Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2018, part 5

Posted by Robin on 22 June 2018 10 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 special edition bottles from Gucci, Jo Malone, Bond no. 9 and Guerlain.

From Gucci, Flora Gorgeous Gardenia in yellow (and you can still find the pink edition from 2017 in stores). "Now presented in a new yellow painted bottle, the fragrance is delivered in limited edition packaging highlighting flora and fauna from the botanical Flora print, designed by artist Vittorio Accornero in the 1960s." 50 ml Eau de Toilette for $78 at Gucci.

 

From Jo Malone's Queen of Pop collection (see the bubble bath here), 30 ml bottles of Amber & Lavender, Red Roses, and Peony & Blush Suede. $70 each at Sephora.

 

From Bond no. 9, Spring Fling in a Swarovski edition (and there's another one here): "Focused on a concept: the profusion of vibrant florals throughout New York City’s green spaces, from the High Line to Central Park, from Bryant Park to Washington." At Harrods in the UK, £450 for 100 ml.

 

From Guerlain, Mon Guerlain decorated by jewelry house Truscelli with a clover featuring 5 carats of amethysts. 100 ml for €560.

      But I would have loved it more if the floral design from the box were on the bottle.

      I do too, although likewise agree with mrsdarcy — the box is prettier!

    I like to pretend I don”t care what a bottle looks like, but I definitely do. That may be a fun Friday Scent of the Day poll (assuming it’s not already been done) – Wear a perfume from the bottle you most admire? Just a thought.

    Looks like we’re now getting massive doses of ultra violet.

    The Bond No.9 bottle is fugly. The pink crystals look like left-over brain matter after having been pecked over by birds.

      Agreed, it looks like an art project gone terribly wrong.
