I don't know about you, but I find there is a special sort of joy in looking at limited edition bottles I covet, so long as they hold juice I like but don't love, and as an added bonus they're already sold out so I don't have to waste time thinking about whether I should buy one. Here is Jean Paul Gaultier Classique, a scent I would probably never use up even if it was in 10 ml, in a 50 ml bottle, "dressed in a tulle printed with Dr. Woo's exclusive tattoos directly inspired by the Haute Couture 2021-22 Gaultier Paris by Sacai fashion show". I believe it came out this summer, and maybe you can still find one if you really want it, and if you're intrigued by the design, you can read about the Gaultier Paris by Sacai Fall/Winter 2021 Haute Couture collection here. (And this winter you can also find Classique and Le Male in holiday sweaters, here and here.)
The daily lemming
Another chance for a limited edition bottle from Jo Malone for Holiday 2021: Pomegranate Noir, with the same silver finish as the Rose & Magnolia I posted last month, here done up with a red cap. At Selfridges in the UK, £105 for 100 ml.
The daily lemming
Still haven’t found anything to lemm from the Diptyque holiday collection? Here’s another opportunity…Do Son, in a limited edition bottle done up in gold. $188 for 75 ml Eau de Parfum at Neiman Marcus, where you’ll also find a spiffy gold compact for Eau Capitale…
The daily lemming
Hermès Agar Ebène in a limited edition bottle decorated by calligraphy artist Mohammed Mandi Al Tamimi, with a matching (sold separately) plum leather sleeve. No idea what they cost, probably don't want to know. Apparently they are already available in Hermès boutiques. (via savoirflair)
The daily lemming
Atelier Cologne's holiday 2021 collection features the work of artist Daria Hlazatova. Shown is the limited edition of Clémentine California (100 ml, $142), and there's also a candle in the same design, in Bois Montmartre ("the distinct and inspiring atmosphere of Paris with effervescent notes of petitgrain and pink pepper to brighten the cedarwood base"; 180g for $62), both at Sephora. On the Atelier Cologne website you'll find more goodies, including a candle carousel ($42).
