If you were thinking of buying the large bottle of Diptyque L'Eau Papier, the holiday limited edition collector bottle is the exact same price as the "regular". "The limited-edition bottle has been revised in gold, with a transparent view that affords a glimpse of the nuances created by ink on paper. This light and fresh white-musk fragrance inspired by paper is composed of notes of steamed rice, luminous mimosa and a deep blonde wood accord that wears like a second skin." $175 for 100 ml at Nordstrom.

The occasional lemming
Jean Paul Gaultier did up Classique and Le Male in red puffer vests last year; this year it's fur-trimmed silver: "This dazzling collector's edition of Classique is reimagined in an iridescent bottle containing the original Classique perfume under a faux fur coat." The women's is currently on markdown at Macy's ($110 for 100 ml), don't know if they'll stock the men's or not.
