			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I recently ran out of my Amouage Ciel sample after a couple wears. It struck me absolutely perfect for what they market it as &#8211; a fragrance to welcome spring with. The stars seemed to align as I got an email from <a href="http://www.lusciouscargo.com" target="_blank">Luscious Cargo</a> (they are fabulous by the way and reopening a brick and mortar store here in Central FL in a few months&#8230; I&#8217;m excited) that they had added a few scents and upped the discount on their clearance sale. I went onto their site to find an already discounted bottle of Amouage Ciel for Him in the older leaded crystal bottles, plus an additional 30% off. I knew that kind of discount on an Amouage wouldn&#8217;t find me again soon, much less on increasingly hard to find older packaging. I bought it. If you&#8217;ve never ordered from them before, I urge you to do so &#8211; their packaging is incredible. It comes filled with samples, raffia, candies, incense, dried orange peel, and lavender. It&#8217;s such a great experience to get a package from them.</p>
<p>The bottle is gorgeous, though the outer packaging is a bit hokey. While I really do like the newer bottles and great boxes, I feel like using plastic caps (on most&#8230; Silver is metal) and regular glass bottles seem to have a hard time justifying their packaging premiums. On this one, they also lost the azure blue color of the juice for a light golden in the new packaging, only keeping the blue in the small plastic gem in the cap (the juice looks greener in these photos than it is&#8230; sad little camera). Also, the sprayer on these older bottles is unmatched&#8230; it&#8217;s a full, luxurious spray that is really quite satisfying. Imagine a KSSSHHHT versus a PFFT. Make sense? Thought so.</p>
<p>Apologies for the less than optimal photos &#8211; both, BOTH of my digital cameras broke within two weeks of each other. I haven&#8217;t had a chance to get a new one yet and have all the strobes taken down, so the Sony point-and-shoot had to step in snapshot style.</p>
