The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 16 April 2025 11 Comments

Italian luxury menswear house Brioni celebrates their 80th with Brioni + Lalique Dualité: "Created by Brioni on the occasion of its 80th birthday, in collaboration with the illustrious crystal maker Lalique, the Dualité, Crystal Edition Perfume is a Limited Edition fragrance housed in 18 unique and signed crystal flacons. At the heart of this masterpiece lies an Extrait de Parfum composed by Master Perfumer Michel Almairac, built around rare and luxurious iris butter, which is crafted through a meticulous seven-year process (three years cultivation, three years curing, one more year to extract and produce the butter into a fragrant creation)." With ozonic accord, green apple, violet, ambroxan, iris, cedar, moss and amber, 340 ml for $41,250.

    Ambroxan + $41,250 = HIGHWAY ROBBERY!

      It is highway robbery no matter what, but I got held up at green apple and ozone accord and didn’t even make it to ambroxan.

      My favorite part though was in the video where they talk about patience, precision and artistry while banging away at the thing with a hammer. Poor voiceover timing 😉

        How did I miss the ozonic accord and green apple?!?

        And “banging away at the thing with a hammer” cracked me up. Now I can picture it without having to subject myself to it. Thank you😊

    I’m with Robin on the ozonic accord and green apple note. Yuck.

      Best way to ruin real orris root, assuming there is any real orris root.

    My order is in, and my bottle is on its way, signature required. I’ll let you all know my thoughts, of course.

      I would think someone from Brioni or Lalique would walk it right over to your residence 🙂

    You know I was kidding, of course. If they knocked $41,000.00 off the price, I might consider it if I was feeling particularly flush. But probably not.☺️
