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.

Solid perfume pencils? Has that ever been done before?
I can't remember ever seeing any, but maybe I missed it. EL also has some solids in tubes — rather like thin lipsticks — currently out in travel retail stores.
I love the solid perfume EL tubes! I wish they'd bring them back to regular department stores.
They look cool — nicer than these, actually, although the idea of a “pencil” is nifty.
I love tha Hermès website artwork, it's so whimsical! And perfume pencils are a great and portable idea!
My purse is already wayyy too heavy!
I love the art there too…although this particular bottle design is not my favorite. But wish they'd do a Sur Le Nil with some of her drawings!
Okay for the pencils but what happens to the shavings? Isn't this a terrible waste?
I remember the Hermes site had an animated piece on their website for the release of Un Jardin après la Mousson. It was wonderful!
Yes, it has: if I'm not mistaken, Mary Quant had one smelling of Havoc, years ago.
Thanks J, nothing is ever new, is it?
I might have missed that one! Did see the drawings for Mousson though.
I was thinking the same thing about the waste!
A nice idea perhaps would be to take some of the shavings and include them in a letter or card. Or even to “write” on the letter/card with the pencil.
