Oh my goodness. Mitsouko is 100 this year, and just look what Guerlain is doing to celebrate: a bottle decorated by the Hakuichi gilding workshop and calligraphy artist Suitou Nakatsuka. 3099 were made — surely one of them will turn up at TJ Maxx, right?? 75 ml, €650.
I had a bottle of Orange Sanguine and I gave it away. I don't need another, but if the original bottle had looked like this, I likely would have kept it. "Atelier Cologne presents its first limited edition to celebrate its 10th anniversary in exclusive collaboration with artist Lucky Left Hand. Fresh and lively citrus. Orange Sanguine: The scent of freshly cut blood oranges: sunshine in a bottle!" The Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine 10-Year Anniversary Limited Edition is $135 for 100 ml at Bergdorf Goodman.
I did not like Kenzo World, but I do like the pretty limited edition Fantasy Collection bottles, for the Intense (top left), Eau de Parfum (top right) and Eau de Toilette (bottom center). You can find them all, in 50 ml, at Nocibe in France.
Somebody, somewhere, must be lemming this limited edition collector bottle of Mon Guerlain, featuring a gold clover decoration that echoes the shape of the bottle cap? €82.50 at Galeries Lafayette in Paris.
Pretty! Guerlain's 2019 iteration of Muguet: "A fresh floral fragrance in a unique Collector's bottle hand wrapped in a meticulously crafted silk embellishment. Guerlain re-imagines the iconic Muguet Eau de Toilette every year in celebration of Spring. By collaborating with an artisian [sic], exceptional know-how and technology meet to create a deluxe vintage. This year, Sericyne — established at the heart of the Cévennes, the historic cradle of French silk culture — has fashioned an incredibly delicate silk adornment. An innovative, meticulously crafted masterpiece born of unique patented know-how, it is produced by some twenty silkworms, then stamped with a scattering of 69 bees and gilded with the name of the perfume." If you've got an extra $490 laying around, you can pre-order it now at Saks Fifth Avenue.
