A limited edition bottle of Nina Ricci's L'Air du Temps (you can see last year's model here) decorated by gilder Anne Brun ("Applying her vision to the emblematic L’Air du Temps bottle, she translates delicate petal details into a finely crafted gilded cage that encloses the matte white bottle, creating a golden piece of art") with a new juice developed by perfumer Sonia Constant ("Inspired by Anne Brun’s delicate gilded creations, I wanted to create a jewel-like perfume. Blending tuberose flowers dipped in gold with sophisticated woods and creamy coconut, I imagined a fragrance for a radiant woman whose inner light shines on those around her"). In 50 ml Eau de Parfum, €113 at Nina Ricci.

Guerlain's Perle Impériale Millésime 2024, the first of a projected yearly series of limited edition bee bottles for Eid al-Fitr: "Combining savoir-faire and avant-garde, the iconic Bee Bottle is adorned with an elegant lace of pearly-white cabochons designed and enhanced with dazzling crystals by the House of Swarovski. This new creation, with its exclusive powdery trail, invites you on a sensory odyssey between East and West...in its eau de parfum version. As radiant as the crystals adorning the bottle, this exclusive olfactory touch opens with luminous bergamot before revealing in its heart a luscious and enchanting fig accord that unfurls with the sensuality of a pearl. This powdery trail then awakens the spirit of the Orient, embodied by a woody sandalwood base, enhanced by myrrh and leathery notes." 1,605 were made, 125 ml Eau de Parfum plus 30 ml travel spray and funnel, $800.
