The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 12 September 2022 6 Comments

Bloomingdales is celebrating its 150th this year. Among the (many) special items, this edition of Byredo Bal d'Afrique ("In this limited edition fragrance created to mark 150 years of Bloomingdale's, the iconic BYREDO label is transformed to evoke a precious keepsake from a former century, like the ex libris of a treasured book"), $299 for 100 ml. There's a matching Bibliothèque candle for $95.

      It’s such a great bottle! Don’t really understand why it costs more, but Byredo is all expensive now.

    I agree – I love the bottle label but why is it a higher price?

      Now I’m wondering if it isn’t also the box, which is much fancier than their regular.

        Maybe and makes some sense – a collectors box.
