The sundae, called a “Bieber Bocker Glory,” is inspired by the top notes of Someday, and mixes in wild berry and vanilla ice cream, fresh pear, lavender sprinkles and even edible glitter. The treat will be on offer to customers at Harrods’ new Ice Cream Parlour cafe on the store’s second floor, and will cost 19.95 pounds, or about $32 at current exchange.
— The Justin Bieber-inspired sundae can be purchased at Harrods and the proceeds go to charity. Via Vogue, Polyvore Launch FNO Style Setter... Bieber's Someday Sundae... at Women's Wear Daily.
Wow. And I thought nothing could posibly make me want to try the perfume less than I did already.
I’ve sniffed a bottle at Nordstroms. Nothing could make you want to try it less than sniffing it.
Our job here is done, LOL…
I was very happy to see this… Until i realized that it was Bieber Bocker and not Bieber BLOCKER!
That’s how I read it, too, at first! Very disappointing.
LOL!
EDIBLE GLITTER!!!
Yes, thank you — that was the most important piece of news for me too. I don’t want to eat glitter, edible or no.
You can buy edible glitter in the cake decorating aisle at craft stores: it’s basically just tinted gum arabic in little sparkly flakes or cut into tiny shapes like hearts and stars, not scary at all. It’s actually sort of pretty. But neither expensive nor particularly luxe: I don’t quite understand why it’s being bragged about on such an insanely expensive dessert. It’s not like edible gold leaf or anything.
that much for ice cream?
how about, No? LOL
Yeah. Don’t know why it is so expensive.
I checked out a Best of London mag posting for Best Ice Cream in London. (I am planning a trip). Harrods was not listed as among the best ice cream. So most expensive, but not actually especially good. (The post says money from the sundaes will be sent to charity, but not how much or which one)
I would just like to point out that this… delicacy is only $3 cheaper than a 1 oz bottle of the perfume itself.
You can get the roll on for less!
That might be true but I’d rather pay a little more and get an ice-cream than be obliged to wear an icky perfume for months. (in whatever format it comes)
I’d try it.
I’d eat it if someone else bought it for me.
See, better than the frag – which I wouldn’t wear EVEN IF someone else bought it for me!
Just thinking about “edible glitter” triggers my gag reflex. While “Someday” was actually, rather pleasant in a speaks-to-my-inner-10-year-old kind of way I’m a bit disturbed that a perfume is now inspiring a food.
the edible glitter was the major selling point for me. and the lavender sprinkles, assuming they’re flavored with lavender and not just purple sprinkles.
I’ve had cookies with edible glitter (and with sprinkles that looked like silver balls) though, when students brought in cookies for their birthdays in elementary school, so it isn’t new to me. Maybe it didn’t exist before the 90’s…
The “glitter” maybe not so much, but sparky sanding sugars, metallic luster dusts and different forms of dragees and nonpareils (those little silver balls seem to have more names than actual uses) have been around for so long that it might as well be forever. I remember my mother baking with them in the early 80s, and the absolutely ghastly wedding cake in the picture of…well, my parents’ wedding, has silver and gold dragees. Er…my mother’s wedding dress was knee-length orange taffeta and peach chiffon, so hopefully that was the tail end of the 60s/beginning of the 70s.
Ahem … my apologies for breaking your edible-glitter-sprinkled bubble, but do you guys follow the news? If you had, you might have noticed noticed London’s burning – literally, unfortunately – under attacks of looting thugs. Dissatisfied people willing to destroy and kill to get a plasma TV, a pair of trainers and gangsta outfits.
Nobody mentioned killing for fragrance and it is doubtful plebs may be coming out of Harrods brandishing Boadicea the Victorious flacons, but still. Not exactly the best time to go out ice cream sampling…
This is a perfume blog. There are frequently terrible things happening all over the world…we pretty much stick to perfume. If you don’t want to read about perfume because you’re upset about world news, then don’t…posting rude comments doesn’t help anybody.
Did my comments come out as rude? Sorry for that. It was not my intention. Nor am I upset. I actually had a good laugh imagining a bunch of perfumistas attempting to bargain with the hooded hooligans outside Harrods, then with the riot police guarding Harrods, just to sample glitter ice cream.
I know this is a blog about perfume, Robin, and I appreciate it more than you can imagine. The events in London were quite unexpected for everyone. But at this very moment this is the situation. Yes we stick to perfume but I saw no invitation for people to sample fragrance releases in Iraq or Libya.
So yes, we all love perfume, and London, but London is a bit unsafe right now. I’m sure things will improve soon. But for those travelling there right now for fragrance-shopping … would you rather not know?
I am so sorry — I thought you were chastising people for spending so much mental energy on the Bieber ice cream issue when there were more important things at hand. Mea culpa!
Not at all – otherwise I would not be faithfully following this blog for donkey’s years, plumping up the courage to make a contribution every now and then.
Absolutely agree with you that activists are not in sync with this blog’s purpose. I was merely pointing out that now may not be the best time to visit London. You may not be able to leave your hotel, they’re talking about instituting curfew etc. Just check the BBC site if this sounds too far-fetched.
I have entertained myself imagining a few fragrance fans stepping over rubber bullets and assorted riot debris, risking their lives and their Kellys to sample glitter ice cream. Most of the contributers I know have too much good sense for that, but you never know where a Legally Blonde may be lurking
HA…quite true enough.
Sounds like maybe things are calming down a bit today, hope that turns out to be true.
