Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles (& some other stuff) 2014, part 32

Posted by Robin on 28 December 2014 17 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. Today's post includes collector items from Jean Paul Gaultier, Clinique and Burberry, plus a new concentration for Giorgio Armani Sì.

Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male and Classique, pirate editions

From Jean Paul Gaultier, Pirate editions of Le Male and Classique, due to launch in early 2015. (via diarydirectory)

 

Clinique Happy in Bloom

From Clinique, the latest iteration of Happy in Bloom. (You can see the 2012 version here and the 2013 version here). At Nordstrom, $49 for 30 ml.

 

My Burberry Noel edition

From Burberry, My Burberry in a holiday edition with red bow. In 90 ml Eau de Parfum, at Printemps in Paris, €113. (If you need more than 90 ml, Sephora in France has a 900 ml bottle for €2500).

 

Giorgio Armani Sì Eau de Toilette

From Giorgio Armani, Sì in a new Eau de Toilette concentration. The notes include Neo Jungle Blackcurrant Essence, green pear, bergamot, mandarin, neroli, freesia, rose, musks, ambery woods and patchouli. In 30, 50 and 100 ml; due to launch in February. (via nicematin)

    I am surprised that Jean Paul Gaultier never did a Pirate edition, for Classique and Le Male before.

      I can’t think of one since I started blogging, but it’s hard to believe he hasn’t done one!

      Sephora in France carries a fair number of huge bottles, mostly Guerlain:

          And it’s parfum! So here again, we just need someone willing to organize a 30-way split, and everybody gets an ounce of parfum for 150 Euro each! 😉

      You never know when an extra 810 ml of My Burberry might come in handy!

      Ha! “Jungle essence” is just Mane’s version of headspace technology.

      I thought the same thing. Because classic jungle essences are just passé.

    I wish I liked Classique better. Can’t bring myself to buy it just for the bottle.

      Yup. The bottles are often cute, but the frag does nothing for me.
