Soul To Squeeze ~ Kilian ?

First I've heard of it. Like you. wait with anticipation for news.

I'll take that info from Fragrantica with a grain of salt.

Your guess is as good as mine. People do say the darnedest things though!

Uh... tri3pod prefaces that comment with: "Just my "Absurd" imagination".

I think he was making a point that Furyo is good but underappreciated, such that if a niche brand like By Kilian buys over Bogart and repackages Furyo as 'Soul to Squeeze', it would become raved about.

Mystery solved!

I think precisely otherwise. If Furyo is indeed so appreciated, even the repackaged version will be very big news. And Furyo hardly shows up in people's recommendations (despite being discontinued), unlike say, Yohji Homme, Theorema, Attrape-Coeur etc.

And we need to read the review as a whole (it was posted Dec 2011, by the way):
Just my "Absurd" imagination:

Kilian bought the license of Jacques Bogart perfume, then repackaging Furyo with his extraordinary bottle - labelled it with beautiful name "SOUL TO SQUEEZE" and finally marketed it as "Paris Exclusive - Limited Edition"

Now people will love Furyo or..... "SOUL TO SQUEEZE"

P.S. I personally feel Soul to Squeeze is not all that beautiful a name, and does not fit the style of names of scents released so far. And in this age of Facebook and pervasive Internet presence, how is it possible we hear nothing about By Kilian's Paris exclusives?

No worries, david. After all, we are all here to discuss perfume, express our opinions, share our knowledge, and learn more about perfume. Disagreement is par for the course.

I have no particularly strong feelings against Furyo or for Furyo. I am merely pointing out that Furyo is not quite the cult fragrance, because in the years I have been reading the Basenotes forum, Furyo does not get quite the same attention as many, many other fragrances (including discontinued ones). It may be that Jacques Bogart is an under-rate house thus other better-known houses are usually offered as recommendations.

As for the By Kilian website, I have gone to take a look. I am assuming that by 'exclusives', you refer to Les Éditions Limitées. There is Le Set Découverte, a sampler set which comprises the ten fragrances of L'œuvre Noire (and the graphic is exactly two semi-circles of the same collection, but with the scents a little jumbled up): starting with the red one at the bottom, it is Love, then going clock-wise is Straight to Heaven, Beyond Love, Cruel Intentions, Love and Tears, Liaisons Dangereuses, A Taste of Heaven (green), Sweet Redemption, Back to Black, Prelude to Love (white one on top); and again Cruel Intentions, Love, Back to Black, Beyond Love, Straight to Heaven, Love and Tears, Liaisons Dangereuses, A Taste of Heaven, Sweet Redemption, and Prelude to Love.

And what I meant by pervasive Internet presence also extends beyond the control of Houses. I am sure fragrance lovers would mention every now and then about so-called exclusives. By Kilian is a well-known, if somewhat controversial, line/house, and its fragrances do create buzz. At the moment, for example, many people are talking about By Kilian's new release, Flower of Immortality. Had such a well-known house release, even if very discreetly, some exclusives, we would hear something about them (and there are all these fragrance databases and encyclopedias).

Incidentally, 'Soul to Squeeze' is the name of a song by Red Hot Chili Peppers. Hmmm...
