Mitsouko is 100, but Jicky is 130. For Jicky's birthday, Guerlain asked Senegalese artist Baye Gallo to decorate 16 bottles (there's a longer backstory on the Guerlain site if you care to read it). "Painted entirely by hand, the bottle takes on vibrant colours and unique textures, faithful to the tradition of free and profuse African art. The use of coffee grounds – the artist’s favourite material – offers the crystal bottle a singular relief, a raw dimension that contrasts with the symbolism of its motifs. This creation is a declaration of humanity..." The 1 liter (yep) bottle is reportedly €7500.
