More money than you know what to do with? How about the Colognes Woody Wagon from Louis Vuitton: "Louis Vuitton and Alex Israel join forces to unveil the Colognes Woody Wagon, an exceptional piece produced in a limited edition of 66 as a nod to the legendary Route 66 and containing the six Colognes Perfumes of the collection. An icon of Californian culture, instantly recognizable for its wood paneling, the Woody Wagon has long occupied a unique place in the mythology of the American West. Reinterpreted with the savoir-faire typical of the Maison and its uncompromising standards, it becomes a one-of-a-kind creation at the point where design, art and perfume meet.​" The top lifts off to reveal 100 ml bottles of Afternoon Swim, Pacific Chill, Sun Song, California Dream, City of Stars and On the Beach​. $11,700.

Not my lemming but it did make me laugh: the S’Mac and Cheese Lip Balm set from a limited edition collaboration between Panera and Holler and Glow. The duo includes 6g balms in S’Mac My Day ("golden, mac & cheese-scented balm that’s as rich and satisfying as your favorite spoonful") and Get That Bread ("a toasty, bread-scented balm with a soft, brown hue, evoking the scent of baked bread with every swipe") and is $8 at The Panera Shop or Amazon.
