Happily for me, I do not love this bottle in the slightest, but perhaps it is a lemming of yours? From Louis Vuitton, Symphony in the Murano Art Edition of Frank Gehry's design for the brand's Les Extraits collection: "Elevating fragrance to art, the new bottle is created in collaboration with legendary architect Frank Gehry and Glass Master Simone Cenedese. A remarkable transformation of Gehry’s design for the iconic Les Extraits Collection, each limited-edition is as unique as nature itself, resembling a blooming flower that poetically embodies his trademark free-flowing, yet sculptural forms." 40 were made, I do not know the cost. (Bear in mind that the "regular" bottle of Symphony is $530.)
A gift we must preserve and take care of
Rose. Because it was the perfume my mother wore. She applied rose water on my face every morning until I was about 10 years old. She just turned 90. I consider all of the notes coming from nature as a gift we must preserve and take care of, because they really are emotional and linked to our history. Immediately when we’re smelling something, we’re connected to our memories of childhood. The smell of fruit like peach, banana, or coconut influences our mood and makes us happier.

No hints of bacon-wrapped hot dog topped with grilled onions and peppers
Louis Vuitton’s new fragrance, City of Stars, is the latest attempt to bottle up Los Angeles — the idea of it and what it inspires. It does not smell like structural failures. Nor does it smell like a romanticized night of bad decisions. There are no hints of bacon-wrapped hot dog topped with grilled onions and peppers, no traces of burnt air from fireworks. The City of Stars energy is more aspirational, idealized, sanitized, but essential nonetheless. Manufactured scents like perfumes also can anchor us to the present. And City of Stars grounds you in awareness of a moment — and, most important, serves as a reminder that it’s fleeting.
