A lemming for fans of Sisley Eau du Soir: the 2025 limited edition collector bottle. "Sisley’s Eau du Soir eau de parfum captures the aroma of flowers in the gardens of Alcazar in Seville. Mandarin and grapefruit hang ripe in the air, while notes of rose, jasmine, syringa and ylang ylang are embraced in the warmth of amber, patchouli and oakmoss – perfectly balancing delicate femininity and bold sensuality. Presented in a unique bottle illustrated by British artist and designer Luke Edward Hall, it’s sure to look as elegant on your dressing table as the scent it houses." In 100 ml Eau de Parfum, £236 at Harrods. (You can see last year's model here.)

From Lolita Lempicka, Mon Premier Parfum in the Mon Printemps limited edition: "Mon Premier Parfum, a contemporary bouquet of liquorice flowers with sensual notes of anise and violet, is a true invitation to travel and passion. An ode to femininity, it seduces immediately, intensely, eternally. To celebrate Spring, Lolita Lempicka has designed a new decor for its jewel apple. With this limited edition, Mon Premier Parfum takes on a pure white bottle adorned with ivy leaves, the iconic symbol of the brand. Sublimated by delicate spring flowers, Mon Printemps illustrates the beauty of the season." €104 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Lolita Lempicka. (You can see last year's model here.)

Guerlain's L’Heure Dorée, the second in the brand's series of limited edition bee bottles for Eid al-Fitr (see last year's Perle Impériale Millésime 2024): "In 2025, Guerlain repeats its Exceptional Rendezvous dedicated to the First Eid, a moment of sharing where tradition and modernity become one. For the 2025 Millésime, fine craftsmanship meets delicate fragrance. Draped in purple velvet and pearly sheen, it embodies the subtle alchemy between memory and audacity of which Guerlain has the secret. [...] The fragrance opens with luminous, spicy notes of cardamom before revealing a majestic rose, combining sweetness and passion. It is then enhanced by opopanine, Shalimar’s legendary amber accord, with sugar, coconut, and sandalwood." 2,095 were made, 125 ml Eau de Parfum plus 30 ml travel spray and funnel, $880.

If you were hoping for Diptyque's Orphéon to be done up in blue, voilà: "...its striking blue hues are offset with glittering silver to conjure up a thrilling, tumultuous night. The radiating facets of the design are a tribute to the effervescent ambiance of Orphéon, a legendary bar in Paris." At Bloomingdales, $240 for 75 ml. If that leaves too much extra cash laying about, you can spend $300 at Diptyque and get the same fragrance, blue label and all, in a carved oak presentation box.
