This pretty collector bottle from Aerin was actually released earlier this year for Mother's Day, but you can still get your hands on one: "Mediterranean Honeysuckle gets a playful, floral makeover, inspired by the vibrant energy of spring’s radiance. The limited edition packaging design features radiant poppy blossoms on the signature beveled bottle." $145 for 50 ml at Estée Lauder.
The almost-daily lemming

The not-quite-daily lemming
Parfum d’Empire celebrates their 20th anniversary with a limited edition bottle of their first fragrance, in Cologne concentration: Eau de Gloire. "To celebrate Parfum d’Empire’s 20th anniversary, what could be more logical than to go back to the house’s first iconic fragrance? Inspired by Eau de Gloire, this new creation captures the radiance of citrus fruits prized for their freshness and brilliance. Sparkling, soaring, bright, EAU DE GLOIRE COLOGNE is gorged with citrus essences of such a precious quality that no other house would dare to use them in such lavish amounts. An overdose of bitter orange, but also bergamot, mandarin… Laurel, a nod to Parfum d’Empire horseshoe-shaped laurel crown, blends with incense, a symbol of glory, and the aromatic freshness of myrtle to evoke the Corsican maquis." In 100 ml, €162.
The not-quite-daily lemming
A pretty, pretty, pretty new bottle of Shalini Parfum Iris Lumière: the Aurora flacon. "Shalini Parfum is pleased to announce the launch of The Aurora flacon on May 2023, a limited edition flacon for Iris Lumière, the fifth fragrance in the collection of the opulent Pure Parfums De Extraits. This series is created with Master Perfumer Maurice Roucel and is inspired by the Moods and Passions of the soul." $1,100 (oops! and it's probably going to evaporate through that bulb atomizer anyway) for a signed and numbered (11 were made) 100 ml Parfum at Saks.
The daily lemming
By my count, the fourth model from Guerlain honoring the 170th birthday of the bee bottle (see Maison Matisse Couleur Bonheur, Bouquet de la Mariée Murano edition, Reve d’Amour Nadine Kanso edition, and that’s not counting this year’s Cherry Blossom or Muguet editions): Bee Garden, a 100% upcycled* fruity floral with rhubarb, bergamot, jasmine, rose, neroli, cedar, sandalwood and black tea.
The 1 liter bottle will run you €60,000, assuming you can get your hands on it…
