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.
Due to launch in May, new limited edition items for Annick Goutal Petite Cherie will include an Eau de Toilette with a polka dot ribbon, a rollerball, and the adorable solid perfume compact shown above. (via ellecanada, shopping-premiereavenue)

I love the solid for Petite Cherie – it’s very retro. It kind of reminds me of my retro blue bottle of Youth Dew, same kind of 50s feel. Sadly, solids don’t really seem to work on me, although I love many of the compacts they come in.
I love it too…hope they’ll do some more like that. Would LOVE a nice purple one with Mandragore!
ohhh, that would get me too! Anything purple just calls to me lately….I think I’ve worn a purple sweater of some sort for the last week…including today (different ones, I promise
)
I *love* that compact! I don’t do solids either, but I wonder if the pear is less volatile in solid form? I’m sure it’s not, but I can use that as justification to buy something that cute.
Works for me!
Ditto all that (except I have no Youth Dew).
Hi Cynthia,
I love my old YD bottle too, I have one that belonged to my grandmother from years ago.
Can I just say-major lemming for the AG solid…. That is my fav color of blue…..
The Petite Cherie rollerball might be nice too. Wouldn’t mind a Mandragore Pourpre rollerball either if anyone at AG is listening! Yoo hoo!
Oh, what a cute little compact!!!
Yep!
Love that compact, and the darker seafoam dots match my sweater today! Must mean I’m supposed to buy it….
I’m cooing over it too. (Not that I’ll actually buy it, I’ll just coo.)
I’m sure that’s what it means.
Rapple-it’s a sign!
The AG compact is charming, but so is that Pucci jar. Or– what is it exactly? Is there a spray mechanism underneath that psychedelic mushroom cap?
As I recall, it is a spray underneath. I love those Pucci bottles, too, just hate the juice, or I’d have one.
I have the original bottle (well, not “original” original – just from this incarnation of Vivara) and it is really cute. I like the juice, although I haven’t worn it for awhile – it isn’t really super easy to hold and spray though.
Yep…that big thing is the cap.
You know, I still want the yellow Vivara Variazione “Sole” just for the yellow cap. The juice wasn’t too bad either — jasmine + tomato leaf.
They’re all real adorable! It’s too bad solids don’t always having staying power. I would love to give that patchouli atomizer a big squezze to see what it smells like.
OMG I want the Gucci just ‘cos of the monogrammed bottle. And I don’t even like the fragrance that much!
(Does that make me shallow…?)
Nope that makes me agree with you. That gucci bottle is too cute! I actually like the fragrance it smells great on my husband. His skin just adapts well to any fragrance.
I’ve been off and on interested in Reminiscence Patch since I got a big sample of it from beautyhabit last fall. It is a great solo patch fragrance that seems ahead of it’s time, although deep and rich too. About the time I was thinking of buying it: a) I got a decant of Noir Epices which really does patch so well, and b) Coromandel kind of swooped in and kicked it’s tushie. Poor Reminiscence Patch I think – but still a good patch fragrance. It is one of those fragrances that I’d wish someone would give me as a gift, so I could still have it!
Cormandel is the one Chanel I’d take to the desert island.
That AG solid is adorable! Sometimes solid fragrances work and some times they don’t. So I understand what some of you have been saying. However, one solid I LOVE is Habanita. It is much softer than the spray versions.
