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.

Kinda like the black star but don’t care for Angel. Why are the EL compacts sooo expensive? I really don’t get it.
I have no idea — I do like some of them, but they never look that expensive in person.
I don’t either other than they are a hot collectable. I have a friend who collects them (over 100) and it’s not the perfume it’s just a packaging. I think they look sort of cheesy in person but god I would never tell her that! She keeps them in a curio just for display, I don’t think she’s ever used the solid scent.
Wonder if they have actual resale value…
Honestly, they look like something Avon would put out for 20 bucks or something.
It looks like one of those Ninja throwing stars:o
Hey, so it does!
“Crystal-inspired”? Would that be Swarovski crystal-inspired?
That cracked me up.
“Crystal-inspired cap” sounds like a plastic cap to me
Or perhaps a glass cap that isn’t lead glass?
It really is comical that they felt it would be a selling point to tell us it has a plastic cap, like every other fragrance.
LOL, see Versace Bright Crystal cap:D.
Love the Angel Black bottle.
