The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 2 October 2025 8 Comments

In case you were holding out for nicer looking bottles of Jo Malone's Ginger Biscuit or Orange Bitters, here they are, part of the Holiday 2025 limited edition collection. Both shown in 100 ml for $170; Orange Bitters is also available in 30 ml for $90, but not with the color cap. There's also a Bitter Orange & Chocolate ceramic candle, 300g for $140. Update: Midnight Musk & Amber is available in 100 ml with a blue cap, and there are possibly others I missed.

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. Inspired by the fluidity and texture of cedarwood, Barlet has adorned the pleated glass with a green, beige and brown watercolour design recalling the needles and branches of the tree. 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.

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.
