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 Soir de Lune bottle is really so lovely, I think.
I am loving the Eau de Soir one!
me too – I love those colours together. It’s almost worth buying – anyone know if they butchered this one (reformulation)? R, I know you said they did to Campagne.
I haven’t tried it, no idea, sorry!
The glitter on the LE Flower Bomb bottles comes off on your hands.
Last year’s LE Angel bottles came with chipped and dirty crystals. There were a lot of frustrated shoppers returning them. Hope they’re better this year. The Angel sprayer tried to make up for it by giving out dollar store compacts, but shoppers were pissed.
So the FB bottle is just glittered, not the juice?
You mean this one, or the black one they did last year? (re: the Flowerbomb)
Last year’s was clearly glitter on the outside of the bottle. This one, I can’t tell.
It looked like the actual perfume was glittery. I don’t know why I care, I’m not even remotely interested in it.
I can’t quite tell, either, but it looks like the Flowerbomb LE has glitter in the juice; at least, it looks a lot like my daughter ‘s bottle Love’s Baby Soft Skin Glow Mist (except the Love’s has lavender and pink glitter, not just pink). Very princessy.
And don’t drop that Angel on your foot!
If it does have glitz in the fume itself, then AVOID.
I used to have a limited edition “spray scintillante” of Clinique Happy (yah, youthful folly either way) and the glitter clogged the spray within two days of owning it. Of course I’d bought it on an airport, so I couldn’t even return it. Ugh.
Ack.
ohhh!! I love the Soir de Lune Prestige bottle… price unknown is worrisome though. That means “Out of SmokeyToes budget….”
I have a feeling it’s more expensive than the Eau de Soir, which is already too spendy for me.
I really like the glitter pink Flowerbomb. I sure hope its just the bottle & not the juice that has glitter. Macys has a Viva solid for $55. Im wondering if there is a difference from the 2 cuz NM is $100! Maybe its bigger or something?
Thanks…they sure look the same, and $55 is much more reasonable — it isn’t a terribly fancy compact.
The Soir de Lune has got my vote for the best looking bottle.
It would make a nice pendant for a necklace too.
Yes, it would!
Putting my hand up for the Eau de Soir! I like me a bit of turquoise
Yep, me too.
LOVE the eau de soir bottle!!For the first time i would actually like to buy this for the bottle ( i have a little beit left of a very old eau de soir) However..i really appreciate things that are sold with a donation being made and i am a big supporter of breast cancer funds so I would also like to buy the CM (wihich I also happen to like the smell of) However..I would also like a whole lot of vintage stuff and some new stuff…..and btw i’de also like to send robin a vintage diorissimo…Nice to have dreams!!! I may print a picture of the eaude soir bottle and stick it up somewhere to enjoy!!! while i go about REAL life…
LOL…yes, a picture would work just as well!
Another vote for the Eau de Soir, which I have never sniffed.
I’m afraid I don’t love it. Original Campagne in that bottle, I would buy.
I wish the companies would do more solid forms of the existing perfumes. They’re usually priced well so it’s justified in spending the money, and the sillage is lighter so it makes some scents more wearable.
Agree! I do think there’s been more of them the last couple years.
The Angel bottler looks great. Fortunately I get a headache from the scent. I’d never spend 180€€€ for something because of the bottle. Honestly, I get a nice (small) piece of gold jewellery for that.
Yep, there are a lot of other things you could buy!
