Bunch o’ limited edition collector bottles 2018, part 4
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 Givenchy, Jo Malone, Guerlain, Lancome and Clarins.
From Givenchy, Ambre Tigré, “reimagined by artist Anna Borowski in an ephemeral collaboration”: “Created in a marriage of olfactory art made by the House of Givenchy and the creations of the talented designer, a collaboration rich in escapism and poetry, the warm and enchanting world of this divine scent opens with notes of sweet and sensual amber. Cistus labdanum is revealed with animalic and herbaceous notes to softly mingle with sweet, balsamic vanilla. Presented in a bottle that depicts a miniature cabinet of curiosities, gently spritz to savour in this luminous, mesmerising fragrance.” £1,100 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Harrods in the UK…

Looking back at my lists of favorite spring fragrances from 2008 and 2013, I’ve decided to do something different this time. I’ll never stop loving Après l’Ondée or L’Eau d’Hiver, but I gave myself a new assignment for this round: I sampled lots of new releases and chose ten that I’d want to continue wearing in the coming months. I’ve been feeling for a long time that I just can’t keep up with the tide of new launches, but this is my deliberate small effort at feeling more current (even just for one season)!
Spring is the season when I enjoy white florals the most, and Dawn Spencer Hurwitz Je Suis La Lune (I Am the Moon) is a jasmine fragrance that smells more like a creamy, slightly salty lily to me…
