Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2011, part 7

Posted by Robin on 24 May 2011 11 Comments

    OMG! That big blue fist has to be the ugliest thing I’ve ever seen. Of course, the irony of a fist for a mans cologne is enough to make me laugh till I spit my coffee…it’s just too delicious a mind picture :D

      It must have been chosen as a way of mitigating any implications that wearing a fragrance under cuts a man’s hetero and macho status, or perhaps to have the opposite implication.

      On the one hand, it is ugly. On the other, I wouldn’t mind having one.

        I have to admit it’s kind of fascinating. Good thing I’m unlikely to actually run across it!

    I love these Diesel / Marvel collaborations. I want more. My brother is collecting them (he wears the fragrance, too, sadly).

      I cannot remember the fragrance, to be honest…

        Probably for the best. I was annoyed as he got complimented on that and I was wearing CDG Hinoki!

    The fragrance from Diesel is pretty much Chanel’s Allure Homme Sport. The bottle is weird, even the original. Looks like a baby fist
