I want the woody one.
The Vetiver? Honestly, when there are 9 I don’t want any.
I second that Robin. Isn’t it the second line, that is so bonkers to release that crazy amount of fragrances?
Somebody just did 8, but really this happens all the time. I don’t know why — it really seems counterintuitive to me as a marketing strategy, but what I know about marketing perfume is, of course, nothing.
It’s the ensure more chances of being selected by retailers. A friend was explaining this on a thread we had at facebook, that they prefer to pick lines with more fragrances, to maximize the amount of different clients you might reach.
Gosh. Believe you but it’s weird…you would think the sort of niche retailers that would carry the line would already have such a huge selection of fragrances.
Anybody else finding it interesting that some of the names are French, a couple are English, and one is Spanish?
Somehow I got it in my head that these were all home fragrances, and I was thinking that Alma de Rosario or Musc Eternel might be nice in the house – they sound pleasantly clean. But as personal fragrances they’re not really ringing my bell.
Yes…I had to check the box images to make sure Colette was not “translating” the names for me.
Alberto Morillas is one of my favorite noses and I hoped he might have been a little more adventurous in the line from his bespoke brand. I wish he would revisit the idea of Omnia and do it with more saffron or all naturals or a path not taken with one of his many wonderful, mainstream creations.
