From Caron, a limited edition collector bottle of Pour Un Homme for the Gitana 18 trimaran: "Caron unveils a limited edition of the iconic Pour Un Homme de Caron, the bottle design brings to life the original work conceived by the artists Florian Quistrebert and Michaël Quistrebert for the new artistic signature of Gitana 18: a matrix of dots forming vibratory lines. The label of the bottle is produced from recycled carbon, selected from production scraps of the trimaran." €129 at Sephora in France.

L'Artisan Parfumeur celebrates their 50th this year, and they're reissuing the 1998 Pierre Dinand blackberry-shaped bottle of Mûre et Musc. I think it was last seen in 2005 but I could be wrong. This year's model will hold 100 ml of Mûre et Musc Extrême. 100 bottles were mouth-blown at the Bercauverre workshop, with brass stem and leaves by Atelier Pichard-Balme and a presentation case from Atelier Martial.​ Reportedly €1500, available next week at the brand's Paris Saint-Honoré boutique, and possibly elsewhere.
