Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2012, part 18

Posted by Robin on 25 September 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.

Hermès 24 Faubourg, Quadridge edition

From Hermès, 24 Faubourg in the Quadridge edition: ""Quadridge", the Hermés carré designed by Pierre Peron, adds to the saga a stylized modernity. This graphic and impactful edition of the 24 Faubourg bottle is a new play of light and gold. It shows a very Hermés drawing at the heart of the equestrian origins of the house." 100 ml for $165 at Neiman Marcus.

 

James Bond 007 fragrance, gold limited edition

The new James Bond 007 in a gold limited edition: "The golden anniversary is marked with the introduction of a limited edition deluxe golden bottle. Each bottle of 007 Gold Limited Edition exemplifies Bond’s impeccable finesse, offering a refined gold skin that is understated and luxurious." In 75 ml Eau de Toilette, £36 at Harrods in the UK.

 

Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy Platinum Edition

From Juicy Couture, Viva la Juicy in the Platinum Edition, "distressed to vintage perfection". In 100 ml Eau de Parfum, $98 at Macy's. (hat tip to jonr951!)

 

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Holiday 2012

From Viktor & Rolf, the Holiday 2012 edition of Flowerbomb. I do not know the size, but it's usually 50 ml Eau de Parfum (you can see last year's here). (via magazin.flaconi.de)

    Is it just me or does that bottle of Bond 007 look extremely cheap?

      It’s not just you. Hopefully it’s better in person. Then again, it doesn’t cost an arm & a leg either.

    This Faubourg bottle is way less attractive that the Merveilles limited bottles. :(

      I’m not a big fan of the horse motif over at Hermes, but I guess it’s more traditional than the EdM bottles? But I’m with you, I’d rather have the EdM bottles.

        But will also add that I think they’ve done prettier ones in the past:

      LOL…yes, it is terrible! (At least for my part — I don’t think there’s anything they could put Coach Poppy in that would make me want to buy it!)

          Ah, but this could make me want J’Adore:

            Oh Robin, what have you done to me?! That is BEAUTIFUL! Although, I never really tried the Absolu. Any good?

            Oh, so sorry — I haven’t either! I’m not a huge fan of J’Adore, although I do think it’s a considerable improvement over Coach Poppy. But hey, forget you ever saw it — it’s outrageously priced!

            Oh, I didn’t even look at the price! Yeah, not happening. And all is right with the world again. Haha! : )
