If you have not had a chance to see it, the bottle for the new Bleecker Street fragrance is quite striking. Created by Dave Apel, the fragrance is going to feature notes of violet leaf, black currant, jasmine, cedarwood, cinnamon, oakmoss, suede, patchouli, amber and vanilla. It will officially launch this fall.

I adore their bottles sadly not the juice as much. I adore the Chinatown bottle. This is also rather funky!
Have a super weekend dear V!

Dear N, the bottles are truly gorgeous. Laurice is definitely a very creative individual. It makes a difference if the package is well-designed. I love the Chinatown bottle as well, and I actually quite liked the fragrance.
Hope that your weekend is wonderful!

Wow! I agree with parislondres. This is really funky!

What a groovylicious bottle!
Too bad I don't like the fragrances.
Thank you for showing this to us, V!
Love you!

I think I will be the only one to say that I don't like the colors on this bottle, I am sorry, don't hate me people. That shade of green gives me a headache. The perfume itself sounds interesting. Did you have a chance to try it, V?

Dear V, I would also like to know if you had the chance to try the new Bond No.9 fragrance, it sounds very interesting. And the bottle´s simply gorgeous!

I will most likely buy it whether I like the fragrance or not (although I hope I do like it!) I just had to buy the Chinatown and Eau de New York bottles for the design, they are like works of art to me. Fortunately I also like those 2 scents. I just wish my favorite, New Haarlem, came in a fabulous bottle!

T, yes, that is very true!

Linda, I like how these bottles are completely unconventional, even though the colours and the pattern are not what I would have found appealing in theory. She has a whole theme going, and it is great.

R, you are welcome! I have been curious to see the bottle for a long time.
Have a great weekend!

M, it is impossible to hate you, and it is impossible to hate someone just because they do not like the bottle! :) I tried the fragrance, and here is my review (more like preview, because I wore it only once, which does not qualify as a real review for me):

C, it is a very nice fragrance. I thought that it was if not quite gourmand, then possessing a sweet juicy edge. It also has lots of green herbal notes, which is a nice touch.

Tara, you are the second person who recently mentioned Eau de New York. Now, I really have to try it. I do not remember its bottle, but the bottle for Chinatown is very nice. You have great taste!

The Eau de New York is in a gorgeous pearly white opaque bottle with multi-colored round disks that are supposed to resemble subway tokens (I have never seen an actual NY subway token). It's fabulous.

Oh, that bottle is great! I certainly understand why you would want it.
