thanks for dropping by.
To be honest ...Ensoleille,<br /><br />thanks for dropping by.<br />To be honest I don't know what they're thinking. Nocturnes was very accessible to many in both style and distribution, so why change it? The new design says nothing to me. I hope you find the edition you love at some shop forgotten under the counter waiting for you to buy it and enjoy it to the fullest.

One of the names contemplated for this perfume was "Zelda" so the bottle design makes sense.

(Thanks for the wishes, things are OK I suppose, start of the academic year and all)<br /><br />I believe the whole line will be rebottled: it makes sense, since they're changing things, it would look unfinished otherwise. So as always grab whatever you like while you can.

Could it be that they didn't think of that? I know that the L'Artisan caps were redesigned years ago from the gold gilded ones into the more "functional" screw-looking ones to appear more "unisex" Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-34389232176713014202013-09-12T12:47:27.585+01:002013-09-12T12:47:27.585+01:00they simply look "dumbed-down". generic....they simply look "dumbed-down". generic. most of my male friends who wear perfumes originally marketed to women don't care if the bottles are not "masculine"...i think they are going for a modern look, but personally i don't think it's worth it.nofixedstarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514617120008201743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-16954189028481490262013-09-12T12:41:17.568+01:002013-09-12T12:41:17.568+01:00"the fact remains that..."

The look is totally sparse and would fit a niche brand like Le Labo or Montale or something but NOT Caron. They would look totally at odds besides the Baccarat urns for the extrait too and I fear what that might mean about the urns! *knock on wood*<br />Surely Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-56323169074537552992013-09-12T11:49:36.747+01:002013-09-12T11:49:36.747+01:00Elena-

So hard, masculine and uninviting; so against all that is Caron - which is 100 years of feminine. I worked for Caron in the States in the '80's and have a love for the brand and loved the peppercorn bottles so beautiful and such a signature. I don't get it.
