The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 13 December 2022 7 Comments

I do like these better than yesterday's extravaganza from Louis Vuitton, but not so much that I'll lose sleep over them: two fragrances for Lalique designed by American artist James Turrell and inspired by the American West. At left, Purple Sage for women (purple sage, mandarin, grapefruit and rhubarb); at right, Range Rider for men (leather, pepper, amber and citrus). 100 of each were made, reportedly €25,000 each.

Happily for me, I do not love this bottle in the slightest, but perhaps it is a lemming of yours? From Louis Vuitton, Symphony in the Murano Art Edition of Frank Gehry's design for the brand's Les Extraits collection: "Elevating fragrance to art, the new bottle is created in collaboration with legendary architect Frank Gehry and Glass Master Simone Cenedese. A remarkable transformation of Gehry’s design for the iconic Les Extraits Collection, each limited-edition is as unique as nature itself, resembling a blooming flower that poetically embodies his trademark free-flowing, yet sculptural forms." 40 were made, I do not know the cost. (Bear in mind that the "regular" bottle of Symphony is $530.)

From Mistral, Alpine Brandy soap for men: "Powerfully aromatic aromas of stone pine, fir balsam, and dry woods mingle with crackling fire and aged Armagnac." $12.50 for 200g at Mistral Soap.

From Giorgio Armani, Sì Passione in the limited edition Laser bottle. "The flacon is embellished with metallic lacquering using innovative laser-cut technology, while the glass cap sublimates the bottle, giving it a bold, daring yet elegant look for you and your loved ones." In 50 ml Eau de Parfum, at Nocibe in France.
