In case the L’Atelier Truscelli bee bottle of Guerlain Imagine was too mundane for you, here's the Abeille Noire Édition Prestige / Black Bee Prestige Edition of Imagine, made by Baccarat and French jeweler Lorenz Bäumer. 22 were made, €25,000, due to launch next week. You can read more at The New York Times or Luxe Packaging Insight.

I almost dropped my phone because it looks like a … fly? I am not the target audience for this.
For some reason it is not as compelling to me in black…it looks better in the honey color they have used a couple times. Still, would rather have this:

And I thought it was fabulous, and am much more drawn to it than their bee bottles. How funny!
Oh good!! They have done this shape before and I do agree it’s fabulous, I just don’t like it in black.
That is so funny, before you pointed that out I thought it was fabulous, but now I see fly too!
Flies can be fabulous! I totally see the fly now, but I still think it’s gorgeous.
I instantly saw a fly too.
Fly here too. Not a fan.
I’m in the “Gorgeous at first, but now I see a fly” camp!
I don’t like this abstract bee form, which Guerlain has been using. But the article at Luxe Packaging Insight gives this info about the juice: “Imagine Guerlain – an extrait de parfum composed by Guerlain Master Perfumer Thierry Wasser. It blends notes of bitter almond, orange blossom, ylang ylang and benzoin.” That sounds very nice. If the bottle was made of regular glass and plastic, had that perfume, and cost at most $250, I’d nab it.
