Everything that Chanel can do Hermes can do...bigger

...And everything that Malle can do Hermes can do too. What am I on about? Well, this is what I stumbled upon in Le Figaro (translation is mine, i.e. bad): "24, Faubourg, Calèche, l’Eau des Merveilles, Bel Ami, Équipage, Hiris, Amazone (...) All find a new expression today and are joined together in a very beautiful collection, la grande bibliothèque «À la folie». With the manner of a literary editor [paging Malle], Hermès publishes all its fragrances in identical, generously-sized bottles (400 ml) of frosted glass, with a silver plated and engraved cap. Apart from the color of the juices, the only elements distinguishing the scents are the names on the label, just above the Hermès ex libris. (...) Collection «À la folie»: 24, Faubourg (eau de toilette and eau de parfum), Amazone, Calèche (eau de toilette and soie de parfum), Eau des Merveilles (eau de toilette), Élixir des Merveilles (eau de parfum), Hiris, Rouge Hermès, Bel Ami, Équipage, Rocabar, Terre d’Hermès, Eau d’Hermès, Un Jardin en Méditerranée, Un Jardin sur le Nil. €195.00-€295.00 for 400 ml." The collection is apparently sold at Hermes boutiques...somewhere. I could not find it at hermes.com, French, American, or any other. If you have seen the "bibliothèque", please report!
