240 euros???? They sound OK/possibly really rather nice (the ones I could be bothered reading all the notes) but 240 euros for 50ml???? And isn’t wenge a wood rather than a colour. Alright, I know I’m being picky now 😉
They’re really spendy. His first scent was not that expensive, although it wasn’t cheap — it’s $185 for 50 ml at Henri Bendel.
And assume they just didn’t want to use the word brown? It’s silly.
Enough already! It’s releases like this that almost make me want to give up and trawl evilB@y for vintage frags the rest of my life. Harrumph.
You know, I’m having trouble putting my finger on exactly what seems so cynical about this launch, but I agree — it just seems sort of pointless. But for all I know, they’re fabulous scents.
Just six?! Really? There are so many other great colors, even if to go just for the standard Web-safe colors 😉
HA, true.
