Karim Rashid Takes HUGO to the Next Level

hugo-man-exclusive-limited-editionFirst thing’s first: I just have to say, I absolutely love the smell of Hugo colognes. A much despised ex boyfriend of mine used to wear the original scent, and I love the smell so much that not even my loathing for him has changed that — how’s that for devotion?

Point being, I am extremely excited about the HUGO Man Exclusive, a limited edition that has the added touch of having its bottle and packaging designed by the innovative designer, Karim Rashid. HUGO Man Exclusive Limited Edition perfume is sure to be a best seller — and it will likely be a fast seller as well, because there are only going to be a thousand bottles of it available.

They will be available in a few days, on October 15. So, you better shop fast and start sniffing the bottles out now, because you will only be able to get them in one hundred outlets.

The Name’s No. 9 — Bond No. 9

harrods-bond-no-9-perfumesBond No. 9 has long been a bastion of luxurious fragrances, and they are nearly as well known for the ostentatiously awesome, innovative designs for the bottles in which their divine scents are kept. With Harrods for Him and Harrods for Her, the company has outdone even itself.

Insofar as the scents themselves go, nothing more needs to be said beyond the fact that Laurent Le Guemec, famed parfumer, created them. The fellows are provided a scent alive with sandalwood and musk, violet leaf and rhubarb leaf, lavender and chamomile, with a sprinkling of pimento leaves and star anise. For the fairer sex, the scent is a mixture of vetiver, neroile, tuberose, and a number of other spices and scents — even leather!

The real kicker here is the design of the special editions, which feature Swarovski crystals on the bottles — we’re talking 3.4 ounce bottles going for $625. Otherwise you can get 3.4 ounces for $230 and 1.7 ounces for $155.
