The daily lemming
Yeah, I guess those would look ok on my dresser? From Dior, Les Récoltes Majeures. La Rose is coming in June, Le Jasmin in September, but if you hurry you can get one of the 200 bottles recently released for Le Muguet (above left), with the flowers done up by the French Atelier Vermont. And be warned, if I understand correctly, they mean to release these every year in new designs. "At Dior, the lily-of-the-valley is more than just a flower. It is a passion, an icon, a lucky charm that Christian Dior would stitch into the seams of his garments. Francis Kurkdjian wanted to pay tribute to the legendary Diorissimo lily-of-the-valley accord, a masterwork of perfumery from 1956, while also adding his own signature touch." In 125 ml, €1200.

Dolce & Gabbana Velvet Zafferano in a special edition (I think this one was for Ramadan): "The golden arabesques on the bottle mirror the notes within. Part of Dolce & Gabbana’s Velvet Zafferano range, this limited edition eau de parfum sees saffron dancing at the forefront of a rich and opulent scent. Contrasted with golden-hued tobacco leaf, the striking elixir leaves an unforgettable impression on the skin." £272 for 100 ml at Harrods, where you'll also find it in a coffret with matching candle for £401.

Trudon's "Lost in a moment" limited edition duo for summer, with candles in Under the Trees ("An invigorating green juice Under the Trees unfolds as a refreshing, aromatic-green juice, complemented with bright notes of cedar wood. Its invigorating fragrance is composed of a cucumber accord with a hint of blackcurrant buds in the head notes, a lively spearmint and jasmine heart, fused with notes of cedar in the base") and Summer Haze ("A sweet-floral composition Summer Haze features a sweet and floral scent that exudes pure joy. Sophisticated and daring, the fragrance consists of a red berry macaroon accord in the head notes, an opulent heart of absolute rose and a musky base with warm notes of Tonka bean"). Both fragrances by perfumer Alexandra Carlin, 270g for $140 each at Trudon.

Very much not my lemming, but presumably it is somebody's: the limited edition Infra Luna 2.0* from Byredo. "[...] Taking inspiration from the insect world and transposing it into bold industrial design, experience, form and function intersect with the INFRA LUNA 2.0 desk lamp, the second collaboration between Ben Gorham and [light artist] Benoit Lalloz. [...] In a hybrid project combining scent and sculptural light design, the surprise is visual but also olfactory. Playing with temperature to release the scent of the candle placed underneath - the heat from the lamp’s halogen bulb melts the candle wax - has a spirit that is part lab, part installation. Creating a gentle halo of light and an additional halo of scent, the INFRA LUNA 2.0 is as inventive as it is intriguing." €2500, includes bulb but not candle, available in pink or silver. [*There was apparently a 1.0 version of this lamp back in 2022; I missed it.]
