The other daily lemming

Guerlain Amour Céleste: "...in honour of Qixi, or Lunar Valentine’s Day, the legendary Chinese celebration dedicated to love. For this first Millésime, Guerlain has entrusted Lucie Touré, a French artist whose art combines needlepoint and paper-cutting techniques, with the creation of a romantic adornment for its emblematic Bee Bottle, dressed in yellow gold for the occasion. [...] Delphine Jelk...has created Amour Céleste, an olfactory symphony where the romanticism of flowers meets the dazzling freshness of citrus fruits. Subtle and refined, the fragrance opens with a luminous prelude of bergamot and orange. It then reveals a floral heart where osmanthus, with its fruity and leathery facets, combines with the intensity of Sambac jasmine and the honeyed nuances of rose. The journey concludes with notes of ambergris and smoked tea to create a mysterious, lingering trail." 1730 numbered bottles, 125 ml Bee Bottle plus 30 ml Travel Spray, $880 at Guerlain USA.
