Another Guerlain outing that is not my lemming but might be yours: the brand’s luxury wedding fragrance, Bouquet de la Mariée, recently released as Eau de Tulle for $250, here coming in at a cool €18,000 in a bottle done up by feather artist Julien Vermeulen and featuring gold mesh and Swarovski crystals…
The latest collector bottle of Sisley Eau du Soir, decorated by artist Marie-Victoire de Bascher. £238 for 100 ml Eau de Parfum at Selfridges.
Guerlain’s Muguet Millésime for 2026: “For the 2026 Millésime of this Exceptional Rendezvous, Guerlain continues the tradition by collaborating with Ateliers Vermont, a Parisian embroidery house founded in 1956. The neck of the legendary Bee Bottle is adorned with a silk taffeta bow embroidered with delicate lacebells, the center of which subtly reveals a crystal sparkle. // Since 2016, Guerlain’s Muguet has been composed by Thierry Wasser…”
Another lemming for fans of Dior J'Adore: "Inspired by the colorful, full-bodied floral bouquet of J'adore Intense, Milanese designer Madina Visconti has created a unique cap adorned with exquisite gold florals—a vibrant celebration of flowers. A poetic and masterful feat of goldsmithery. Each cap is crafted through the time-honored technique of lost-wax casting and dipped in 24-karat liquid gold before being meticulously hand-polished. Panzè—the designer's beloved floral motif—adorns the surface, artfully preserved in lustrous resin that captures vibrant gold, luminous pink and rich orange." 100 were made. If you have to ask...
Happily not my lemming: Guerlain's L’Heure Dorée limited edition bee bottle, in the third iteration for Eid al-Fitr (see: 2024 and 2025). "For the 2026 Millésime, the refined craftsmanship of the Vermont embroidery workshops meets the daring olfactory approach of Guerlain’s perfumers. The bottle, dressed in a deep black lacquer, is adorned with a pearl cascade, a tribute to Eastern traditions where pearls symbolise purity and elegance." 3,684 SAR for 125 ml plus 30 ml travel spray and funnel at Guerlain in Saudi Arabia.
