The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 5 November 2019 15 Comments

What would you do with an extra €10,000? Here's one option: a liter of Guerlain Santal Royal, housed in one of the 22 numbered collector bottles decorated by artist Tarek Benaoum to celebrate the fragrance's 5th anniversary.

    *Very* pretty bottle. I won’t be one of those 22 people, but I wish happiness with the perfume for those 22. :)

    Very pretty bottle, but what would one do with a liter of any perfume, exactly?

      Stick a few reeds in it & use it as a room diffuser I’m sure ?

    Nice bottle! And cheaper than the 190th Anniversary Bee bottle. ?

      Wow! I saw a picture of the 190th anniversary bottle on facebook, no idea that it cost over 10k euros. OMG.

    Very pretty bottle. If I had 10,000, I would rather have Liu or L’Huere Dr Nuit instead..

      I have a very long list of things I’d do with the money, none of which involve perfume!

        I could too and there is more than just a pretty bottle. I just wish I had 10 grand to spend frivolously.

    Very pretty bottle, but would rather have a decent newish car.

      With the U.S dollar equivalent of 10,000 Euros, I’d finish paying off the no-longer-so-new car that I have and put some towards other bills. And I’d probably spend some frivolously, but really I’d want to put perhaps three-quarters towards real life grown-up expenses. I manage, but I think most of us would find “extra” money nice. :)
