
I contacted them and the gold/platinum bottles are 5500 euros, while a refill is available for 1100 euros. Like Octavian said on his site, the refill price is not bad considering it’s 200ml of extrait….
Thanks!
Love the Acqua di Parma leather purse sprays!
Yep.
I have a By Kilian purse spray, which, as Joe pointed out, is really too heavy for one’s purse. However, it IS quite attractive AND opaque, so I can keep it out on my dresser, unlike all my pretty bottles. Jus’ sayin’ to all those coveting the charming Acqua di Parma purse sprays 😉
