Guerlain inaugurates a new series of annual numbered edition bottles dedicated to the Lunar New Year. We begin with the dragon for 2024, designed by Parisian jeweller Francesco Truscelli and decorating the bee bottle for Neroli Outrenoir. 1855 were made, in 125 ml with 30 ml travel spray. Contact Guerlain if you want one (I do not know the price or if they will be sold online, if you know, do comment).
The 2023 Harrods Bear from Estée Lauder: "Allow Harrods Bear to introduce you to a blend of rose, lily, tuberose, citrus and wood.

This limited edition collectable is the perfect gift; accompanied by a safekeeping velvet pouch, it brings the fragrance of a thousand flowers to life when delicately touched upon your pulse points." £270 for 5g at Harrods.

I'll take one of each. 40th anniversary editions of perfumer Guy Robert's Amouage Gold Man and Amouage Gold Woman, both updated by perfumer Alexandra Carlin and presented in "the highest quality crystal, made in the original moulds and hand-blown reality in the workshops of the High Cristallerie haven of Waltersperger in the heart of Normandy, France". To be released in December, 500 bottles were made of each, $1,950 a pop.
