    Pfff, to be honest, I’m not tempted at all by such offerings… Now, if they would have released special edition mini’s of each perfume at a reasonable price (read, less expensive than normally would be the case), that would be a celebration! But they didn’t… Easy pass!

      Exactly. And they didn’t release my personal favorite anyway: Iris Poudre.

      I think it is a really handsome design, but perhaps more self-congratulatory than consumer oriented?

    I love this design but it’s not on any of my favorites.

      They hit on 4 of mine, but unless they bring it out in 15 ml I’m not biting 🙂

        R, they hit four of mine, too…same as yours I’m betting. Wish they’d keep the cheery caps on everything.

          Agree — much nicer caps.

    When I first glanced at the picture, the bottles looked like they were smaller and I got my hopes up. But the special edition concept does not does not budge their position on my try/buy list.

    Not sure about these, though I do like the caps. I know any limited-edition bottles have to include the Big 3 sellers–Ravageur, Carnal Flower, and POAL–but I wonder how they picked the other 3.
