The almost daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 27 September 2023 12 Comments

From Guerlain, the fifth (at least I think it's the fifth?) model honoring the 170th birthday of the bee bottle (see Maison Matisse Couleur Bonheur, Bouquet de la Mariée Murano edition, Reve d’Amour Nadine Kanso edition, Bee Garden): Le Bouquet de la Cour, with the bottle done up by Parisian jewelers Chaumet. Featuring 300+ diamonds (including a ring with a two-carat stone hidden in the stopper), 650 grams of gold, and you pick the fragrance. Videos below the jump.

    I am SURE I am not the target audience. Besides, I would flaunt the 2 carat diamond instead of keeping it hidden, just sayin’ …

      I probably shouldn’t have used the word “hidden”…it’s the top of the cap but it pulls out to be a wearable ring…

    I wish I could afford to buy this–because if I could, all that money would make a nice addition to my retirement account.

      Yes, my thought! I could buy this or…repair the roof on my shop. Trade in the old Honda for a snazzy plug in Hybrid of some sort. Keep the old Honda and do a tour of the great vineyards of France, Art Nouveau architecture of Belgium with a side trip to see Gaudi in Barcelona, or further afield, a field survey of the oldest operating anagrams kilns in Japan… sigh! So many interesting things, so little time and money!

    I would accidentally drop and break this immediately.

    I’ll take six of them. Kidding of course.

    That bottle looks uncomfortable to hold. And could anyone who owned it restrain themselves from taking it out to show their guests and saying, “Look! It’s made of gold and covered with diamonds!,” or is that just me? While I’m daydreaming, I would have it filled with Mitsouko. Parfum.
