From Caron, a limited edition collector bottle of Pour Un Homme for the Gitana 18 trimaran: "Caron unveils a limited edition of the iconic Pour Un Homme de Caron, the bottle design brings to life the original work conceived by the artists Florian Quistrebert and Michaël Quistrebert for the new artistic signature of Gitana 18: a matrix of dots forming vibratory lines. The label of the bottle is produced from recycled carbon, selected from production scraps of the trimaran." €129 at Sephora in France.
