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…
Marking as something I would not need even if was a bargain (hint, it's not) but that just looks sort of cool: a woven leather candle basket from Loewe.

Hat tip to David, who found us this bargain at the Harrods sale. The Domus Aurea Diffuser from Dr. Vranjes ("Purveyor of blending the purest natural ingredients with the world's finest essential oils, Dr. Vranjes makes home fragrance a more decadent and luxurious affair.

The 5L bottle was £12,000, now a bargain at £9,599.
Guerlain has launched Fall Flowers, a new floral fragrance in a limited edition collector bottle from the Arita Porcelain Lab in Japan. Fall Flowers follows last year’s collaboration with Arita, which featured a porcelain bottle of Guerlain Mitsouko…
Candle lovers, file this away in your brain right next to the Snoopy candle cover: Jonathan Adler's match strikes, available in a number of shapes including the elephant shown above (plus, squirrel, ice cream cone, kangaroo, horse head, among others): "Our white porcelain bisque match strikes are a perfect mix of form and function, featuring a frictional base that ignites strike-anywhere matches. [...] You probably woke up today not realizing you needed a matchstrike, but guess what—you do." $42 at Candle Delirium.
