The almost-daily lemming
From Chloé, a collector bottle of Cedrus: "Chloé introduces Cedrus, the iconic Atelier des Fleurs fragrance, in a limited-edition bottle designed by the French artist Anne-Sophie Barlet.

The bottle is topped by a sand-coloured cap, and presented in limited-edition packaging featuring Barlet’s design." $166 for 50 ml at Nordstrom.
