Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2015, part 18
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.

The colors are signature Bottega Veneta: a brunito cap and collar, an ebano logo and a skin-colored leather ribbon clipped with a brunito butterfly. The Bottega Veneta Deluxe Signature Craftmanship bottle offers new luxurious gestures to experience the scent.” $120 for 50 ml Eau de Parfum at Bloomingdales…

They have friends with magazine-worthy island homes whose casement windows are eternally open to the sun and sky-blue sea. They drink fruity cocktails on the yacht’s deck.
Sniffing Elie Saab Le Parfum Resort Collection Eau de Toilette — whew! let’s just call it “Resort” for short — leads me to think that perfumer Francis Kurkdjian had a similar vision of this (to me, anyway) mythical community. Resort’s notes include orange blossom, jasmine, frangipani, fig, cedar and amber. It’s a well-heeled tropical party in a bottle…
