The end of one world
My favorite fragrance being taken off of shelves may not seem like the end of the world, and I guess it’s not. But it’s the end of one world, a world that I built for myself. Beauty and fragrance are so much more than presentation for others. It’s a love letter to ourselves, a map of how we move through the world. It draws the lines of the person we want to become until we fill them in.

The daily lemming
Happily for me, I do not love this bottle in the slightest, but perhaps it is a lemming of yours? From Louis Vuitton, Symphony in the Murano Art Edition of Frank Gehry's design for the brand's Les Extraits collection: "Elevating fragrance to art, the new bottle is created in collaboration with legendary architect Frank Gehry and Glass Master Simone Cenedese. A remarkable transformation of Gehry’s design for the iconic Les Extraits Collection, each limited-edition is as unique as nature itself, resembling a blooming flower that poetically embodies his trademark free-flowing, yet sculptural forms." 40 were made, I do not know the cost. (Bear in mind that the "regular" bottle of Symphony is $530.)
