The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 5 May 2021 15 Comments

I'm sure this is what my family has planned for Mother's Day: Le Flacon aux Abeilles par Begüm Khan from Guerlain. 13 were made, featuring 24-carat gold-plating hand set with 6,500 stones, and holding a Thierry Wasser juice (Songe De La Reine) with mandarin, pink pepper, fig, iris, vetiver, cedar and sandalwood (whatevs). A bargain, no doubt, at €10,000. Below the jump, a close up.

      The work is stunning. It isn’t really my taste though, so if my family got me something else instead it will be ok 🙂

        Your family called, and they told me they’ve got something else in mind for you on Mother’s Day, just FYI. 🙂

    Wow. That’s a lot, in all possible ways. I love the way they staged the photos – it looks like an old painting.

      Most of her jewelry is a lot, in all possible ways 🙂

    If I had that kind of money, I’d insist they fill it with Mitsouko.

      If you had that kind of money you could just pour whatever’s in there down the toilet and refill it from your liter bottle of Mitsouko 😉

    All these Guerlain Bee bottles take my breath away… One day I will own but it’s going to be more in the $280-$300 range 🙂

    But for 10000 they might as well make it decorated with gold not just gold plate 🙂
