Guerlain's Perle Impériale Millésime 2024, the first of a projected yearly series of limited edition bee bottles for Eid al-Fitr: "Combining savoir-faire and avant-garde, the iconic Bee Bottle is adorned with an elegant lace of pearly-white cabochons designed and enhanced with dazzling crystals by the House of Swarovski. This new creation, with its exclusive powdery trail, invites you on a sensory odyssey between East and West...in its eau de parfum version. As radiant as the crystals adorning the bottle, this exclusive olfactory touch opens with luminous bergamot before revealing in its heart a luscious and enchanting fig accord that unfurls with the sensuality of a pearl. This powdery trail then awakens the spirit of the Orient, embodied by a woody sandalwood base, enhanced by myrrh and leathery notes." 1,605 were made, 125 ml Eau de Parfum plus 30 ml travel spray and funnel, $800.

On the one hand I am mostly feeling done with oud, on the other, Lush's new Oudhess shower gel sounds really good: "Mubarak! It's time to celebrate Eid. Jump into festivities feeling fresh with this opulent shower gel. Precious and rare oudh oil brings a dark, woody aroma that blends with the heady florals of jasmine absolute and rose, while osmanthus is perfect for awakening the senses after Ramadan, with its ripe peach scent."

From Panier des Sens, Blooming Iris Shower Gel: "This extra-gentle natural shower care product transforms into a fine, creamy foam on contact with water. It leaves a floral, woody and bewitching scent on the skin. The scent: Powdery and sophisticated, iris blends with the musky, woody accords of cedar and violet. Its comfortable floral trail bewitches the senses, a perfect marriage of floral grace and bewitching woody warmth. Iris Germanica, native to the northern Mediterranean, has been selected for our collection. Its absolute essence is obtained after an extremely delicate distillation, involving a very slow process and a particularly low yield. This makes it one of the most majestic products on a perfumer's palette." $15 for 250 ml at CO Bigelow.
