Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2012, part 10

Posted by Robin on 29 May 2012 12 Comments

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.

Yves Saint Laurent In Love Again Crystal EditionYves Saint Laurent M7 Crystal Edition

From Yves Saint Laurent, In Love Again (left) and M7 Oud Absolu (right) in 80 ml "Crystal Edition" with "opulent encrusted lid". £200 and £185 respectively, at Selfridges in the UK.

 

Bottega Veneta purse spray

From Bottega Veneta, the new purse spray for their signature fragrance. In 20 ml, due to launch in June.

 

Clarins Eau Dynamisante 25th anniversary

From Clarins, Eau Dynamisante in a limited edition (200 bottles) to honor the fragrance's 25th anniversary. In 100 ml in a red sequined case, at Colette in Paris. €39 w/o VAT. And, "To celebrate the anniversary properly, 25 designers and artists like Jean-Charles de Castelbajac, Pierre Hermé, Matali Crasset, André, Fafi, and Soledad have given a new look to the historical bottle, their creations will be exhibited in our windows from May 28 to June 2, then auctioned off in September with profits going to the Clarins "Most Dynamic Woman of the Year Award" which supports women who dedicate themselves to improving the lives of children." (via colette.fr)

 

BRITNEY SPEARS fantasy twist

From Britney Spears, Fantasy Twist: "BRITNEY SPEARS fantasy twist combines two of Britney’s best-selling fragrances worldwide, fantasy BRITNEY SPEARS and its unforgettable counterpart, MIDNIGHT fantasy BRITNEY SPEARS, in one sleek and innovative bottle design. As the newest addition to the House of Britney Spears, BRITNEY SPEARS™ fantasy twist allows Britney’s fans to choose their scent with a twist of the bottle."

      Agree. Only one here that I want.

      (Ok, would take the M7, but would prefer w/o crystals)

    I think the YSL ones look a bit tacky if I’m being honest. Agree about the Botegga Veneta though and 20ml is a great size.

      At this point, almost all bottles w/ crystals look tacky to me.

    Bottega Veneta for me also. Britney’s offering looks like Insolence with a hole in it.

    Drooling for Bottega Veneta. I have to break out my sample this weekend to try it. This week, I have been using TF Violet Blonde. I was prepared to not like it, but surprisingly, I really really like it and it will likely be my next FB purchase.

    It may look opulent in the pictures but I have a feeling in real life those YSL bottles will be more tacky than luxe.

    The BV purse spray is tres chic!

    Clever packaging indeed on the Britney Spears but is anyone else reminded of the Be Delicious bottle?
