The almost daily lemming

Featuring 300+ diamonds (including a ring with a two-carat stone hidden in the stopper), 650 grams of gold, and you pick the fragrance. Videos below the jump…
The occasional lemming
Jean Paul Gaultier did up Classique and Le Male in red puffer vests last year; this year it's fur-trimmed silver: "This dazzling collector's edition of Classique is reimagined in an iridescent bottle containing the original Classique perfume under a faux fur coat." The women's is currently on markdown at Macy's ($110 for 100 ml), don't know if they'll stock the men's or not.
The occasional lemming
From Lolita Lempicka, Le Parfum in the annual holiday limited edition: "The famous apple invites us to discover a new chapter of its fairy tale. For this limited-edition launch, the bottle takes on a midnight blue shade adorned with sparkling golden lines shining under a star shower." In preview at Lolita Lempicka, €134 for 100 ml.
The occasional lemming
Scented taper candles from Carrière Frères. "Through this collection of scented taper candles, Carrière Frères brings back the memory of decorative candles used to embellish tables at the beginning of the 20th Century, thus reconnecting us with the early years of the brand, founded in 1884." Available in spearmint, cedar, tomato and jasmine, $44 for 6 at Carrière Frères.
