Givenchy Couture: Pi Leather, Play Leather. Opinions?

I'm curious if anyone has tried these. I've looked up the notes and they seem nice, but reviews are lacking and at the only place I know that sells them they're going for around $100 for 60mls, they also have the Lace Editions of Organza, Very Irresistable and Ange ou Demon. One thing I will say is that the bottles look fantastic.

Still, how many of you think these worth picking up? At the same place I could go niche for roughly the same price. They have a few M. Micallef scents I'm interested in, namely, and these are 100ml bottles for only $10-15 dollars more.

I'd go for the Micallefs

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the juice inside is identical to the original, just different packaging

No, these editions are different. Play and Pi have a leather note added, and I think the Lace Editions have some floral notes added that weren't in the originals.

I've sampled Play and Pi but not the others. I found the leather note most prominent in the early stages, growing weaker over time. I liked them both well enough, but decided in the end that they weren't sufficiently different from the originals to warrant purchasing.

Given the choice, I'd go for the Micallefs without hesitation.

Thanks for the advice guys. I think a part of me knew these would be a bad choice all along, but... the bottles... they're so nice! I mean I'm not even all that fond of Play or Pi. I think I'll go for the Oud and Rose and the wood one by Micallef instead, or maybe Anteus, ahh there's a lot to choose from.
